Open your doors as a Film Maker - Made in the ...

Made in the West film festival has been highly beneficial for me as a young film maker. I would encourage all up coming film makers to enter this film festival as it's not only about winning awards but also making new and promising connections with like minded and highly talented people.

Blackmagic Pocket 4k Footage - ISO3200

For the last few weeks, I had the pleasure of testing Blackmagic Pocket 4k camera.

I call this film “First Light” as we filmed this during sunrise with all natural lights.

Stacked the Lumix 12-35 ii onto the Pocket 4k with Variable ND Filter.

The purpose of this test was to see how much details does it really capture in light light situations and how much can we pull in post.

  • ISO 400,800, 1250, 3200

  • 4K Resolution

  • RAW 3.1

  • Most of the shots are filmed on ISO 3200.

  • Editing and Graded in Davinci Resolve 15

Blackmagic Pocket 4k Sample Footage

H264 8Bit 4k Export


In some footage’s I have pulled highlight down to bring back the sky, the footage did not loose details and stayed clean. On a few ISO 3200 footage’s, I have increased shadows and mid details. No thanks for online compression it becomes difficult showing any footage’s correctly at its actual quality.

  • Perfect for B Cam with URSA Mini Pro

The major advantage of the Pocket 4k is the ability to use lightweight setup Gimbals without using the heavier setups as Pocket 4k will match well with the URSA Mini Pro.

The entire film is shot on Zhiyun Tech Crane 2.

It was quite simple to balance the camera on Zhiyun’s gimbal.

The camera performs extremely considering the size and the functions it provides.

On the set of Magic

An affable Duke, concerned by his niece’s presumed obsession with fairies and the like, hires a hapless Conjurer for an evening of magical entertainment, as a way of reaching out to her. But his efforts, and the evening are complicated with the arrivals of her cynical brother, a skeptical doctor, an idealistic vicar, the Conjurer’s demons, and a trick that goes a little too far...

Magic - Screengrab - Rah Sharma

Recently I was called on the set of "MAGIC" a feature film directed by Elvis Joseph. "MAGIC" is based on a play by G K Chesterton. It was a pleasure working alongside Elvis and Heather who has spent their heart and sweat into this film.

We are 2 days in filming this feature. The entire film is to be filmed within 3 days. I am really going to keep this short and simple as I am lost for words by just looking at these actors and how well they performed.

Camera Setup

The entire film has been shot on one camera. Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro was hot swappable between my custom made 2m slider and tripod. We stacked on the PS Technik Carl Zeiss glass and filmed most of the scenes at wide open f/2.8.

Lighting Setup

This was the key for the visuals of this film. Having the luck of high ceilings, we hung 3x Aputure 120T on Octabox and Chinese Lantern 1m above head height. 2x Spiffy Spekular lights were utilised for special needs, set lighting and the other as a portable soft moonlight.

Our best friend was a White Polly board which was used to bounce the Aputure 120T hanging from the ceiling back on face.

Backlight and key light for mid and closeup were done with Aputure Lightstorm 1/2 on Aputure's spacelight.
