This is the best Red Exposure video I have ever watched! That includes tutorials from Red Digital Cinema's own KZread channel. Thank you so very much!

This is a great breakdown. I used to shoot - move into post recently, but I'm back to shooting so I'm playing catch up with camera tech since film school. Since I ordered the Komodo I've been watching YT videos on it up and down, and they don't compare. What a thorough and articulate breakdown of RED exposure dos and don'ts. Bravo.

Thanks! You're gonna love the Komodo!
This is one of the most helpful videos I've ever seen on KZread. Thanks for explaining it so well.
This is without a doubt one of the best videos on Komodo that I've come across -- maybe even *the* best. I'm new to Red system and the Info you shared here is super helpful. Thank you!!
This explains sooo much regarding my under exposed footage. I know I turned the iso up on the shoot. This is so helpful. Thanks 🙏🏿🙏🏿
Thanks for this structured and step-by step explanation of how to expose with a Komodo! I'm looking to buy one myself next year, and this guide is very helpful in so many ways! Keep up the good work :D
Well done bro! I never understand the people that dislikes informative videos like this. Keep it up!
This was beautiful. I understand that you had to explain it a couple of times. But you made it very clear und easy from the first one. Thank you. I don't shoot with Red but I love to learn about everything and have a broad understanding of multiple aspects of the industry
Very interesting and useful to know these technical aspects, even without using a Red camera. Thank you!
This was so helpful! Thank you so much for making this video
This is the best hands-on video about the Komodo. Now i know there are some things I don't want to deal with on the Komodo just to get that sweet Redraw codec. What I get from this video is that you need a crew to use this camera optimally as opposed to other cameras that are not as sensitive.
Mahalo! I ordered mine. Been so hungry for more info. Been doing the trainings too! I just can't wait. Glad you are doing more doc with this. It's what I do and now want to take to next level. =) Appreciate this!
I hope you understand how incredibly helpful this video is. I had no idea about any of this! Thank you thank you thank you
Thank you for taking the time to make this for us.
Cheers mate! Exactly what I needed to know. I have been using a red one for a week and I could not make sense of its light metering logic. Apart from the traffic light being only one and off/on, the rest pretty much applies to the red one too. Thanks again and all the best.
Hands down the best video I’ve seen about red Komodo. Thanks for the help!
Thank you for making this! Just got my Komodo and these tips were much needed
Really want to thank you for this content it has allowed me to prepare and inform myself prior to receiving my first Red camera. I cannot contain my excitement! I was at NAB when the styrofoamred camera was on display for the very first introduction and we watched Peters war filming sample in the tent of the first production ever shot on red. Polar Bear Productions thanks you as I return to filming after taking a long break waiting for this Red opportunity. Great job Justin.
This video probably saved me a trip to rehab... thanks for what you’re doing for the community, especially the newbies...

Thanks so much Justin. Very helpful video.
Thanks Justin - First video I found that explains this so well :)
Thank you dude! Explains a lot of questions that I had.
What a lot of people seem to forget is ISO simply amplifies the sensor voltage, it doesn't increase or decrease the number of electrons in the well of each photosite, therefore it doesn't change the sensor's exposure to light, simply interprets the already captured signal to a different strength.
Perfectly explained! Thanks.
This video is really good for understanding how to expose on the Red Komodo. Thank you sir.
it like finally clicked for me the way RED exposure works, THANK YOU!

Very cool! I haven't been interested in RED (the price range previous to the Komodo was certainly a big reason) but this is really interesting both for RED and every other camera. Underneath the hood, a sensor is a sensor. Each element of a sensor gets hit by photons and that causes electrons to get knocked off, creating a voltage for that sensor element, which is then read. At the low end of how that sensor works, when there are very few pixels, the resulting voltage is very low and random (noise.) In the middle, there is a roughly linear relationship between photons hitting it and the voltage that builds up. At the high end, the sensor's voltage maxes out and stops being linear, thus the pixel is clipped high. That basic physics operates for every sensor in every brand. It's really cool that RED is more directly showing the user what is happening on the sensor elements - too low voltage (dark/noise) or too high (light/clipped) instead of only running it through some pre-processing - what you're mentioning about showing the operator IRE info. Even though Blackmagic handles "raw" differently, the physics applies at the sensor level, so I'm going to look at the BMPCC exposure vs. dynamic range chart again and see if it makes more sense to me from the "RED-esque" point of view with their traffic lights and goal posts.
Great job and demo on an often overlooked topic! Thanks!
Great explanation. Thank you Justin!
Best explanation ever…. So many Komodo users don’t get this at all🤦🏻♂️

Thanx a lot! Very educational video.
Great video. I love this little camera. I like to think of ISO as a digital gain of the signal after the light has hit the sensor on any camera. So the more you pump up the ISO, the more digital noise you introduce into your image. The difference with RAW is that ISO data isn't baked into the footage you import to your editing program. Coming from a music background, I often compare to sound - whenever you boost the volume of your recorded audio digitally in post-production, you introduce noise as well.

Very very similar We even use the same term Signal to noise ratio The noise is always there, it's just the more you push important data into the lower shadows and then lift them the more you boost the noise
Awesome video!!! Thank you for this explaination of exposure!!
Really great tutorial! Thank you very much!
Excellent information, you rock!!!
Thank you for this, great video!
Thank you for this video, I really! Really! needed it, hope I will be half confident to use the Red Camera like my Lumix S1H

From my point of view, all cameras capable of shooting raw work the same way. Perhaps there is something more to take care with on red cameras that I don’t know, but ISO value is always metadata applied to the raw signal, as well as white balance. In blackmagic cameras, the only thing to take into account regarding ISO is the number of stops of highlights and shadows you have later to work with, just because if you shot at a very low iso, you have to give it physically more light, hence you’re destroying the highlights and cleaning the shadows, and if you set a quite high iso value, you’re filling your shadows with noise, whereas your highlights are protected because the iso boost makes you close the iris or crank up the shutter speed to let less light get into the sensor. What that means is that iso, more than affecting deeply, is conditioning your real exposure. What’s more, if you shot with the native iso of a camera (to my understanding, the one that preserves the highest number of stops above and below middle grey), you’re getting the most out of the sensor and boosting exposure in post would be the same as rising or lowering the iso value. Only the extreme situations would make one set the lowest iso value (when there isn’t a huge dynamic range in the image), or the highest (when protecting the highlights is paramount)

Kinda true..but a HUGE difference is that other camera manufactures that have 'RAW' images actually still have a native iso but boost a signal from say 400 ISO to 640. Is the 640 data from the actual sensor? No, its a combination of the 400 ISO plus a boosted electronic amplification to come up with 640. So the 'RAW' image from other cameras is pure data, yes...but it is a hybrid mix of a native signal plus internal electronic 'boosting' to achieve their version of a 'pure' signal.
