In this video we will explore the 7 things that are fairly different in the RED world compared to DSLRs, Mirrorless Cameras, and even other cinema camera systems. The biggest question I had, and am still pursuing, is: How do I get most out of this camera I just paid thousands of dollars for?
The RED Komodo 6K will likely be the gateway into the RED given its comparably lower price point, advantages in workflow, and compact size. This was certainly the case for me and therefore I want to share my initial learnings with you. By no means am I an expert on REDs and therefore possibly ran into the same challenges you might.

Can I contact you on some advice?
just knowing that the RED PRO CFAST 512GB costs $529.00 gives me headaches and discouragement ! i would rather stick with Sony Alpha !
Thank you for adding which lenses you used during the b-roll clips. It's a small detail, but much appreciated!
It's way too much of a contributor to an image to leave it out in this context ;)
@@Joey_Helms I started do that on my social media channels a while back. I would see footage and wonder what lens and aperture was being used. I hope those types of detail sharing becomes more mainstream.
Fingers crossed :)
I've been part of the RED community, using their ecosystem, for a long time. I think this is the most concise, no BS, just what you need to know, video I have ever seen for end to end work flow with RED. I'll integrate some of your tips into my workflow. It's always encouraging to learn a thing or two from a new RED user. Great work! Also, you are a talented DP. The example footage in this video is gorgeous!
Thanks so much Topher! Really appreciate hearing this from a RED vet! :) 🤙
I have to agree.
m
Agreed also. SO glad I stumbled onto his videos! Someone does needs to do a real series about accurate color correction vs. color grading - someone who's been around since before the time when people started using still cameras to make movies, so that it's someone who actually understands RYB gains, why they are what they are, and how to actually calibrate color to an accurate, measurable representation prior to "grading." :)
I'm not sure any accurate tutorials exist on the subject. Kind of like timecode - no one outside older filmmakers and tv studio engineers really understands it anymore well enough to explain it, much less teach how to use it. In fact, most don't even believe it's valuable. People spend $300 apiece on little devices to feed timecode into cameras without ever understanding what to do with it later, and even post in production companies producing shows for network tv just ignore the embedded tc and use plural eyes, smh.
Thanks man! Agreed on colour grading/correction. I may collaborate with a pro to talk about it at some point here cause I am just doing what feels right and is not scientifically accurate. And ha TC, yeah something I also just started using with the Komodo but such a big fan!
I am a proud future RED camera owner. This was actually helpful for me to fall deeper in love with this camera and those beautiful images. Thank you.
Congrats!!! Happy to hear that!!!
You're legit!! This honestly feels like discovering all about a new camera myself and figuring out all the bits and pieces to make it work.... I will soon upgrade to RED and the credit goes to you sir! Kudos
Thanks so much! Very happy to hear that 🤙🤙🤙
Not only are the tips indispensable but the shots throughout are stunning. Thanks for sharing Joey.
Glad you enjoyed the video Andrew :)
Ok. Straight up. I wanted 200 videos. I just got a RED and this video saved my life and frustration. THANK YOU BRO 🙏🙏🙏
So happy to hear it helped!!
You’re a natural tutorial man. The perfect amount of information quickly and Important user tips I haven’t seen on RUclips yet. Keep it up bro!
Thanks a ton Artur. Very helpful to get that kind of feedback 🤙
Great stuff, keep it up! Also, I just wanted to point out that with the Komodo you don't need to worry about black shading again after changing exposure. On DSMC2 cameras you would have to do this if you didn't black shade for all the exposure range. But on the Komodo, when you black shade it takes into account all the different exposures for that sensor temp. You'll notice this when the changing exposures the E may go yellow, then switch back to green.
And as you mentioned the T/E (T=Temp and E=Exposure), watch these because if the T is green that means the temp changes haven't been significant enough to need a new black shade.
Also, that blob you saw almost looks like you had some light leak when you black shaded. Most lens caps aren't dark enough to do a trustworthy black shade. I would recommend the body cap over a lens cap in most situations. And then even trying to cover it up with something else dark if outside on a sunny day.
Finally, this is super important, black shade after your camera has warmed up (can speed this up by letting it record for several minutes).
Hope this helps!
Great, great call out! Gonna pin it for a bit so people read! Still learning 😉
@People - Please read it!
I need to make a correction to one thing. If you do make a significant enough change to exposure (+-1/2 sec) you will see the E go yellow, indicating a new calibration is suggested. But that is a pretty significant change as I've only seen the E go yellow when really cranking the shutter speed. Which ideally you don't want to do anyways to keep a natural motion blur.
Is the black shading going to be more efficient once it is no longer in Beta? I would find this super annoying if I constantly had to black shade.
@@CineGraphStudios No, this is not a beta issue, this is just how the camera works.
It’s really not as big of an issue as you think. But it is something to consider. This isn’t a point and shoot system.
@@WeAreMapuche I'm coming from an Eva1, so not worried about having a run and gun system. Just looking for my foot in the door with a Red, but wondering if I should save for an alternative Red.
This is the best video I've seen for the Komodo so far! Thanks Joey!! You can tell you put work into this video!! Nice!!
Thanks so much 🤙 really appreciate it :) wonder what you think of the other Komodo videos on my channel :)
Bro, you rock man! I've been waiting for some info and you delivered! And like always with such good content! I'm eagerly waiting for the final production model so I can get one! Thanks a ton!
Stoked to hear that!
Fantastic video once again. This is a really great way for people to shoot and deliver RED footage properly. Thank you!
Thanks a lot :) 🤙🤙🤙
I never comment on these videos. This is one of the best, most informative, user friendly, and well executed pieces I’ve ever seen. Thanks bruv!
Really appreciate the comment :) and very happy to hear you enjoyed this video!
Well Done! Great production, lot of great details. No fluff! Exactly what I was looking for! Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much 🤙
Much appreciate this kind of video! I’ve worked with DSMC2 but it has been maybe 5 years since. Now- with a Komodo on preorder I’m thankful to get a great refresh. Subscribed- keep it up.
Thanks a lot Weston! And welcome to the Komodo Crew! Congrats
The best highlight reel yet, no question. Thanks for posting!
Cheers 🤙🤙🤙
Awesome stuff Joey, keep it coming! Very insightful stuff.
Cheers Filipe
Wow, you’ve answered all the final questions I had about this camera! Great video and your shots were incredibly crisp!🙏🏾 🔥God bless

