So a local production company gave me their BMPCC4K to shot this live session for a friend of a friend.
His project is called "a friend of mine" which makes this hilarious.

Any how. This was live and I was doing all the lighting and camera work on my own, so we only shot two angles.

I got it on short notice and did not have time to test before so I set them both to ISO400 and used the BMPCC for the close up, cause I knew how to work with it.

I tried cropping on the wide, but learned that you really need a clean clean image for that. Anyhow!
I like the menus a lot on the B4K, but for pure the pure bang for buck ratio winner, if you have time to light your shots: og pocket. For 250 to 300 used with accessories this is a killer deal.
I shoot so much multi cam music sessions, I think I am gonna get another pocket...


Oh and... I have a hard time lighting wide shots. Still early in my lighting career. But the artist is happy!

Any thoughts?
I finished the edit and cc a couple of weeks ago. I think his skin is too saturated. But watchable.
Learned a lot on that shoot.
 
For what it's worth, I liked the wide shot the best, mostly because of the lighting. The background wash was a good choice. You could have popped him out a bit more with a hairlight and a little more fill, but I definitely preferred it to the closeup, which didn't seem terribly flattering to me. Maybe it was the hat, or the slightly low angle. Taking the hat off and adding the hairlight might have helped the closeup a lot.

Just my .02
