A couple of mohts ago we decided to invest into a RED Gemini 5k cinema camera to upgrade our filmmaking process. This camera is a beast and it's legitimate to ask the question if it's an overkill. We wanted to share our setup and how to use the RED in full detail to help you make that decision or just see if it's the right setup for you.

Since it's a long video here are some shownotes to skip trough the most important parts.
