Red Komodo 6K x Canon FDs - West Fjord's
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 жов 2024
- Just a collection of clips from our drive to the West Fjord from Reykjavik.
All shot in 6K 2.40 50fps with the Metabones 0.71x EF-RF adapter. You can get a good sense of the funky Vignette and edge distortion on the wider lenses in the set. Id say 90% of this is shot wide open ISO at shooting was always 500iso and sometimes adjusted in post.
Lenses Used:
NFD 20mm 2.8
NFD 28mm 2.0
NFD 35mm 2.0
NFD 50mm 1.4
Filters:
Tiffen .3, .6, .9, 1.2, IRND 1.8 and 2.1
Graded and conformed to cineon log to apply Resolves Kodak 2383 Look.
Standard Noise Reduction applied in Davinci to clips that I felt needed it.
So much character. Blows digital lenses out of the water.
this is some of the best footage of komodo ive seen on youtube well done!
slomo always looks better but unfortunately feature films have dialogue
Beautiful color grading
Congratulations. Beautiful Frame.
why do reds cameras only shoot in slomo
Stunning footage and grade.
Beautiful! I absolutely loved the score.
Beautiful footage, lovely grade.
FD's hard converted to EF. Plus a speedbooster. That is the dream. Looks great!
Rarely do I see Komodo footage that looks this good. Fantastic work!
A thing of beauty
This is wonderful! Many thanks. Please make more videos with using FDs.
Simply gorgeous footage… But I wish I could download one or two of the clips so I could see it in full resolution. Any possibility?
This whole thing is a mood. Loved it.
love the fd's what adapters are you using to get them adapted to the rf mount ?
Hi, Looks amazing, And any chance to have comparisons on FD / K35 and + or other cine lens? Feels kinda over advertised with FD lens these days?
Absolutely stunning, looking forward to upgrading to this camera in the next few months!
Stunning and surreal. The church tilt reveal was amazing. Subbed.
Thanks so much! The church is the Budir black church. It’s as surreal if not more in person :) we got very lucky that some rain had just passed and the sky was a mix of warm golden tones and deep dark clouds.
@@filmbandit6664 it was some amazing light indeed. Nice captures and lovely editing.
Beautiful work!
Splendidly stunning!
would love to see behind the scenes or the grading process . Nice footage.
This is absolutely breathtaking! Well done! I’d love to see more
Thank you so much Nick!
You used the FDs beautifully here! Please make more FD content. No one else on YT has been able to showcase them quite like this and I’m here for it!
Very nice. I love the FDs on the Komodo
Wow, amazing footage. Great job.
Really stunning footage. It’s really mystic. Very well captured. It was a pleasure to watch.
Looks so amazing! Keep up the great work!
Absolutely beautiful!
Just stunning!!
Simply amazing bro
Gil, thank you so much!
Some seriously stunning footage. Absolutely loved it.
incredibly beautiful
Stunning.
Thank you!!
Excellent. What did you use to stabilize the hand held shots? Those were really clean
stunning!
Very nice man. FD's for the win 👍
At last some quality Komodo. Thanks so much. Wondering what quality you shot on MQ? Did you add any sharpening? Thanks so much.
beautiful!!!
This looks amazing Great job
Really nice. So do these FDs actually work stacking adapters (FD>EF then EF>RF via .71)?
You have to modify the lens mount itself to EF. You can find everything you’d need at Simmod lens.
Ah, thanks. Won’t be doing that as I actually use them to shoot film too
@@RuskinKyle you can get a straight FD to RF adapter from Metabones! I feel you on not modifying them. I’ve had this set for over 10 years with my F-1 but ultimately decided to swap the mounts. It is reversible if you’re comfortable with lens assembly. I had cleaned the internal optics on these so know the way the mounts went together.
Thanks. The problem with using them ‘straight’ on a S35 camera (I have the C70) is my 28mm will not be that wide. The super wides are really hard to find and mega bucks!
