In this video, we will be testing the RED Komodo 6k camera. Additionally, in this scene, we aim to create cinematic lighting setups using the ACE 650 and ARRI 1200 HMI light sources.
The RED Komodo is a compact and lightweight camera known for its impressive dynamic range. However, there is one issue we encountered... noise when using a dark key light setup.

Perfect example of how lighting and set dec are king over camera.

[@brgphotography]

Exactly. I bet you could stick any decent camera (GH5, BMPC4k, A7III) in this scene, and expose it for that camera's range, and it would look just as good.

[@kolecava]

One of the reasons this is one of the, if not, the top "filmmaking" channel. Andbery is a boss!

[@jv8studios]

Very true! Is the Gh5 still a good camera to buy for filmmaking?

[@kolecava]

@@jv8studios it's a camera that offers a lot but I wouldn't get it. The AF is poor and IS while good is pointless. Depends on your budget, it's more of a run and gun videographer camera like the A7 series from Sony. I would get the P4K, cage rig, t5 for storage and a vmount then rest invest into a basic lighting kit, light stands, diffusion, neg, bounce and light stands. With vintage lenses or sigma 18-35 you can make some great things 😉 All subjective on how and what you are shooting.

[@jv8studios]

@@kolecava sounds good ! At the moment I have the EOS RP but I’m looking for something to raise the quality of my filmmaking . I’m looking into the equipment you suggested. That black magic looks epic !

[@zachcooper4984]

I love how this video you also included the fact of lighting & set design to really make this a beautiful piece it's not just the camera. I think that's incredibly overlooked and not always talked about.

If you put this in your description, it will create chapters on your video timeline ;) great video!

[@joncubid136]

Was thinking while watching the scene that this could be done with many cameras. So glad you explained it was more about the lighting and set design less about the camera. People overvalue and hype new tech all day long without thinking about light, set, actors and directing. Nice work!

[@vonjuan5549]

True, and always will be!

Wow Andbery. You clearly got it so when it cameras it doesn't phase you. Still though, the only camera I care about upgrading to is the BMPCC4K and I'll be just fine.

[@eerundistt]

Как всегда - лучший а своем деле

[@GlennHanns]

I always try to place my room tone around 3 stops down from exposure so that there is something before complete darkness, some definition particularly in dark panelled rooms before dropping into the abyss can save a shot. You can always take it out, adding it is ugly.

[@FirozAhmad-wt1dh]

Beautiful capture.

[@pollloxxx]

The same thing happened to me in a short film, I wanted the scene a bit low key, and on camera it looked very good, but then in post I noticed a lot of loss of information at the bottom. it was also with a RED camera but the old SCARLETT MX

[@rprbeck]

Soooo good!

Ur Amazing cinematography bro

[@IsraelAgyemanPrempeh]

You were already killing it with the blackmagic, the Komodo will be next level

[@audunystgaard]

Tbh the difference between the cameras are negligible.

[@ANDBERY]

I think that the BMPCC 4k almost no different in the image quality from RED Komodo. In the dark key the BMPCC with iso 1250 looks even better and cleanly.

[@IsraelAgyemanPrempeh]

@@ANDBERY good to know when I am getting cinecamera

[@bartsimpson2131]

@@ANDBERY Amazing video and lighting Andbery, as what we've come to expect from you! KZbin doesn't do these videos justice. Have you had a chance to use the BMPCC 6k? I have a 4k, and was wondering whether it's worth the upgrade.. I've heard people say that the highlight rolloff is better on the 6k, and that it has more dynamic range and better lowlight. Also that the colors are "more" accurate. If you've used them both, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the whether these differences are noticeable. Thank you for your time, take care buddy!

[@ANDBERY]

@@bartsimpson2131 Hey, take the 6k version, it's much better.

[@onebreathonestory]

Thank you for this video! You finally answered my eternal question, if it was just the camera who makes the cinematic style! Thank you for the goods tips of your tuto!

[@kenbrisby4825]

very good reminder on over lighting. i always forget when on set :r

[@Z97FILMES]

Amazing!

