  • In this video I'll talk about Red Komodo and in real life use for 3 months.
    In short words, the camera is incredible and produces a stellar image quality, but this camera isn't for everyone.

    Well done, thanks for sharing your experience - global shutter is very appealing, not just for light flicker but handheld, in the car, person standing at the metro and the train goes by quickly, lightning, very cool size and love the batteries on top of the ND options with drop in filters

    Hi there, quick question. Can you have a live fullscreen view with the app or web page and wifi connection? And how fluid and stable the stream is? I'm wondering if it could be a way to have a low-cost monitoring solution for a director while still getting acceptable quality (not like super smooth no delay, but watchable with compromises).
    (btw thanks for the great review and information sharing, liked the appeased vibe without a thousand of quick cuts and beauty shots of the cam haha)

    Hey man! Great stuff. Do you always use the Canon focal reducer on Komodo or do you just use it at certain times?

    • @HugoWill
      @HugoWill  2 роки тому +2

      only when I need a full Fram field of view or an extra stop of light. otherwise prefer not to use since it flairs easily, but if the environment is controlled, then no problem at all.

  • @C-Carter75
    @C-Carter75 3 роки тому +4

    Very very interesting.. Thank you.
    I remember a video of you where you compared the Arri classic to modern Arri mini and stated that the classic was more organic..
    I totally agree, how would you compare modern Komodo to old legacy Red like Epic X or Red one Mx?
    Is the Komodo sensor too modern for that organic look? That's my only concern, keep up the great work !

    • @HugoWill
      @HugoWill  3 роки тому +7

      The thing about red is that their cameras are pretty much are data collection machines. If you shoot in raw you get all the data you need to manipulate the image and make it the way you want it. Even legacy reds are recording the same r3d files and even though you can't monitor in IPP2 on them, you can work with IPP2 on post. so let's say you've got a old epic DSMC1, you still can take advantages of the organic IPP2 pipeline. and it is absolutely possible to get the same look of Arri with a Red camera. All Arri did, is developed a look that applies on the data that collected by the sensor. But the source data is the same if you shoot in RAW on any camera. Steve Yedlin has been talking about this in his studies that changed my thinking about cameras overall.

    • @C-Carter75
      @C-Carter75 3 роки тому +1

      @@HugoWill Absolutely, Steve Yedlin has an interesting view on this topic, but being a celluloid film lover, his Film vs Digital test would have been way different in richer and more complex lighting situation..
      But that’s an other topic.
And you’re right about Red cameras (and all Raw digital cameras) being data collection devices that you can manipulate to give it the look you want, but like film stocks, i believe that every digital sensor has its own DNA.
      I can make Kodak 250d looks like Fuji with grading, but not without denaturing its original characteristics and degrading it in a way. I prefer to preserve the characteristics of a stock to keep it natural.
      Anyway, i played with some Komodo R3ds and tried the legacy mode, it reminds me of the old Epic which is a great thing..
      Would be interesting to see a side by side Komodo in legacy mode vs your Alexa Classic or Helium or old Red ..
      Keep up the great work my friend! You’re now the owner of an impressive and powerful little camera ;)

It sounded like some of the short comings you talked about of the Komodo are answered in the C70. From what I've seen, many people love the image from the Komodo at first but after time get frustrated with what it "doesn't" have. JMHO.

    Im sorry, but in 2021 camera reviews/opinion vids with sample clips need to be in 4k. Hd is fine for consumption, but when someone wants to show the iq of a cam it needs to be 4k, or yt compression EATS IT
