  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

KOMODO....

Brian,


Thanks for all of the above comments. But all I can muster is what you'll see here on Reduser. I post in this thread and in others so that others can have access to videos and info that I have learned something from personally. Sometimes people don't see it that way but that's the true intent behind It. For every video I post, there was about 15 to 20 that I didn't. Thanks again Brian!
 
relax I just meant that a global shutter overall is better then a cmos shutter. But The global shutter has more noticeable jitters in handheld movements especially given how light this camera is.

And it is more jittery / shaky then other cameras. I’m not saying it’s bad and I’m not saying it can’t ge rigged to be heavier - I’m just saying that in that footage it looked good and that maybe the lense adapter helped somehow.

Global or Rolling, they're both CMOS sensors. And the global shutter should not create more jitters in handheld, that depends more on the settings and shooting scenario. Many shooters doing tests right now are off on the shutter angle, instead of using NDs. So that might be the thing here, as well as the weight being lower and therefore handheld shots are less stable. But that has nothing to do with CMOS or global shutter.
 
We should probably use the term electronic shutter, rather than global shutter, for Komodo.
FWIW, shutter characteristics and the perceptual results are an interesting subject. I'm a huge fan of a sine wave shutter characteristic and find it far more natural looking than any other.
IAC, in those situations where even a very fast read/reset cannot hide rolling shutter artifacts, a global "type" shutter or hybrid can be most useful.

Cheers - #19

The Murray Show - Test Footage from RED KOMODO


By Seth Dunlap




Test footage shot with the Red Komodo in ProRess 422 4K 235
Most of the shots are in 47FPS with a 23.98 clip at the end
35mm Zeiss Milvus EF F2.0

I tend to go a little overboard with filters, so this was a promise 1/4th, 1/8th, and a veritable ND filter.

Matt,

I sometimes don't pay attention to the names of the poster of the video, I apologize for not recognizing it earlier.

I didn't even notice! Thanks for sharing the link.. I thought it was funny to see a little GoPro around here (I admit, I love a little GoPro footage every once in a while).. More posted today and a few more produced projects in the works :)
 
Matt,


Just found your new one. Let me know if you would rather post it yourself and I will remove it from my post. Thanks for the Video!

Here's some footage shot during a music vid project.

Mixture of Komodo and Helium.

Yes I got that wrong - I was calling rolling shutter ‘CMOS’ shutter. I think I’m so used to CMOS sensors being set to ‘rolling shutter’ that I forgot that global was also set on a CMOS sensor as well. It’s been a long time since there was a mainstream global shutter. Can’t remember the last camera that had one... digital Bolex ? Also I think blackmagic has one in their 4K lineup? As for jitters definitely making the Komodo heavier helps immensely. Just got to find a way to still keep it small. Iron clad cage Maybe haha.
 
I wish I was in South east asia, with a komodo and my macbook, uploading videos to my youtube channel Jed McKenna. Making random videos with the people of Lao that I meet... mayb next year hopefully :)

Yes, they had one and then abandoned the concept since they couldn't push the DR of the image any further than 11 stops. I believe that this is what Red meant when Jarred pointed out that they had "overcome the drawbacks of global shutters".

I wonder, just for the sake of this conversation, how the DR of Sony's F55 was rated (since it's also a Global Shutter). I've seen something like 13 stops but I don't know if that's the correct number.