Amazing! So stoked to get this camera.
Thanks for your time in doing this! hopefully I'll get mines soon too so I can start filming. Please keep posting these contents! :)
Thanks Mark :) Hope it is helpful!
Yep. The Komodo seems like it will make lots of people happy. And I started to watch your footage and realized all the shots are from Chicago. You did it justice. Unfortunately, in a few weeks it will start to feel like winter.....
Thanks a lot! Appreciate it! And ha, yeah I tried shooting as much as possible before the city freezes over ;)
This was the most helpful video I’ve seen so for first time red operation. Great work and thanks!
That's wonderful to hear :)
Great job! Thank you for sharing these tips. A RED is finally in reach and your videos are so informative!
Thanks so much Mark. That's great to hear!
Very nice tutorial Joey! I'm looking to buy a red myself and this video was very helpful in the proces!
This video is GOLD. Seriously, GOLD.
Thanks so much Angel :)
Thank you so much!! I just ordered my stormtrooper from B&H a couple weeks ago! So excited to start shooting with it when it comes in a few weeks!
That is awesome! Congrats Karsten!!!
Brother, your footage is absolutely mental. Craziest images I've seen someone pull out of this camera. Subscribed!
Thanks a ton Levi ✌️😀
I know this video is a few months old but thank you Joey. I just ordered my Komodo and look forward to getting started with it in a few weeks. This video was really helpful and informative. Great video bro. Thanks
Very happy to hear that! Have fun with your Komodo!!!
Really awesome content mate. I've been following the videos as well as testing the footage you so kindly provided. It's been really great. Please do keep it up for other grear as well!
Thanks so much :) really appreciate it! :)