@@RuskinKyle they do make the 0.71 version. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1682915-REG/metabones_mbspfd_efr_bm1_canon_fd_fl_to_canon.html/?ap=y&gbraid=0AAAAAD7yMh16AftTY__Y2g6gInMJk4HSL&gclid=CjwKCAjw682TBhATEiwA9crl32BB3FTbgWyQRH6eVTFZs7VF9fM7lU9nn5Zu8tYNKYks_T25-FYsmhoCsXoQAvD_BwE&lsft=BI%3A6879&smp=y it’s pretty new!
nice best komodo footage
How do you mount the FDs to the EF-RF adapter? Did you use an FD-EF on top of the EF-RF metabones?
I converted the FD mount on the lens to EF with mounts from Simmod Lens.
This looked excellent! Very cinematic and the colors and the look that the FD lenses gave you are great.
Beautiful
Impressive. Did you keep the native Komodo aspect ratio?
Thanks! I shot 2.40:1 on the Komodo.
very nice
How you can put the NFD lenses on the EF-RF adapter?
nice colors
Cameras are all so close now a days that it does not matter. What matters is the form factor/features attached to the sensor that best helps you do a job. What kind of job are you doing determines the camera. But all of them look close enough to not matter.
gorgeous
Love the color grade.
how did you adapt the lenses? i have set of FD lenses and a RF2EF canon adapter for my Komodo. But i was always under the impression that FD2EF would need a adapter with optical elements that degrades the image heavily?
Hey Dominik! I swapped the mounts on the lenses from FD to EF with mounts from Simmod. You can find everything you’d need there. I have owned my FD set for years, originally purchased for my Canon F-1 Body for 35mm stills. You can get a FD-RF adapter though which might be easiest for you if you don’t want to change the FD lenses mount. I changed the lenses to EF so I could use a 0.71 focal reducer
@@filmbandit6664thanks for the reply! but even with modded mount, I'd have issues with the canon reducer right? not sure if it's worth the hassle to mod all lenses AND get another reducer...
Wanted to know how did u adapt FD's to a speedboster cause when I try to do it I lose focus ... Do tell us the process would be very helpful
Could you explain? Are you just not able to reach infinity?
that was really beautiful
Amazing work!!!
Wow! Love the image. Your grading is so tasteful. Nailed the time of day too. That cloud coverage and lighting is gorgeous. Any tips?
Also the handheld footage is really smooth. Are you using an easy rig or any other stabilisation to help or is that 100% fine motor skills?
Fantastic. Well done!
Truly Epic
Beautifull 👍👍👍
Man the FDs are fantastic.
Beautiful man !!
Beautiful imagery here mate!
Gorgeous!
Very nice, but I'm not sure how much this has to do with the FD lenses.
It could have been any lens :)
Can I use Canon original 0.71x adapter with these lenses?
Sadly, no. The rear element will hit the element in the Canon 0.71x adapter. The Metabones version will work if you loosen the set screw and rotate the adapters element yo give a few more millimeters of clearance.
@@filmbandit6664 Thank you. Sadly I have to pass these lenses cuz I probably won't buy another adapter. Nice film man！
MAN! This is beautiful work! You're definitely talented 🙌 I just learned about Canon FD and picked up a few myself for my Komodo. I have the 50mm 1.4 and 100mm 2.8 and picking up the silver nose 28mm 2.8, 50mm 1.4 as well the fdn 135mm 2.8 and a 100-300mm.
I have 2 questions if you could help a brother out lol. Are these lenses I'm talking about very different from the f/2.0? I see everyone having that aperture whether on the 20mm or 24mm.
2nd is I know that you can get the mount to go on the Komodo, is it a pain and how do you change the focus wheel?
Any feedback would be appreciated! 🙏
Thank you!! As far as the different in image or quality from the 2.0 to 2.8 I cant say much. I own both a 28mm F2 and 28mm 2.8 and personally the image out of the 2.0 is nicer, it could be down to the individual lens though. If you are just starting to shoot with these lenses its totally fine to grab some of the cheaper models since they the price gap can be massive. With all Vintage still glass you will see radical differences between the same models of lenses. For example Ive had four 35mm F2’s. All have been very very different. I finally found one with the image I like that matched the other lenses in the set.