[@alchemymagick]

Thank you! I’d love to try the Komodo sometime. I love the cinematic look of the BMPCC4K. However, when I tried out the Canon C70, I felt it’s image out of camera was a bit video-like, not as filmic as the BMPCC4K. Am wondering why do you think that is? The C70 is a great camera and I’m sure you can achieve great results with good lighting and lenses as you mentioned. However I’m confused why the BMPCc4K’s image looks more cinematic to me than the more expensive C70? Any advice or input?

[@ThirdEyeVisuals]

Just proves that it's how you light a scene and not the camera for the most part. The BMPCC footage is on par if not better than the Komodo in cases. Thanks for the videos!

[@apmanti12]

bro if you know how to light and color in post i can make even a phone look cinematic

[@B7RAIN_STUDIOS]

nah i don't think. It dosen't look better maybe close but komodo is much better.

[@ThirdEyeVisuals]

@@B7RAIN_STUDIOS "close but much better" ... yea that isn't contradictory.

Komodo is leads better than a BMPCC. Reason you see RED and ARRIs on set not black magic

Спасибо за видео! Очень познавательно. Скажите, пожалуйста, что делать, если надо осветить хор в 30 человек, а из оборудования только пара Godox SL-150W с софтбоксами и пара светодиодных панелей? Есть ли шансы? Или если что-то докупить из бюджетных тех же Godox, то можно решить задачу? Вообще очень мало видео про освещение больших групп людей. Если вы вы сняли что-то подобное, было бы круто!!!

[@bafeink2]

can we get a single light source setups with a bounce? please

[@solomoncisneros1216]

Awesome tutorial as ever. Some tips to make it easier for people like me to get a better idea of the setup is maybe a really wide shot of the setup, kind of like how aperture does their tutorials. The other thing is for each light setup, maybe in the description of the video, list out the lights and the quantities of lights you used. This would be so helpful!

[@ANDBERY]

I had a mate who was the last of our group to turn to film back in 2010 (from music), his rich in-laws bought him all the latests reds and cookes, while we were paying for own 5Ds and Sigma photography lenses. He would always boast about his new Cookies, cookies this and cookies that. Rich family, no brains. And English was his native tongue, lol.

[@TJIzzy]

Very good video! Make sure you use full res premium in post production. It is expected that a cine cam like this, will be using a little noise reduction in a darker scene.

[@ANDBERY]

Thank you for advice!

[@YugiohRLDSWebSeries]

You are really the master of lightning in KZbin cinematography. tbh comparing these videos to your prevoius BMPCK4K ones, If I had the budget I would choose the Blackmagic set over the Komodo and spend the extra money on lights. However what I like the most, that you always go with these historic scenes and costumes! Do you borrow them from theaters or what is your method getting the robes?

[@ANDBERY]

Thank you! I rent these on Film studios.

[@seantomshi]

I heard that there is a monitor that can control komodo wirelessly. It seems to be specially made for komodo. Does anyone know? Its brand seems to be called PORTKEYS, and its model seems to be BM5 WR. If you have used it, please tell me, how does it feel to use it with komodo? I want to buy one and try it recently, thank you!

[@kinopohod]

Андрюха респект))) Мощно конечно шумит red без большого количества света, но reduse noise вроде неплохо справился

[@ANDBERY]

Спасибо) Видимо если бы Komodo не шумела, у RED corp получился бы еще один Gemini. NR отлично сгладил косяки.

[@erlik.agzhanov]

По моему весь Ред так шумит. Радует что можно в NR исправить без проблем.

Stunning look. Do you have the experience with other RED cameras - same noise issues? I believe that is why it is entry level cinematic camera.. But shockingly great image quality, amazing!

[@ANDBERY]

Thank you! I worked with Red Scarlet and Gemini. Working with Gemini was cool, I loved the result. Clean image and no noise.

[@Exploredinary]

Love this video thank you - was the noise in shadows you mention due to under exposure? The log footage looks a bit dark, either way I’m sad to see noise at such a low iso, as this is the camera I want to move to next. Neat Video should be able to clean it up nicely

[@ANDBERY]

This noise is more my fault than the camera's. I underexposed this scene.

[@Exploredinary]

ANDBERY beautiful work, and I appreciate the time you spent lighting the scenes. Good to know the camera can do good at higher isos if exposed a certain way
