Shooting Komodo X at Night in the Rain + Gear breakdown with Nick Dabas

Cinematographer Nick Dabas built a RED Komodo X rig using DZOFilm Vespid Primes to shoot a BMW M3 at night and in the rain. He decided on the CreamSource Vortex which is waterproof and delivers a strong output. For other shots, he went with the Matthews Master Car Mount and the DJI RS3 Pro with the Tilta Nucleus Nano II. The goal was to test the RED Komodo X's low-light capabilities in addition to its shadow detail, of which he was very satisfied with the results.
Nick Dabas is a director of photography based in New York City. Nick's passion for still image photography brought him to filmmaking where the creative process and different cinematic production techniques piqued his interest.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING!

[@12yfilms]

Creamsource Vortex 4 & 8 are my absolute favorite lights! I'm surprised that B&H don't sell them anymore. These lights produce such a beautiful color. I lit up a living room on a 3rd story apartment... from the ground! That's how bright these lights are.

[@mimvlog3236]

Good inspo for any filmmaker

[@phrasalsyntax]

This is very well executed instructive video: good pace of the editing, the narrative fits the scenes, music in the background at an appropriate level (not loud), the behind the scenes are very informative, very well done. Which camera did you use to shoot it?

[@NickDabas]

Thank you I used the black magic pocket 6k pro for all the products and the Amira for the interview and Sony Fx3 for BTS

[@rikagarrison9584]

Yes
Gg

[@RebelScumThis]

[@Dezdirectz]

Never that

[@NickDabas]
