[@therealeugenecussons]

Can I contact you on some advice?

[@Summitic]

just knowing that the RED PRO CFAST 512GB costs $529.00 gives me headaches and discouragement ! i would rather stick with Sony Alpha !

[@markoboychuk]

Thank you for adding which lenses you used during the b-roll clips. It's a small detail, but much appreciated!

[@Joey_Helms]

It's way too much of a contributor to an image to leave it out in this context ;)

[@BryanVacchio]

@@Joey_Helms I started do that on my social media channels a while back. I would see footage and wonder what lens and aperture was being used. I hope those types of detail sharing becomes more mainstream.

[@Joey_Helms]

Fingers crossed :)

[@topherwallace5307]

I've been part of the RED community, using their ecosystem, for a long time. I think this is the most concise, no BS, just what you need to know, video I have ever seen for end to end work flow with RED. I'll integrate some of your tips into my workflow. It's always encouraging to learn a thing or two from a new RED user. Great work! Also, you are a talented DP. The example footage in this video is gorgeous!

[@Joey_Helms]

Thanks so much Topher! Really appreciate hearing this from a RED vet! :) 🤙

I have to agree.

[@parcoparko]

[@andinbriwel1092]

Agreed also. SO glad I stumbled onto his videos! Someone does needs to do a real series about accurate color correction vs. color grading - someone who's been around since before the time when people started using still cameras to make movies, so that it's someone who actually understands RYB gains, why they are what they are, and how to actually calibrate color to an accurate, measurable representation prior to "grading." :) I'm not sure any accurate tutorials exist on the subject. Kind of like timecode - no one outside older filmmakers and tv studio engineers really understands it anymore well enough to explain it, much less teach how to use it. In fact, most don't even believe it's valuable. People spend $300 apiece on little devices to feed timecode into cameras without ever understanding what to do with it later, and even post in production companies producing shows for network tv just ignore the embedded tc and use plural eyes, smh.

[@Joey_Helms]

Thanks man! Agreed on colour grading/correction. I may collaborate with a pro to talk about it at some point here cause I am just doing what feels right and is not scientifically accurate. And ha TC, yeah something I also just started using with the Komodo but such a big fan!

[@TheArzit]

You're legit!! This honestly feels like discovering all about a new camera myself and figuring out all the bits and pieces to make it work.... I will soon upgrade to RED and the credit goes to you sir! Kudos

@@nakhoneproduction2164 yes it’s better red raw is arguably the best codec out there

[@Helivatefilmsaerial]

Great stuff, keep it up! Also, I just wanted to point out that with the Komodo you don't need to worry about black shading again after changing exposure. On DSMC2 cameras you would have to do this if you didn't black shade for all the exposure range. But on the Komodo, when you black shade it takes into account all the different exposures for that sensor temp. You'll notice this when the changing exposures the E may go yellow, then switch back to green. And as you mentioned the T/E (T=Temp and E=Exposure), watch these because if the T is green that means the temp changes haven't been significant enough to need a new black shade. Also, that blob you saw almost looks like you had some light leak when you black shaded. Most lens caps aren't dark enough to do a trustworthy black shade. I would recommend the body cap over a lens cap in most situations. And then even trying to cover it up with something else dark if outside on a sunny day. Finally, this is super important, black shade after your camera has warmed up (can speed this up by letting it record for several minutes). Hope this helps!

[@Joey_Helms]

Great, great call out! Gonna pin it for a bit so people read! Still learning 😉 @People - Please read it!

[@Helivatefilmsaerial]

I need to make a correction to one thing. If you do make a significant enough change to exposure (+-1/2 sec) you will see the E go yellow, indicating a new calibration is suggested. But that is a pretty significant change as I've only seen the E go yellow when really cranking the shutter speed. Which ideally you don't want to do anyways to keep a natural motion blur.

[@CineGraphStudios]

Is the black shading going to be more efficient once it is no longer in Beta? I would find this super annoying if I constantly had to black shade.

[@WeAreMapuche]

@@CineGraphStudios No, this is not a beta issue, this is just how the camera works. It’s really not as big of an issue as you think. But it is something to consider. This isn’t a point and shoot system.

[@CineGraphStudios]

I also another request, can you make a video on all the accessories you use and their significance (paired with your RED KOMODO). Basically how you set up to how you use. From follow focus to everything. Maybe a detailed series of those instruments like how they work and stuff. Also they way you stabilize your image. Including the one you used with the Harley Davidson bike scene. Maybe also some other options for that and stuff. I would be very happy if you consider my two comments.

[@Joey_Helms]

Thanks a lot Sanak. Some great ideas in there. I will definitely consider making an accessories video! As for the Harley footage, check out the part after the sequence. There we talk about the gear we used.

Excellent video. The only thing I would've liked to see more of is how to expose low light scenes. I've been having trouble with that when the light isn't controllable. Again, amazing work.

[@Joey_Helms]

Thanks a lot! :) Well low light just give the sensor as much light as possible... Fast lens wide open, 180 degree shutter angle and then in post define the acceptable level of ISO (nothing you need to worry about during the shoot). If there are streetlights, some clipping of the lightsources should be fine. This is at least how I handle it.

[@dna8269]

@@Joey_Helms Thanks for the reply Joey! I appreciate it. I was a bit confused due to the "Low light capture" video on RED's channel -- they reference having your ISO set to a lower value while increasing the exposure of the scene via light, but to my understanding ISO doesn't affect the exposure of the raw data, so why would they speak about lowering the ISO to decrease your noise floor? I was thinking it didn't matter either, like you said. Confusing stuff. With that said, I will use your method! What do you feel is the upper level of ISO you can shoot at (or adjust to in post, rather) before it starts to become unusable?

[@Joey_Helms]

How I interpret it is that they are assuming that you can introduce more light in your scene and basically say don't crank up your ISO and then built your light and exposure out but work off a lower ISO. But hey, I am no expert. For me, w/o noise reduction in post, I think 1600 is the limit depending on how dynamic the scene is. Just my $0.02. everyone has different opinions on whats acceptable ;)

It was an amazing video! But can you make a more detailed video on how to colour grade on the Red Komodo

[@Joey_Helms]

Thanks and yup, that's slated :)

[@geirisk8]

You know that adjustment layers stack on top of each other, right? So the bottom one is what happens first, then the next one on top affects whatever you've done below and so on so forth. So if your Rec.709 conversion LUT is on top, the other stuff is happening before you are doing the conversion.

[@Joey_Helms]

Yup that's correct! I guess I wasn't clear enough 😂 nonetheless the rec709 has to happen last and hence be in the top layer.

[@geirisk8]

@@Joey_Helms Hmm I would beg to differ. This is like using LOG footage where you want to convert it to Rec.709 and then work on the clip after you've put it into the correct colour space. That's how I look at it. With that said, I've never used a RED camera or worked with RED footage!

[@Joey_Helms]

Well in the actual workflow you still do the rec 709 conversion first and then build the colour correction and look beneath it so it's non-destructive.

Absolutely beautiful R3D images here ! Curious what glass were you using?? I'm a very new/ Red komodo 6k owner/ operator - extremely grateful for this video !

thanks for the passion about the Komodo... and the videos. at 15:47 I see a glitch. then again a few times after that. what is that?

[@Joey_Helms]

Thanks a ton! That's my GPU crapping out during the render. 😂 No issues in the raw footage.
