Working out a shot list/ camera set up with a director for a horror short film, night interior and exterior shoot in about a months time. Table read next weekend. So glad I have the Gemini that had 9.5 hours on it, now it has 15. Used it for a interview prom on the weekend paired with a bmpcc 6k. Can't wait to pair it with the scarlet w once I get the cinelux reduxa R2 dsmc2 speed booster which is a swapable EF and PL mount and a focus shift adjust on the side, so FF + 1 stop of light.

I have received the Red Gemini 4 days ago and it is a huge step up from the scarlet w. The amount of light that comes in compared to the scarlet is insane!! Red gemini S35 is using a smallhd red dsmc2 camera monitor control through my Indie 7 monitor, so no red dsmc2 touch screen, apart to enable the communication to RCPl to enable communication between camera and Indie 7. It had 9.5 hours on it and was straight from Red's studio/ offices in LA. And bought from Cinema camera in LA. The customer service and speed at which it was delivered was exceptional, like i fired a lot of questions at them and they answered every single one. The delivery took 4 days and from the US to Melbourne, thats super quick. I was really impressed with that. I wish some Melbourne video production stores had customer service like these guys do.

@Paul Kepner They are beautiful!!
A quick color overview
I keep hearing that people are struggling getting started with color grading, so I made a really simple video to help.

Awesome clean, simple to grasp node tree colour, CST and lut explanation. and then to wrap it all up in a Lut for on camera use!!! Great video!! I definitely could have used this 1 youtube video when I started out instead of spending hours, if not days and weeks researching and viewing youtube videos, only to stop on Darren Mostyn and Curren Kelly.

🤣 $30 AUD for a 1 mtr. length
A setup from last year.
Hard to tell in the photos but I have a Nanlite 720b bouncing off a 5ft umbrella through that 8x8 1/4 grid cloth and a 720b through a spotlight mount on the background. We also let some light bleed on her hands to sell a harsher light effect. You can see the cloth pulled up off the table in the photo. This is a go-to setup for me.

Just for that hard sunlight look coming in across the body to sell the realism a little more. Nice!!