Thanks so much Stefan!
Very comprehensive tutorial - thanks for putting this together!
😁😁😃🤙🤙
Have had my Komodo for 4 months now. One of the best if not THE best camera investments I've ever made. Your videos have been insanely helpful in this experience and process.
Thanks so much Brandon :) v v happy to hear that!
do you think its better than the bmpcc 6k pro?
@@nakhoneproduction2164 I have/had both - just sold the 6Kpro, and in many ways yes it’s better and in others no it’s not.
@@BrandonTalbot but the image quality is better than 6k pro??? and when you colourgranding is better tahn 6k pro??now i just want tp upgrade my production to hightend quality...so i consider to buy bmpcc 6kpro or red 6 k komodo , I shoot movie,commercial and music videos
@@nakhoneproduction2164 yes it’s better red raw is arguably the best codec out there
Very Helpful! Thank you!
Really a good and complete tutorial
Thanks 😊
Thanks a ton!
Awesome information! Great job.
Amazing and love it!!! Keep it up 👍🏾
This was excellent, man. Thank you so much for all the info!!! I'm planning to rent a RED Komodo, so I need to know the basics and this video has a perfect timing. Happy to be part of your gang!
Happy to hear it was helpful :)
@@Joey_Helms 💯%🙏
This is quality stuff, Josh! Thinking about a RED (also here in Chicago) and it's fun to see your intro to everything using footage from around the city. Thanks!
🙌🙌🙌
I also another request, can you make a video on all the accessories you use and their significance (paired with your RED KOMODO). Basically how you set up to how you use. From follow focus to everything. Maybe a detailed series of those instruments like how they work and stuff. Also they way you stabilize your image. Including the one you used with the Harley Davidson bike scene. Maybe also some other options for that and stuff.
I would be very happy if you consider my two comments.
Thanks a lot Sanak. Some great ideas in there. I will definitely consider making an accessories video! As for the Harley footage, check out the part after the sequence. There we talk about the gear we used.
Definitely saved this for when I buy the black Komodo, thanks for doing this!
You are more than welcome!!
Beautifully executed video, saved me a whole 3 hours of converting in Davinci
man these b rolls looks like they are straight out of feature films, love your skills. i hope i can pull the trigger on a RED next year.
Thanks so much 🤙👍
Soooooo helpful. ThankYOU!

Hey I would like to see a video on how you choose cinema lenses and generally a guide for beginner to pro in buying a cine lens. I would like to see different brands, kits , the best lenses used by pros and much affordable ones or at least an alternative to that.also why should you use a cinema lenses? Do they produce better quality videos than the normal photography lenses like sigma 18 to 35 which you used in one of your videos? Can you explain it from a beginner point of view regarding cinema lenses.
Such video is on the production list ;) stay tuned.
Perfectly explained 👏👏👏
Thanks a lot!!!
I've saved this video for future reference, and I'm subscribed to your channel. I don't have a Komodo yet, and I'm not sure when I would get one. But, if I do, I'll be ready because I'm following your channel. Great video, and awesome footage.
Thanks so much :)
Really helpful. Thanks
🤙🤙🤙
Amazing! 👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾🔥
Great video, as someone coming to the red world this is the perfect introduction video.
Welcome :) 🤙
The example footage is fire 🔥 omg
Debating between trying to get my hands on a pre-order or just waiting and getting the final release version. Either way I'm very excited for this camera!
👍👍 pre-orders are closed I believe. ;) Maybe some retailers still have a white version
Muchas Gracias from Argentina!!!
🙌 gracias 🙏
the shots are incredible
Thanks so much :) 🤙
Footage looks amazing!
Thanks! 🙏
Absolutely beautiful R3D images here ! Curious what glass were you using?? I'm a very new/ Red komodo 6k owner/ operator - extremely grateful for this video !
THANK YOU SO MUCH. SUBSCRIBED!
Well thank YOU for that sir!
Wow excellent tutorials
Great footage and tutorial 👍keep it up 🤙
Thanks so much! Will do!!!!
You’re doing a great job with Komodo
Would love to see a Komodo vs Alexa classic video
Thanks a million!!
I've been saving up for the R5 but your channel single-handedly convinced me to go RED.
Ha, thanks so much. It's a great and very different camera from the R5. Feel free to use the affiliate link in the description if you are going to buy the Komodo :)
I sure will! I can tell there's a learning curve with RED but the results from what I can see make it worth the effort.
You are absolutely right!
Yeah man, some great info in here, thanks!
Thanks a ton Todd!
11:36 I love how he deliberately tries to under and over expose the shot to show how the traffic light system works and it still showed that there was no highlight clipping or shadow crushing lol.
thanks man!!!
Red and reliability in the same sentence. That made me chuckle.
Awesome video!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Robert (my husband) thinks so too!!!
Yayyy! Thanks 🙂🙂🙂
Brand new Red user, this video was great thanks!
Welcome to the club 😉
I don’t even own a RED camera but enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the great work

My city, lets gooooo. Great content🔥🔥
Thanks a ton!
Can you make a video showing how you edit your RUclips videos? I'm loving the way you animate the screen recordings and the little visible pixels. Very cool!
Thanks a lot! I am really bad at explaining editing but maybe one day 😂
@@Joey_Helms I really enjoyed this video! You're a better teacher than you give yourself credit for!
Awesome Info man!
Thanks Ruben :)
Really awesome vids man! Keep it up. Can you do a video on lenses and lens adapters on Komodo please. Thank you.
thanks a million!
Well done!
Thanks a million 🙂
Joey! You are great!!!!!!
