The new Super35 6K Pocket Cinema Camera from Blackmagic was delivered into a few lucky people’s hands last week, and my friends at Stray Angel Films were one of them. They gave me a week with it, shooting some stuff for my artist friend Chase Lock surrounding his new gallery at Olympia Club in Santa Monica, and I’ve put together a sort of review/overview …
It’s been a long time coming, but it’s finally here. I finally used the Sprocket Rocket in “ideal” conditions, exposing exactly where it falls apart and where it succeeds. In my initial review, I discovered that I enjoyed taking the Sprocket Rocket out. It didn’t add any weight to whatever I had it in, it was a great conversation starter, …
In which we head over to Duclos Lenses to show lens expert Matthew Duclos some footage we shot with a Canon “Nifty” 50mm and an Arri Master Prime 50mm to see if he could spot the differences.

Kenny heads over to Stray Angel to compare the various use cases for the Canon C100mkII, C200, and C300mkII.
If you’ve been following OWL BOT for a couple years you’ll know how much sprocket photography I do. The combination of the wide, cinema-like aspect ratio traditionally only seen with cameras like the XPan and the sort-of Punk Rock aesthetic of using the wrong film in the wrong camera and seeing the parts of the negative you’re not “supposed” to …
The 12” Q-LION is a 95+ CRI, bi-color LED lamp from Quasar Science. I was given it, and the new mounting kit from Filmtools, to take on a few of my shoots to review. As the videos haven’t been released at the time of this writing, I’ve included screen grabs and BTS photos below. First off, this thing is surprisingly …
