DPReview TV: ‘Wooden Niccolls’ with the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K

30 Mar

A ‘Wooden Niccolls’ is an episode in which Chris and Jordan bring together a film crew to recreate a scene from a Hollywood movie, all while testing a piece of gear. In the first Wooden Niccolls for DPReview TV, their team used the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K (BMPCC 4K) to recreate a scene from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

But wait – there’s more! You’ll go behind the scenes to see how the scene was shot, meet members of the crew, and learn a bit about rigging the BMPCC 4K. Will Chris win the Oscar for his portrayal of Kate Winslet in a dramatic role? Will Jordan’s touching performance bring you to tears? We look forward to critics’ reviews.

If there’s a movie episode you’d like to see our dynamic duo recreate, tell us in the comments!
