My BEASTY Camera Setup 2018! RED HELIUM 8K

[@TheBuffNerds]

My latest camera build and setup for all my TV Shows, music videos, commercials, films and more!

[@osmanarslan6364]

If you were to get a camera now what would you get? Is it still a good time to spend money on Helium or Gemini or you would wait for Komodo? Of course if we don't consider the pandemic. I am sure prices will go even lower if the pandemic lasts longer which I think it will. I am asking because even though I got a loan from SBA as I am a freelance DP and colorist, I think I will wait a bit before spending money to anything. I see great deals on Helium packages but I am scared to pull the trigger for now. What if productions never pick up again or Red makes a new camera makes the Helium outdated. Probably not since it is 8K but still would like to hear your opinion. Thank you.

Also you live in Arizona, but work internationally. You have an amazing reel. Do you also have an agent? How do people find you from Arizona? Well with the popularity you have it shouldn't be hard to find you but just wondering how do you manage living in Arizona and working all around. I live in New York but thinking of moving to Vermont. Base myself in Vermont and market to New York.

Hey Jakob, I’m in Edmonton, Canada. I’m buying this exact setup, the 8K Helium, but do you reallly regret it? Should I buy the Gemini instead?

[@noahjoseph5714]

Not me watching RED camera reviews like I’m going to buy it when I’m still making payments on my BestBuy credit card for a $400 Panasonic G7 😂

[@controversenyc]

Been going back and forth on this. Gemini it is!

[@nexttvc]

Hi, I have a question about the Life Cycle of RED Helium 8K. Nowadays, a lot of used cameras are on Ebay for very reasonable prices, but I didn't find the end life of RED Cameras. How many hours on the camera meter is good, and what is the max it can go before it's dead?

[@Mustafa1410h]

Can you make a video about travel with Camera gear and how to deal with airlines and their laws

[@henkechristoph]

4:57 Nice overlays ;D

[@davidbarragan1227]

8:23 next red camera title haha THE ALIEN 8K

[@Plat84Genuine7]

thanks jacob owens, i really love your work, u have inspired me towards my passion now

[@airfilm_it]

i'm a scarlet-w owner, now it's time to upgrade and i need to choose between Gemini and Helium, what do you think?

[@CalThomson]

I've been considering the Gemini as a step up from my FS7 for months now. I'd still keep the FS7 I think but the Gemini seems the perfect fit for higher end projects

[@Darkstormcinema]

Great video! I’ve been going nuts trying to decide on helium or Gemini...I think you just helped me decide!

[@joshmillerdp]

Love the setup! Ive been running a similar rig but with the scarlet-w. Bruh...that shiz gets heavy after a few hours of hand held!!! Gotzta eat more protein! haha Only question I have is do you use any of the OLPF's?

[@ostwaltmediae.u.8250]

That's a great setup! Do you have a second office or desk? Why aren't you recording in front of your new editing setup?

[@TheBuffNerds]

Yea thats my place in LA. My place in AZ is my main office/setup

[@ostwaltmediae.u.8250]

oh. didn't know that you are living in LA too@@TheBuffNerds

[@zachmiller1997]

Love these informative videos! Would love to see you do an anamorphic workshop on how to shoot and edit with anamorphic lenses!

[@TheBuffNerds]

AIMES Visuals/Revolving Productions that’d be cool

[@NickSavino]

Did I miss when the editing and color grading contest winners are announced?? Was looking for them and haven’t seen or heard a thing, just curious!

[@TheBuffNerds]

editing winners will be announced on here soon. they were announced on IG and no coloring contest isn't over yet.

[@iEditProjects]

S/o to Wooden Camera 💪🏾 Dope post

[@EmmaandGuillaume]

Thanks for that Jakob! I've been looking into a RED and you provided me so many tips and tricks. What do you think of the new RED Dragon X? The price difference with the Gemini is basically my budget for the 7inch screen instead of the smaller one and a couple mini mags..

[@dragonstone6594]

You should do a giveaway of that 8K camera if you don't want it anymore ;) btw you should check out the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K. It has dual ISO, that shoots clean footage at ISO 3200, shoots RAW at 60fps and it's only 1300$.

[@TheBuffNerds]

Dragonstone lol 😂

[@joharinichols2652]

Enjoyed the video. Are you saying that the 8-k is not good in low-light situations, or are you saying that the Gemini is just better?

[@MagnanimousMediaChicago]

Love that Helium, low-light on that Gemini tho.

[@kennieorsted]

Thanks for the video - I’m thinking of selling my Canon C300 MK2 and getting a RED helium - but maybe I should go with a Gemini!? Is the 4K image any different from one to the other?

[@nicostrappazon]

You should do a video about filming outdoors with cinema cameras with fans. Especially in dusty places I always stress over bringing out the cinema cameras. What are some of your tips for keeping a camera safe in rough outdoor conditions??

[@TheBuffNerds]

forsure!

[@Supdoode]

3:26 “make hand great again”..... *closes video*

[@OB_shredder]

Recommend any specific gear insurance? Especially if we were to buy a Red?

[@dm.b7560]

Hi @BuffNerds What is your 8k workflow? just curious, cos you have an iMac right?do you usually shoot in lower resolutions? how about the crop factor? or you edit in pro res? and re link after? What you think about the texture and colour in between Helium & Gemini? can you feel the difference? Thanks!

[@patrick4912]

Nice setup. Ya use easy rig much?

[@TheBuffNerds]

Patrick every once in awhile

[@lawrenceatienza]

That is a monster of a camera!

[@TheBuffNerds]

yup!!!

[@PresidentialFilm]

Welcome to the 8k party! I'd be careful with the WC toplate, there's been plenty of them shorting out the boards on red cameras. Also regarding the Helium v. Gemini-even the Helium beats your previous Dragon in low light. And I though I didn't want or need 8k until I had a bunch of Alexa and 4k projects and in post you are so spoiled with the extra 4x resolution that an 8k sensor gives.

[@TheBuffNerds]

Chris Kennedy interesting haven’t heard about that

[@mdevo77]

Chris Kennedy Will end up costing way more Than $500 to fix

[@vernongreen7008]

What program do you use to do your music videos?

[@engridmedia]

Have you ever tried blackmagic ?

[@TheBuffNerds]

Engrid Media no

[@david.abroche]

Hey @TheBuffNerds I'm looking to get a set of Canon Cn-e lenses and I saw you used those in your projects before. Just wanted to know your opinion about them?(build-quality / ease of use etc) And if you'd recommend them for like an allrounder commercial lens? :) Greetings from Switzerland!

[@MonsterCam]

I have red scarlet-w with dragon sensor but i feel i need to upgrade to gemini. Great video Jakob! 💪🏻

[@sanakchandra]

Hey can you make a video comparison of sony A1 8k footage and the red 8k footage. (not sure which red camera model has it) I am curious to see how they both compare and is the sony 8k really that good or its just a marketing gimmick.

Have you thought about buying a backup camera if yours fails someday during an important shoot?

[@TheBuffNerds]

Der Lufi no never have haha

[@iGuuude]

@@TheBuffNerds but how would you handle a hardware failure in then?

I'm more of an amateur filmmaker and I need autofocus because a lot of things I shoot there's only me. Is there any addon you can get for RED cameras that can do autofocus?
