Why use Red Komodo for Broadcast? A discussion about using non-traditional broadcast cameras, LIVE!

In this Video, Drake Kelch and Jesse Maitland talk about using the Komodo in Bethels live productions and why you might want to consider it in place of your broadcast cameras.

[@izakiux]

Have you guys tried the canon t3i?

[@DrakeKelch]

Haha that was my First SLR with video

[@izakiux]

[@matthiasmartin1975]

Thank you - that elicited a burst of heartfelt laughter ;-).

[@ETGvloggity]

Hahahah

Love that you’re responding to all the comments. Love the worship broadcasts and productions! Proud to also be using a stormtrooper alongside my Brothers and Sisters at Bethel. :)

[@ShannonChristianChurch]

You guys are inspiration! Our love from Ireland!

[@MsRobstar]

Bethel stunting for Jesus! I love the justification of the Red Komodo’s for broadcast even though it’s harder to use than a traditional broadcast camera! The black magic color issue seems like it would be easier and cheaper to fix by using on the fly color grading. Either way I love the tech flex💪🏾 ❗️ To God be the Glory 🤣‼️

[@ChurchTechTalks]

Love this channel guys. All of us fellow church-techs really appreciate channels like this, it's the same reason I started mine! We forget sometimes that there are others in our community and it's great to have a place to share and grow! To that end, I have a question for you: we film in 24fps with our Ursa's and Pocket Cinema 6k's and it looks great, but our ProPresenter running in 24fps (err "hz") on an iMac had very jittery playback. Have you experienced this? Do I just need a mac with a beefier video card? Know any solutions?

[@FanatikproductionsLLC]

You mentioned the Red Raven as a live stream camera, how was the set up of that camera for the stream? Did you use a live switcher?

[@codynpatterson]

Are you still now 2 years later using these same setups, and are you still using an ursa mini for the follow cam or did you switch that for a komodo? I'm curious if the 24p limitation on the komodo wouldn't be good enough for a follow cam during messages/speaking moments?

[@davidostapuk]

They were still using the URSA broadcast for their follow cam as of ~2 months ago (because they were using a b4 lens), but they were looking to upgrade it to a Raptor

[@jasonmc4guitar]

How do you control iris (shade) during a live show? Do any of your camera ops have return video to reference for compositing shots? Do you use these on wireless shots? I would think wireless and frame sync latencies added to the LED wall processing delay would be really high. My max acceptable for live IMAG is 133ms of total latency.

[@lemuelolivares3726]

This information is GOLD

[@colehughes]

Are you guys working towards making all of your multi cam setups with KOMODO’s or still plan to continue using Blackmagic’s for the most part and mix the KOMODO’s in?

[@michaelsteingard]

Thoughts on using something a simple Tilta Mini Follow Focus? Worth it? Or does your team prefer their hands right on the lens?

[@Andreirrrr]

This is very cool guys! Thank you! Could also maybe show us more of the sound side of things?

[@michaelsteingard]

Production Online has a whole class on Broadcast Audio. It’s incredible.

[@silasbr.]

Type in Luke Hendrickson on KZbin. There are many runs throughs through their Broadcast Setting. Good Stuff!

[@Andreirrrr]

@@silasbr. thanks:)

[@huktek]

Would love to hear your thoughts on your on-camera monitors. So many different options out there! BM5, Video Assist, Atomos etc. There's a slew of new budget options (Feelworld Lut6/7 etc) but mostly just curious what you look for in a camera monitor. How important is the color reproduction? Focus Peaking? Etc.

[@Ecvpepe]

U guys should do a rig run down and link everything so we see how you rig them up ❤️❤️

[@BethelProduction]

about to do that soon!

[@3ikeru]

Why didn't you go with the fx6?

[@BethelProduction]

full frame is fun... but, the price point, our relationship with RED and the workflow with RED and RED RAW is the major reason. We love the look of Red.

[@NhbJunction]

Hey guys! What are your top recommendations for lenses to pair with the red?

[@DrakeKelch]

We usually stay with all Canon L lenses!

[@losangelesdirector]

Do you guys use Extender Module?

[@jonberg2764]

Thanks for the inside. How is the build in stabilisation?

[@DrakeKelch]

There is no built in IS

[@jonberg2764]

@@DrakeKelch i was just wondering because on the website they say stabilisation

[@JeremyMcKnight]

Are you guys getting any delay from different camera brands and if so did you fix it with software or hardware?

[@DrakeKelch]

Komodo’s have 3-4 frames without Genlock and 1 frame with genlock.

[@Willieswheels]

If you’re going towards Komodo best go all Komodo. If they look as drastically different as you’ve shown, it looks like different stages with that colour difference! Will be interest to see how long you stick with them, keep us updated

[@DrakeKelch]

We still use Komodo and Ursa together. We aren’t planning on switching away from Red!

[@Willieswheels]

@@DrakeKelch even with the big colour differences you showed? Or working on grading to match?

[@mikehines14]

Can you make a custom lut in the Komodo like you can with the Ursa?

[@nicktresko7815]

Do you guys alternate between different shutter speeds/angles depending on the intensity of the moment? I assume you typically are at 1/50 for a majority of the service but it seems like there are some spots where motion is a lot quicker.

[@DrakeKelch]

We are always at 144

[@nicktresko7815]

I read that again and realized you were referring to shutter angle, so that would mean you always shoot at 1/60 shutter speed.

[@DrakeKelch]

@@nicktresko7815 Yes. Because of our LED

[@jasonmc4guitar]

FYI, magenta is the color that looks "pink" ;-) Usually, it looks blue when the color temp of the key lights is lower. If you run a higher key light temp, like 5600K, the magenta tends to look more magenta-like on video because the light source producing the magenta has a higher native temp like 5600K or 6500K.

[@May9ninth]

Why do I continue to see people that have the camera say that the screen is a problem , when their is a entire app that comes with the camera and you could use your phone for view and playback, ect Even focusing??? 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

[@iamaaronlong]

How are you guys matching camera colour and making all the cameras look similar (an overall grade) if you aren't using CCU? All in camera?

[@silasbr.]

Yes, would be very interesting :) Thanks in advance

[@briannicepianoworship8944]

Let’s just go buy 3 red cameras for $18,000 👍🏻😁. BaLLIN🏀 !

[@BethelProduction]

sounds good to me. :-). We purchased ours because our URSA 4.6k cameras are very old and very used and starting to break. So, it wasnt a choice for us. Komodos are same price as a new URSA :-)

[@ЕкатеринаКайзер-ж8ю]

👍👍👍
