Ever wondered if it's just part of a work outfit? As a photographer turning videographer, i naturally wear my hat the whole time lol

I had a hat in the womb =/ lol

When the shoot calls for an AC i use the Tilta nucleus kit. I also will use hand follow focus units depending on the project.

Global shutter would have been nice but it was just a quick shoot for fun so there was no budget for rentals. I wouldn't day brutal is the right word but definitely would agree.

yes the Scarlet does 4k 120 where the komodo does 2k 120. I think either would be great for that. when you say new komodo, are you referring to the komodo x?

I'm way passed my vegan days my dude. don"t worry about me. after 3 years of that I realized thats not actually healthy!

@@Alexlohrum you could eat like 30 bell peppers - don’t put that blood on me

@@Fiddletennis I wasn't trying to be like that my bad.

@@Alexlohrum you still climbin??

@@Fiddletennis yes but defiantly not as much as id like too.

good to know!

100%

I understand they are two different lenses with completely different looks. thats the point. I wanted to test the differences in character and what not. But I totally get what you're saying!

I love the sigmas. super sharp and overall just love how versatile the zooms are while still having a fast aputure. I have nothing bad to say really beside the 50-100 breathing. surprisingly I haven't really had an issue with the productions I've been on. obviously would like if it didn't breath so much. for me the pros of the lens set out weigh the breathing on that lens.

used my small hd 702 touch. wish it had 1.5x de squeeze in camera.

yeah I have a gemini too. with all the affordable 1.5x options out I wish it had that desqueeze option. its annoying needing to rig up another monitor @@Alexlohrum

i agree. my buddy is getting the new atlas mercury anamorphics that are 1.5x. would be nice to not have to always use the small hd. I have the 4.7in red monitor as well that I use when I need a small rig but can't use it when shooting anamorphic. @@Auteur_Vision

we ended up quoting pretty low but I wasn't in charge of all that so I didn't really have a say. the project ended up being around 22k. I would have like to see more like 30k range at least but it is what it is.

really appreciate it!

Appreciate it. It’s the core swx shark fin. Best thing ever

Appreciate it man. Yeah being an AC is super fun. Still get to be in camera department without having to be the head of the department dealing with all that stuff.

Sadly he was a bit late to set so no saving the RED. stuff happens on set but I'll move on.

That's a great attitude! Keep up the good work@@Alexlohrum

glad you think a youtube talking head is the same as a real production/commercial. I'll take notes for the future.

Yeah true, should have gone with the teal background. Then he would get hired for sure

bro who gives a flying fuck

@@Alexlohrum You didn't understand my comment. Allow me to explain. The lighting you use in something like this will be interpreted by someone who knows how to light. You are using youtube as a platform. KZbin is mostly lit by experimentation leading to two large softbox fill lights left and right, used as key, because youtubers do not know how to light. The second step to this classic lighting is youtubers that want to be do something different but still don't know about lighting. These use the lighting this video uses. This lighting will impress the ignorant but it will turn off anyone who knows the basics. This is the lighting people who sell "cinematography" classes to youtubers use. First, this type of lighting is a modern cliche and not even a classic like the standard youtube lighting. Using a cliche is not a good sign. Second, it does not fit the content of the scene. It is way too dramatic. In lighting this is a crime because it it style over content. Third, it hides the face while offering nothing in return. Exposure is not an afterthought and there should always be a justification for not achieving in on a face. Fourth, it used the color contrast cliche. Anything will be interpreted. If you had used three point hard light, something only 5% know how to achieve, I would think you are showing off since this is only youtube, but hey, you probably have a few lensed lights around and know how to use them. If you had a pattern projected to the background or even some simple cutting, I would think you are too classic, but this is sometimes a good thing in interviews, corporate, etc. It would also demonstrate you probably know how to use a lensed light for projection and follow the TV series tradition of symbolizing time of day using colored light and projected patterns. If you used whatever light was in the room, that would also be interpreted, and not always in a bad way. I expect a cinematographer to know how to approach light in all situations and respect the principles.

@@aristotle_4532 Instead of all of the text do you just have a link where we can view your portfolio and witness your understanding of and real experience with lighting?

I'll have to make a video on that!

It is made by Rat Works. it was for the Arri Alex mini. Wooden camera makes a side cheese plate for dsmc2 cameras that I own if thats something you're looking for. i think its $150

unfortunately they postponed the release so it wont be going out until spring 2024

Sadly I did sell it. I really wasn't planning on it but in the last few months I've been working with the RED Monstro and Gemini and was really blown away with those sensors. I decided that after a year with the dragon that It would be a good time to upgrade. along with the upgrade I also saw it as a financial gain as I can rent it for more money and get it on more projects. A lot of production where I live are using alexa mini's, gemini, mini lf, and raptors so my dragon wasn't really in the picture. still a great camera and I plan on making a video on why I love the dragon still and why it may still be a good buy.

I appreciate it man!

I haven't noticed any bad rolling shutter on this camera. I just did a shoot 2 days ago with some fast whip pans and I didn't even notice the rolling shutter. I wouldn't worry about it tbh. thanks for watching. hope you enjoy your camera

@@Alexlohrum wow thanks!!

the rolling shutter is on the scarlet w is basically a global shutter with how good the rolling shutter is. you wont have any problems with fast whip pans

yeah the 1dx is such a great camera. definitely the most fun camera I've owned and learned the most while owning it. I use the r5 now for my photography but I think about the 1dx all the time still. Kinda miss it haha.

@@Alexlohrum see the problem I see with the R5 is it’s a lot of money and I think the technology is just not perfected yet. The tilt screen is great, but I have had tilt screen cameras in the past, they break….it’s a risk…the battery life I heard is not all that great….but I am not trashing it. To me it’s just not for me…if you understand….I just think the longevity is less…the R1 is scheduled to come out soon, I have heard but not sure, it will be around 8k…I don’t know….anyway….enjoy both of your cameras….I just bought the mark ii new for 3k, that’s plenty for me

@@richardreynolds8326 totally understand that. I think the thing I loved about the 1dx is just the simplicity. not about all the specs, it just works. I actually don't really take photos much anymore as a job, just when I travel. I'm more of a commercial cinematographer so I have toyed with the idea of selling my r5 for a 1dx again just for the nostalgia haha.

appreciate it!

thats great man. that is a huge thing not feeling the constant want for other cameras. I've been in that boat for a while now which has been so nice. I will say I do think about my 1dx here and there. I do miss that camera 😂
