DEPTH OF FIELD MICRO FOUR THIRDS – BMPCC 4K

In today’s video we’re talking about depth of field on micro four thirds sensors. People have said you can’t get shallow depth of field on micro four thirds sensors, that full frame and large format give you more – in many cases that is true. Yet, with the advancements made on speedboosters and very fast native micro four thirds lenses we can get very good depth of field using cameras like the bmpcc 4k and gh5.

I’ve provided a few test shots for you guys using the SLR Magic 25mm APO Microprime T2.1, a great option for anyone getting into the world of cinematography without having to fork over $10,000 for a singe lens. Also in the test footage is the Sigma 18-35 F1.8 with a Viltrox 0.71x speedbooster, at F1.8 and F1.4 to get some variation. We also compare the SLR Magic 25mm Microprime T1.5 for MFT and the Sigma 18-35 without a speedbooster to show the variance in depth of field.

Test #1 @3:53 Minutes
Test #2 @8:16 Minutes
Test #3 @11:30 Minutes

HOW TO STABILIZE HANDHELD VIDEO – EASYRIG MINIMAX

In this video i’m reviewing my favorite piece of filmmaking gear to help stabilize handheld footage, the easyrig! I own the Easyrig Minimax and it’s helped me stabilize handheld footage for documentaries, commercial filmmaking and branded content.

There’s a place and time for chaotic filmmaking but when you want the subtle movements of body language and emotionality from a scene and want the handheld look, I can’t think of a better way to get rid of micro jitters and shaky video than by using the Easyrig.

I show a few example footage of using the easyrig and how it helps to stabilize handheld footage as well as a brief overview of the easyrig minimax itself and how I set it up fo handheld filmmaking.

Tricky Daytime Interior Lighting

In today’s video we’re going over a documentary lighting setup using available light and a Aputure Amaran 672 LED panel. A recent documentary I was working on in Rwanda had a pretty tricky setup as I had three people I need to be filmed and I thought it would be a great behind the scenes breakdown for you guys.
