Thanks for watching friends! Do you like POV style videos where we go out in the field? Let me know down in the comments!
your footage made me buy the Komodo and the 50mm lens today !!! this was truly cinematic like a Arrie shot, never seen that with any Komodo footage except yours. The train shot felt like a scene from Dark Night Rise!
Happy you enjoy the content :) have fun shooting with that combo!
Hi Joey, what a great video!
What I liked most is your personal friendly attitude with other individuals, regardless of their status or situation. And it comes back and makes its way into your footage.
Second, I enjoyed the grading before-after shown in your clips.
Third, great footage, indeed. And what an exciting location to shoot.
Fourth, seing you fighting with the weight of the setup, the focus, and finding the right angle gives me some relief - I am not alone with these challenges.
I received my Sirui 50mm T2.9 for my Lumix S1H just last week, and despite no time for really testing it outside my home I am more than impressed.
If focus pulled correctly it is tack-sharp from corner to corner which can easily blurred out in post. And flares seem to be well controlled now.
Since my Weebill S is too small for the dimensions of the combo I tried out a different way:
I reduced the rig to camera, lens, cage, top handle, side hand strap, smal monitor.
And since a few days I am practicing for about 10 mins every day for manually pulling focus and keeping the camera horozintally straight - and, I am getting better and better every day.
Happy to hear you enjoyed this video! and you are doing the right thing, train every day, try out different scenarios and with time you get the hang on it and build muscle (memory)
Amazing work as usual Joey! thank you for sharing this with us. This lens is sick. Will definitely be picking it up.
Great Video Joey 😊 also the POV perspective was awesome 😎
Thanks Paula!!!
full of beautiful and positive shots .... gj buddy 👍💪
Thank you so much 😀
Absolutely refreshing content. Love it!!!!. Clips were just amazing.
Glad you like it! More coming
Loved your energy, buddy. Great work also!
Glad you enjoyed it! :) More coming today!
Love this style, Joey! I just wish they'd come out with an EF version of the lens...
Thanks :) and yeah that won’t happen due to flange distance limitations on EF. :(
@@Joey_Helms For sure, they'd need to design a new lens from scratch. But IMO that'd be a worthwhile investment on their end, because so many filmmakers still use EF/PL cameras.
YES EF
Also love this video..
Brooo that train shot was insane woooow
Thanks!
Beautiful footage. No trouble out of the portkeys?? Do you prefer it rather than the small Hd?
Cheers! And yes I do.
Love this Joey, Thanks for sharing.
I’m inspired. You will never get beautiful sunrise shots if your in bed dreaming about them. Get after it!!!
Well said Scottie
Can you do a video of how you got your komodo with and sirui 50mm balanced? I have been braking my head trying to do so.
This was amazing.
Thanks so much 🙌
Fantastic work! How’s this lens when shooting at 4K @ 60fps? I assume that’ll affect the overall look of the anamorphic due to the crop? Thanks!
I have not shot in 4K 60 since that format does not have an anamorphic mode on the Komodo (6K only). Surely you can still shoot that way but there is no native interpretation of the footage on the device and the sensor read out would be 16:9 which will give you a much wider FOV after destretching. So net net the crop should be more than the usual 6K to 4K crop.
@@Joey_Helms thank you for the reply and information!
@@Joey_Helms Would be great to show your desqueezing process and proper Komodo setup to get the proper anamorphic look out of this lens. I've only tested one of the Vazen 1.8x lenses on the Komodo but I think I had the wrong aspect ratio 6k preset. There is a 3:2 and a 5:4 preset, right? Do you know how to find out which one you need to use based on the lens?
can you do your grading process to this video im curious because the images look amazing.
Check out my previous upload there I am touching on my overall process. Also the general steps are highlighted on each shot in this video.
@@Joey_Helms i will definitely check it out now. thank you
Loved the video Joey! The triple camera setup is pretty badass and a great concept for vlogging while also capturing nice footage with the Komodo. I'm planning on renting this lens soon too. Would love to get more of your thoughts on it and how it was flying it on the gimbal. Maybe even a mini tutorial on how you pull focus using the Ronin follow focus while moving? This is something that has always been a struggle for me, whether on a gimbal or not, being able to manually pull focus while either yourself or your subject is moving or both at the same time. Tips on spatial awareness would be great too, like how you can be more certain that you maintain the same distance from your subject while moving so you don't have to make changes to your focus.
It was flying surprisingly well on the RS2... even without counterweights. I may gonna do another video like this one and can share some thoughts on focus pulling. at the end it is trying trying trying and multitasking
@@Joey_Helms That would be awesome, would love to see your focus pulling techniques in action and how you set up the Komodo and RS2 for as many situations as possible!
Interesting how the VND changes the blue filters to green. Kinda dig it. You dont see green filters very often at all.
I also noticed that the diminished flares from having the light off to the right or left really flatter whatever subject you’re shooting. I think the flares are a little too gnarly but I wonder if that can be mitigated with a filter. Does that filter exist? Or is that just a matte box haha
Matte box should help with side light, but what I will try next is how it looks with a black mist filter.
Hi Joey. Thank you for posting this. I shoot a lot with my Komodo, so this is helpful. Anamorphic is is kind of cool, but the beautiful round flares I get with my spherical lenses look so much better to me. Purely subjective, I know.
Cheers 🙌 thanks for sharing.
I have another buddy that does UA-cam running stuff in Chicago if you ever want to collab or do a subject along the waterfront. Loved this style of video. Just go out and shoot video. So good 🙌
Glad you enjoy it! :) I will likely do more of these videos. They are fun to make!
Firstly, WOW, you are making that lens sing!