Modding the lenses is not difficult for technical folks but if you are not comfortable dealing with small parts and potential stripped screws Id recommend just getting an FD-RF adapter from Metabones and leaving the mount.
@@filmbandit6664 thank you for the info! Hopefully the ones I purchased were beautifully made 🤣🙏 anyways I subscribed to your channel and look forward to more of your work.
Hey I'm sorry. One last question. So you have the fd mount to ef on the lens and then connected that to the Metabones 0.71x EF-RF adapter?
@@blendzmedia the lenses are converted to EF mount using mounts from Simmod Lens. Its a physical conversion of the mount not an adapter
@@filmbandit6664 thank you! I scrolled down a few comments and seen you had answered someone with the same question lol I'm trying to figure a way to test the lenses I'm getting before making that investment. I'd hate to have a $450 speedbooster specific to some versions of the lenses that aren't worthy of it 😕 I can test on my a7iii because I do have a mount for that but don't think that would be the true test of lens quality
Now I’m crying.
Beautiful stuff, wonderful color grade. The FDs seem to be an even better pairing for the Komodo than Leica-R’s.
How on earth do people learn to color grade so well? I watch tutorials but nothing quite gets me there
Hey Kaz! Thanks for thinking it looks good!! Ive been a full time Cinematographer for 13 years and did not really learn Grading till 2020. I did it mainly while home for the pandemic. That was only the technical part, operating Resolve. The Image starts with exposure and using the sensor to capture the Dynamic range Ill need to make the image I want to end with. My best advice is to see the images you want to create and take note of the tones in those images. So much of the really great footage out there comes down to set design and lighting! The grade just pushes and refines that image. Sure the grade can shift colors but its not going to change the walls of a set if they are wrong for the pallet of the project.
This footage looks cool because Iceland is cool! Its beautifully aesthetic and the tones are unimaginable. I just took what I saw, compared it to what the camera captured and tried to recreate the feelings I felt. Most of this is just contrast and Highlight/Shadow adjustments.
Wow 😯 amazing
Wow amazing!!!!!!!
This looks amazing! I have a Komodo and FDs and would love to learn more about how you colored this
In Resolve I used color space transform to convert from RWG Log3g10 to Cineon Film Log. I then used the built in Kodak Emulation LUTs from there. All the Exposure and color balancing as well as secondary’s were done in nodes before that.
@@filmbandit6664 thanks for the info! I have a DIT tha helps me a ton with color but I really need to spend more time learning. Ive been coloring in Premiere for so long I think I'm limiting myself. I love my FDs but I'm not always happy with the color but after seeing the content you shared here I'm inspired to deep dive.
@@filmbandit6664 This is great to know. I also have a Komodo and a set of FDs, and have played with the color space transform as you suggested. It's punchy with those Kodak LUTs (in film looks dropdown, correct?) but getting the right colour balance is quite tricky. Everything is very blue crushed in the blacks and the saturation and hue need shifting. You've got a beautiful balance here, I was just wondering if you had a tutorial or any further tips on how best to use this. Thanks so much!
immersive
You just pushed me over the edge to buy a Komodo…
Wow.
Woha.
Nice things in front of the camera.
I think you overdid the noise reduction a touch, on a large monitor when things move, it feels like the footage get's blurry - the shots are dope though
I appreciate it! I totally agree. I haven’t used NR much before but since a lot of this was under exposed intentionally I was hoping it would help keep the mids cleaner. Still getting used to how Resolves NR functions work and their side effects.
@@filmbandit6664 course! I think the Komodo has some pretty nice noise patters, so even if you don't nr it feels a touch like grain rather than noise - on UA-cam that won't be visible as yt does its own NR anyways
f lovely
Stunning! I forgot to study the footage and instead started missing Iceland
looks like one of the maps out of hitman2/3 lol
tired of fjords and test footages...
