2021 McDonald’s Inspiration Celebration® Gospel Tour

I had the wonderful pleasure of being the Director of Photography one the Howard University segment of the 2021 McDonald’s Inspiration Celebration® Gospel Tour. Our segment was directed by Sir The Baptists and produced by his team at Tymple. I thought this would be a good shoot to test out some Sigma Cine glass so we shot all sigma with the exception of C camera ( 😅 I left the PL mount at home ). We shot on the RED Monstro Gemini & Komodo.

RED MONSTRO

We recently picked up a RED Monstro 8k fresh off a Major film set. Whenever I get a new camera in a spend the first few weeks testing frame rates, battery life, operating weight and image quality. I used the 35mm SLR Magic APO MicroPrime . Here are my finding thus far:

  • The 8k image is flat out amazing

  • The lenses must be full frame to use the full sensor

  • It’s not much heavier than the other DSMC2 cameras

  • It Drains the battery faster ( not by much) than the other RED cameras we have
