Some work in progress stills for shoot a few weeks ago.

While we couldn’t use lights in this area since it was an active area (but could use an ultrabounce), it was fun working with and .

Here are some of my thoughts on the amazing Ursa Mini Pro 12K along with a video and a couple of Blackmagic RAW files could download and grade.

I tweaked some of the stills here. The sunset one in the middle has Blackmagic Gen 5 Extended Video as a base.

Thanks to those that helped out with the camera tests!

I did a lens test with on the Sigma Art 40 on the Ursa Mini Pro 12K a while back.

To me the lens is sharp—even when wide open—and has a very modern/clean aesthetic which I’m a big fan of. The pairing produces a very smooth, detailed but “precise” image.

Happy new year! It’s been a surreal and crazy one but here’s to a better 2021!

Took this a few weeks ago with the Ursa Mini Pro 12K. Thanks for your help Lizzie! #2020 #2021

I’m new to keyboards like this but it’s changed my workflow!

It’s built well, extremely easy to setup, and use.

Also trying out on . Great to see it on the default camera app!

I’m a big fan of the Ursa Mini Pro 12K’s anamorphic mode. There’s a massive amount of organic—yet smooth—detail that the sensor captures that pairs really well with the compression/distortion that anamorphic lenses bring.

The Nikon 85mm non-ai is a solid pairing though I’d like to try something like the Sigma Art 85mm. I find that the Art series pairs well with the ultra star since the Art’s are incredibly sharp which allow you to open up more than other pairings.

Using $1 store shower curtains to lightly diffuse the window alongside controlling via the 4x4. Some negative fill via 2x 36” x 36” floppies. There’s a Titan Tube in the background.

An anamorphic still from the Ursa Mini Pro 12K. I’m loving the possibilities that the UMP12K opens up in terms of anamorphic options ~50MP anamorphic!

One the biggest surprises is how the sensor produces a larger format look/field that marries well with anamorphic.

Red and gold 2x scopes! It will be interesting to see the differences between the Sankor 5e (gold) and Isco Ultra Star (red). Should be very similar.
