"Letter" BlackMagic Pocket Cinema 4K Short Film

My favorite actor was in town for Christmas so we made a mini short together for practice for both of us. Each scene was shot in about 20 mins over a three day period with available light, with the exception of a single light as a bit of a hair light in the TV watching scene and a fill light to expose her face in the tea scene with the window in the back. Shot shoulder mounted.

Four LUTs created for different scenes of the short are available for purchase at https://shoptly.com/i/88b. Get 15% off with this discount code: youtube

The "Letter" LUT pack contains 4 custom LUTs that were created for different scenes of the short film, "Letter." Although the LUTs deliver a consistent look, each profile is different to account for the setting in which each scene was shot. It is recommended that the outdoor shot LUTs,
"Mailbox" and "Park," be utilized for your outdoor shots, and the remainder be used for interior shots. Of course, you may experiment in any way you wish!

Tech: BMPCC4K; Cinema DNG raw 4:1, 4K 24fps; Sigma 18-35 1.8; Viltrox Speedbooster; Juicebox battery; Samsung T51 TB SSD; Sennheiser MKH-416 (see below).

*I had a question about the audio so I wanted to give a detailed account: Audio was captured in 3 different ways: For the wake up scene and the mailbox scene there were roofers installing a roof across the street with 10 hammers banging. So, for this I recorded foley audio with a Sennheiser MHK-416 and a Zoom H6 recorder and edited it in. For the TV and tea scenes, I recorded with the 416 direct via mini XLR adapter into the Pocket 4K, with the mic laying on the couch and on the table. For the car and park scenes, the 416 was mounted to the shoulder rig and direct into the Pocket4K.
