It was directed and written by Emily Manthei and Joern Linnenbroecker. I shot this in raw using the old Veydra mini primes--largely at T/2.8 and iso 800.
The BMMCC really is a great little camera, I am excited to see Blackmagic returning to the camera with the new Micro Studio Camera 4k G2 (BMMSC 4k G2)
The plot focuses on the dubbing industry, which is very large in Germany and other European countries. The majority of films from other language speaking countries are almost always shown in the major cinemas after being dubbed into German.

How to get better footage from the Original Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera (BMPCC OG). I cover what settings should you use, what to look for while filming, and how to do a quick color grade in DaVinci Resolve.
**DISCLAIMER** If you are in Europe or other PAL regions, and heavy artificial light is present--you will want to use a 178.2 degree shutter angle to avoid "light banding." If it is natural light or film lights, 180 is preferred. However, if it is largely non-film artificial lights then 180 might not work.
