Thanks for the video. Very informative. just a suggestion. For your master shot, shoot at a 5.6 or 8 so the camera is in focus as well
awesome! subbed! look forward to more like it!!!
interesting, esp. as not one reference to the "red ranger", I mean the Power rangers!!, an obvious pun, considering the name of it.
QUICK QUESTION: Please, do you do MANUAL BLACK SHADING on the GEMINI??? Or, does the camera do an AUTOMATIC black shading on it's own?
Is it just me or does anyone else think this video is flat and not color graded
nope. it's definetly flat
Red ranger, go go epic dragon rangers
Image is kinda flat
I put my red in storage for a few weeks - took it out, and it wouldn’t read the lens so I couldn’t change the aperture (lots of answers online, seems to happen often) finally, the third solution worked but by then it was almost too dark to shoot - and the weight! - the sheer clunkyness of the camera- ugh! I sold it that week! Great picture though, I’ll give you that!
What was your solution for the lens issue?
@@renthighspeed3994 After two attempted software fixes, it turned out the solution was much more simple: I removed the lens mount and cleaned the contacts (on the camera and the mount) with a q tip soaked in rubbing alcohol - then everything worked perfectly.
my team : Gemini + Komodo
Given that reds underperform on dynamic range spec (claim 16 stops but actually only do 14 stops, 12 if you consider realistic use of signal to noise of 2, that is just about 1 stop better than an iPhone or bmpcc) vs. Arris sensor which promises 14 stops by spec, but actually delivers 14.7 stops, that the color science on Arri is a notch above Red and that the Alexa/Mini/LF is a thing and these cameras are similarly priced and featured and Reds never won an Oskar: Why the heck would you ever buy a Red? (other than the cheap Komodo, because tiny boxes are cute even when they lack production critical features such as locking mounts and ND filters).
How can you say they are similarly priced? Arri is way more expensive than Red.
@@gordonhatusupy2224 An Arri alexa mini goes for $50k. A red ranger gemini for $30k and a mostro for $50k.
@@pyalot Exactly so how can you say they are priced similarly? A monstro is an 8k LF sensor.
@@gordonhatusupy2224 They are similarly priced being within 40% price difference the same way a sony a7s III going for $4k is similarly priced to a Nikon z6 at about $3k. A BMPCC 6k at $2.5k or a C300 mk3 at $10k is differently priced, the difference between red and arri is practically negible for the audience that can buy them.
@@pyalot You are talking about just "starting prices". There is a reason why there is a market for RED. It's probably because operating cost for a RED is much lower than it is for ARRI. As a solo operator I'd be in the market for a gemini kit but not for a alexa mini.
How else do you explain Red's success? They cater to different audiences.
It’s just a 12 minute video of you.
Agreed. No example footage, and a lot of redundant information stated over and over. All of this could have been cut down to a four minute video.