I’m extremely curious about the softness of the Sirui shots, particularly because I own this combination; but find the Sirui way too detailed for my taste… it feels every bit as sharp as a modern photo lens. Even after cropping in to achieve a 16:9 image.
I’ve tried a few techniques, to take the edge off… blur in Davinci Resolve, Dehancer Pro and had all but given up on the Sirui. Could you please explain what you are doing to dial back the critical sharpness of the Sirui lens?
Once again great work!
Thanks a lot! I am actually not cropping but shooting in the 6K anamorphic mode on the Komodo and honestly there are no tricks I am using to get the sharpness off. I wanna try a black pro mist filter on it though! Next time, I may try the 75mm
@@Joey_Helms doesn't the 6k turn this into a 8k image in post? How did you export it out to 4k and use the aspect ratio you did?
Earned a subscribe. Great content and overall a great video, watched the full one. Thank you!
Much appreciated and welcome on board, stoked to have you! 🙌
Great video!! thank you very much... What format did you use in the Komodo? 6k 3:2 1.6x? Or another one? Or how was you process of desqueeze???
Joey, what is the point of the Red colours if you convert to Alexa Log C? Looks fire, but I am wondering, why you don´t use the normal Red luts from the website.
I really loved this video. I just bought the lens myself, how do you go about managing the manual focus on it when on a gimbal?
Great shots Joey! Can you do a video showing setup and balancing?
I have dedicated video around the RS2 on my channel. Doesn’t show the balancing but more around the set up.
Fantastic video!
Did you purchase the lens with the neutral flare, or blue flare?
Thanks :) This one is the one with blue flares.
Wow, Joey, love this, super smooth pics! Would you recommend the 50mm T2.9 1.6x to start experimenting with Sirui anamorphic? What about the 50mm f1.8 1.33x version?
love it!
Great Footage! I have the same monitor and I was wondering how do you calibrate the color? thanks!
Hey that is beautiful. Could you tell me what is the iPhone app that you use for the sun ?
Thanks! and its called SUN'S PATH
What project settings do you use and do you post de squeeze or allow the komodo to automatically de squeeze in camera?
definitely more from this kind of videos (1, 2 Feuerwehr ) greetz from Germany!
:) Okie dokes
Also: How heavy is that gimbal?
I liked the coloring of the video Do you have a video explaining how I color this video please I will be grateful to you
Yes, check my channel. ;)
superb
Are there any plans for a 24mm or 35mm FF from Sirui?
Hello, may I see the stages of coloring and framing for this video please
I found all the packets in the description box, thank you, but can you tell me what I need to be able to mount the lens on the camera Also I need to know how you color the video please
did you use any post stabilization?
In some shots, yes. But thanks to the global shutter you get much less wabble artifacts (only motion blur artifacts)
i'm doing a lot of electronic festivals, was just thinking about swapping over and finally upgrading for the komodo. i basically had to parkour stage structures last week in Miami so how is the weight on the rs2? i'm gonna be running and jumping a lot for shots so it can't possibly weigh much more than i'm already throwing around.
It would certainly take a lot to parkour with this set up, but if you are trained it should be in theory possible. This said a lighter set up may be better :D
@@Joey_Helms can't be much bigger than what I'm already running with the atomos and gimbal etc. i want that global shutter
this video has way too few views lol, damn good quality content!
Second time I watching this video! So the best period to catch this sunlight symmetry are the October last days ?
Around September 22nd
@@Joey_Helms great 👍 thank you 😊
Thanks for sharing
So were you shooting at 4:3 aspect ratio ?
Yep! :)
wow, the video is great
Thanks!!!
Saw the "J" on the Komodo screen, I'm glad I'm not the only idiot that makes it his first initial.
😂😂😂
Also, I wish you would write me all the tools you used to take this shot. I want to buy all the equipment you used from the camera, filter, batteries and monitor. And the camera settings and did you use Auto Focus?
No autofocus. All manual. Links to the products are in the description :)
Thanks you for this video shots please I want to ask you how you How did you guess the appropriate exposure did you use the exposure meter?
I recommend checking out my other Komodo tutorials there i talk about exposing right.
Witch appli do you use for knows about sunset time?
it's called ' SUN'S PATH '
very nice!
What is your Komodo setup for the ronin?
Where is the Bottom plate from ? Or counter weights ?
And how do you usually export from premiere with the highest quality on the Komodo
bottom plate is the standard one. This set up didn't need counterweights surprisingly. See my Ronin S2 video for more.
What is the look lut you use?😊
I'm wondering, How do you focus? Thanks!
Using the focus motor that comes with the RS2
Are you used to working for batman movie or it just ur city look like gotham?
Loads of Batman movies were shot in this neighbourhood ;)
@@Joey_Helms anyway, go travel here to bali, would love to guide you around!
Nice one!
Thanks!
@@Joey_Helms Are you interested in collaborate with us?
Let’s chat, I have an idea - contact@joeyhelms.com or DM me on Instagram @realjoeyhelms
Rad
Thanks a mill
What did you use to pull focus?
The focus pull system that comes with the RS2
Name of app?
Gotta say, these cheaper anamorphics have the worst looking flares. Everything just feels over exaggerated and harsh to look at.
Anamorphic is used for far more than just flares but it appears people are forgetting this.
Not a fan of the 360 setup you have. You need to do better processing. It creates motion sickness for people who are sensitive to it. This is the first of your videos I could not watch.
Sorry to hear that and appreciate the feedback.
Man, nothing more tacky than a 360 camera. That crap needs to go. Nice lens from siriu tho.
95% of the time shooting yourself, what’s the point of this? What little was shown to do with an anamorphic seems the lens flares with strong sun light are blocky and ugly. Would have been interesting to see it in artificial lights situations, or facing the sun.
You having a bad day mate?
