This mattebox is great because it can be easily stripped down to only its filter tray assembly. We are also using an Arri MMB-1 Mattebox with a Tiffen 4×5.65 White Water Circular Polarizer to reduce or eliminate glare on a windshield if we decide to shoot into a car. Other batteries, such as Red Bricks, are not recommended because they tend to be larger, and will interfere with the Movi Pro’s range of motion. We are using it because it is slim, and will ensure the Movi Pro’s full tilt range of motion. The battery will mount directly to the back of the camera. We run power to the camera and other accessories with a Core SWX 98wH Slim V-Mount Battery. In order for the Mimic operator to see what he is doing we are using a Teradek Bolt Pro 500 3G-SDI/HDMI Kit, and SmallHD 702 Bright Monitor. ![]() This kit also integrates with the Movi Pro so that focus can be wirelessly controlled by the Mimic operator. We are using a Movi Pro Bush Pilot FIZ Control Kit with a Heden M26VE Motor to control focus. This lens requires a focus control solution. This lens is classified as “color neutral” which will optimize the information being captured with the 8K resolution for color grading in post production. Our build won’t need the focus and aperture control because we are using a Leica Summicron T2.0 21mm Lens. This cable will allow the Mimic operator to control camera record start/stop, frame rate, ISO value, shutter spreed, color temperature, compression ratio, and focus and aperture of EF lenses with the Mimic Control Unit. The camera connects to the Movi Pro with the Movi Pro/Red RCP Serial Cable. The Mimic Control Unit is a handheld device that controls the pan, tilt, and roll movements of the Movi Pro. The Red Weapon can also be controlled by the Movi Pro Kit’s Mimic Control Unit. Considering the motion stabilizer has 3 axis motors that also move, and are controlled by an operator, the need to reframe sections of your final edit are almost guaranteed. When shooting a subject that is in motion, from a car that is also in motion, reframing your image will almost certainly be needed. This resolution difference will allow one to reframe the composition as needed. The resolution of the video’s final delivery will most likely be at least half of the captured video. The camera’s 8K resolution is perfect for correcting composition in post production. The advantage of using the Red Weapon is primarily two fold. The camera being used with the Movi Pro Motion Stabilizer Kit is a Red Weapon 8K Digital Cinema Camera. Many of the steps are timestamped and linked to specific points in the video.Ĭapture images with the utmost freedom with the RED GEMINI and its dual sensitivity sensor! What Accessories are Used in this Build and Why? Below the video is breakdown of all the equipment used, why we chose those items, and also a breakdown of the step-by-step process on how to build this setup. In another video and blog post, we will focus on prepping a car with a mounting system which our Movi Pro build will then secure to. In this video we will be focused on prepping the Movi Pro with a Red Camera and all of its accessories. If you prefer privacy, we also have a sound treated studio space called Studio One that you can schedule to prep in peace. Fortunately for you, we have a lot of space at our rental location so that you can prep your entire build in our shop, and ask our technicians questions, or for additional accessories to complete your build. If it also requires a Red camera, and additional accessories, then schedule several hours on your prep day. If your production requires a Movi Pro then schedule a prep day. A complete Movi Pro build may take 2 to 3 hours however, additional troubleshooting, and problem solving could take an entire day. The added time requires a day to prepare the equipment, troubleshoot equipment, and replace equipment, or alter the production schedule to accommodate your solutions. These additions add complexity, and complexity adds time. Additional accessories require additional mounting solutions, additional power solutions, and additional cable management. The variables are accessories mounted either directly to the camera or to the gimbal stabilizer. This particular Movi Pro build requires a prep day due to the sheer number of variables involved. A prep day is a day before your first production day dedicated to building and testing your production’s gear. This additional time requires a prep day. An advanced Movi Pro build with a Red Camera intended for a car rig takes time to build and test.
