[@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 :)

[@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]

@@WeAreMapuche I'm coming from an Eva1, so not worried about having a run and gun system. Just looking for my foot in the door with a Red, but wondering if I should save for an alternative Red.

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!

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!

Hey I would like to see a video on how you choose cinema lenses and generally a guide for beginner to pro in buying a cine lens. I would like to see different brands, kits , the best lenses used by pros and much affordable ones or at least an alternative to that.also why should you use a cinema lenses? Do they produce better quality videos than the normal photography lenses like sigma 18 to 35 which you used in one of your videos? Can you explain it from a beginner point of view regarding cinema lenses.

That is awesome! Congrats Karsten!!!

[@sanakchandra]

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.

@@jdwhite1 I ordered from B&H over two weeks ago. RED sent an unknown number (probably a few hundred) to some of their "premiere" dealers, and B&H was one of them. I think I've heard that most people are expecting to get their Komodo around October 15th. Honestly man, your best bet is to try to join the "Red Komodo Users" group on Facebook, and look to see if anyone is selling theirs. Times have been tough for a lot of people, so some people have had to resort to selling their ST Komodo.

[@ryansulak]

god the footage you take on this is so gorgeous, I want to take it for a travel camera but i feel like it's not quick enough for run and gun, with the black shading, startup times and all that, what has your experience been?

[@Joey_Helms]

Definitely not the fastest cam so you would have to keep it running. Black shading is not required every time you boot it up. Only if temps swing. I shot with it in Iceland and it is certainly built for planned shoots but if you challenge yourself you can run and gun with it like I do.

[@TheDamonLife]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

[@Joey_Helms]

You are more than welcome 🤙

[@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.

[@nox1364]

Today I want to download your footage, I'll try to edit and do something interesting, as I understand you can be canceled on KZbin in the description of the video?)))

[@uberhabib]

Thanks a lot for this great info. Im currently still on canon 80d but have been ready to purchase a black magic pocket 6k for months, but I am very much indecisive. My friend/mentor highly recomended me to get this camera instead, but I am a little hesitant because RED scare me a little. I have barely worked a little with 4k clips and always had a monitor and "run and gun" setup. the Black Magic 6k pocket is 2399 dollars in my country, the RED (with grips, cards, cables and no batteries/monitor) komodo is 9000 dollars. I feel like I need the stepping stone of learning the black magic first, but my friend tries to convince me I will get over the fear and "new" workflow fast, and it will pay off way more. Sorry long comment. As I said - I can be very indecisive :D

[@Joey_Helms]

Glad you like it. The real question for you is why do you need a RED? Are you shooting as a hobby or professionally?

[@uberhabib]

@@Joey_Helms I’m shooting professionally (or really semi professional atm), but I’m trying to get bigger and more gigs. Currently I’ve only filmed some weddings, music videos for small artists, concerts ect mostly with my 80D and sometimes renting black magic Pocket 4k. I feel like I atleast need an upgrade from canon 80D. This is 100% for sure - but I am not certain if a red komodo is the way for me right now (but my friend/mentor highly encouraged me to look into Komodo instead of BMP 6k

I dont think the ISO effects exposure at all. Its more like a lut. It changes the histogram but the actual footage is shot at the same exposure. Much different than say a dslr which changes the sensors sensitivity to light. You can see this if you move iso it dosent change the traffic lights even a little bit.

[@Joey_Helms]

Yep absolutely correct, I reckon it wasn’t clearly communicated in this video.

[@tacsmith]

@@Joey_Helms no issues I figured you knew it.

[@naugarra]

I see that you have a Shogun Inferno. Can you capture PRORES 6K possibly? My quick tests only allowed up to UHD.

[@Joey_Helms]

4K 60 only

veri naice!

Fantastic video dude! I’ve been watching all your stuff to get more information about buying one. I did notice something in this video that I’ve noticed in others which is a weird colour/graphic glitch. 15:48 and 15:51 are the timestamps that I see it at. Is that an issues upon exporting?

[@jlawphoto]

Those glitch is in and around those time stamps

[@Joey_Helms]

Thanks a ton!and yup rendering issue that can happen with weaker machines, heavy edits, and R3Ds

[@pby7675]

I don't have one, but after watching this.. i think i MUST get one..

[@Joey_Helms]

😂😂😂 I am sorry!

[@bentheremedia3011]

Can you make a video showing how you edit your KZbin videos? I'm loving the way you animate the screen recordings and the little visible pixels. Very cool!

[@Joey_Helms]

Thanks a lot! I am really bad at explaining editing but maybe one day 😂

Hm your accent sounds familiar. Like best director Tommy Wiseau. Are you from Louisiana United States?

[@Joey_Helms]

Haha nope, far from it 😂

[@jero.cerezo]

hey, thanks for the video. I have a doubt, with full frame lenses there is a recording mode that does not suffer from the s35 crop. record in 4k?

[@Joey_Helms]

Full frame lenses work no problem on S35. If you want to avoid the 4K crop you get, you will have to shoot in ProRes in order to get the sensor open gate.

[@jero.cerezo]

@@Joey_Helms Nice! thanks for the info, regards Joey!

[@IgorShevchenkoUSA]

Hi and thanks for this awesome video about Kodomo. I am relatively new to cinema cameras but have watched all of your Komodo videos. I am curious how do shoot is this aspect ratio? (anamorphic like) Do you shoot in 6k with a guide on your monitor to frame shots and then crop the top and the bottom in post? Thanks in advance for your help!

[@Joey_Helms]

Hey Igor, thanks a lot and happy to hear you like the videos. So when you see the wider aspect ratio in these videos it is actually because I shot them natively at 17:9 to get more record time. Since I like this aspect ratio in certain situations anyways, saving some memory space has a nice benefit. A few shots in this video were actually shot anamorphic on full sensor readout so I had to desqueeze them in post giving you that wider aspect ratio. In some cases I put letterboxes on to create that effect. Hope this helps.

[@IgorShevchenkoUSA]

@@Joey_Helms thanks a lot! Yep, I was curious if you shot the b-roll and other non-talking footage using anamorphic or just cropping/adding bars. What anamorphic lens did you use ? And the color grading is so good, curious about the LUT as well ;)

[@Joey_Helms]

See the notes on lenses in the top left corner ;)

[@DialloMoore503]

Thanks! Can I move the footage from the card reader directly to an external hard drive?

[@Joey_Helms]

Yep

[@Joey_Helms]

Oh i mean no, you need a laptop in between

Why RED takes song long (almost 30 seconds) to start-up the unit after shut down? unlike SONY F55 start-up in no more than 5 seconds. for instance in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIHReJ-PoNVrfrc when the moment show immediately record after start up the unit.
