+1 for "not a fan" of the branding. But they've definitely cleaned it up over the years as others have already said. Either way, velcro isn't hard to slap on the camera to cover it. For what it's...

Outside of just getting all your witness marks to match up, the purpose of shimming is to put the lens to a known standard so that it can be put on any other camera's mount and keep proper focus. And...

I'm not a RED engineer but I would guess it's not gonna happen, because even if we could just get 48fps in full height 6K, you can damn well bet we'd have that instead of 40. 40 is such an odd number...

Thanks, guys. I'm glad it was helpful.

Nick also brings up a great point that a lot of this stuff starts well before setting up a single light. Behind every great frame is hours of discussions and...

Cheers, Mark.

Aputure, Quasar Science, and Indy Mogul put together a good breakdown of some problems you can get shooting with RGB LEDs. It's what I was eluding do when saying key with a fuller...

TL;DR: Color contrast and full spectrum lights on a face can help separate them from a monochromatic or dichromatic background.

To me this looks like four lights on our subject:

1. Low angle,...

Aside from the good tips about what to do with your lens, color processing definitely can have an effect on the perception of CA. Without even addressing CA specifically, global color adjustments can...

SLR Magic APO primes, the DZO Vespids appear to also be apochromatic designs. Full disclosure, I haven't used either, but the stuff I'm seeing from these two look promising for the CA haters.

I've listed this on ShareGrid, with a lower price of $16K, shipping/insurance included.

So I will no longer be bumping/updating...

For sale is my Epic-W Helium camera package. The camera has well under 400 hours on it. All items are in good, working condition. Very minimal amount of wear, I take great care of all my cameras.

Yes. You're looking at the Neo 150S model.

The Log3g10 curve has room for values that the Komodo simply cannot record because it was designed to accompany all the different RED cameras. Some cameras won't fill up that "bucket" as much as the...

This one is playing in 4K for me on Chrome and Firefox on a Windows machine.

I noticed that too. With other sensors, I'm used to dialing in a negative tint value where Komodo I sometimes need to dial in a positive tint value. But an overall tint difference is easily...

Komodo's OLPF is said to be skin-tone highlight based and these shots were done with the standard OLPF on Komodo. I'd be curious to see the test done again with the STH OLPF on Monstro before making...

That's exactly what I was trying to say above. Thanks for putting it in better words. Looking at Arri's stock LUT, I think Arri clearly knows that a more pleasing image is to not recover the...

Tried a quick attempt at matching:

For what it’s worth, I added grain to my grade.

Nowhere public is my guess. I know there's a private group on facebook for early camera owners (separate to the RED Komodo Users group), so perhaps you need to look there.

Thank you! It's a personal color process I've actually been developing for quite some time and I use it as the "negative" base for everything I shoot anymore. Kinda leans into some film-inspired...

Here's mine:

You might take great interest in this video. Well worth the 46 minutes.

It was shot by Lawrence Sher. :)

Brendan touched on it above, but to expand on it: lookaround is a feature so that you can shoot at a cropped window, while monitoring what is beyond the edges of your frame. It's a useful feature for...
