Why the Blackmagic Design Ursa Mini Pro 12k cinema camera may not be what "we" were asking for but may very well be a revolutionary force in digital motion picture capture. Blackmagic raw is just getting warmed up.

Hopes for next-gen BMPCC & URSA + thoughts on the BMPCC 6k & Ursa G2 - with feedback from Facebook
We've had over six months with our Blackmagic Design cinema cameras (after switching from RED DIGITAL CINEMA's sensational Scarlet-w). In this video I discuss what I love about both the URSA G2 and the Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera 6k, what improvements (and features) I'd like to see in their next generation iteration as well as sharing community feedback from URSA and BMPCC Facebook group polls (most requested features and improvements). I discuss the Ursa first, then the BMPCC 6k - timestamps below so you can jump to what's relevant to you. My next video will be scripted... shock horror I know...

Blackmagic goes head to head with ProResHQ (BRAW episode 2)
EDIT: I had a REC709 lut node switched off in two test shots. This is a re-upload of the original video with that fixed... Surprised no one called me out for it!
In part 2 of this 3 part look at Blackmagic raw, we're pitting BRAW against the longstanding Industry standard and widely accepted and requested ProResHQ. Does shooting raw really make THAT much of a difference? What about when matching different Blackmagic Design cameras? Or when the white balance is way off the mark? In this video we look at ProResHQ and BRAW footage shot on the Ursa Mini Pro G2 and the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6k and see how each codec fares trying the bring them into line fast and the additional workflow flexibility that BRAW provides. But ProResHQ has been an industry staple for a long time for a reason...
