T Mac’s Cargo Bike from Fast Boy on Vimeo.

When I asked Marc Anthony Thompson if I could use a butchered version of his song Kiss Me as the background music for this video, he said:

Of course you can use Kiss Me.

You can flip it over, play it backwards, unearth the Satanic gems, slow it down, speed it up, feed it currants, come in it’s mouth ( is that too far? ) -

all that to say:

Have your way with it and I look forward to seeing it and you soon.

Ok?

Made by Hand / No 5 The Bike Maker from Made by Hand on Vimeo.

A project from bureauofcommongoods.com, Made by Hand is a new short film series celebrating the people who make things by hand—sustainably, locally, and with a love for their craft.

Our fifth film turns to bike maker Ezra Caldwell (Fast Boy Cycles), who was diagnosed with cancer in 2008. When the cancer threatens to shatter his love of bikes, Ezra survives by documenting his illness as thoroughly as his craft.

5D mark ii Magic Lantern RAW test (low light, high ISO) from Jon Andreas Sanne on Vimeo.

Canon 5D mark II with Magic Lantern nighty from 14. may and raw video module.
Focal 50mm
Shutter: 1/48th
Iris: F1.8
ISO: 1600
H.264 footage shoot with Cinestyle picture format.

RAW Workflow: extracted DNG sequence from the RAW file using ML’s RAW2DNG.exe. Opened all dng’s using in Camera RAW using Adobe Bridge. Graded image as flat as posible using contrast and exposure. Changed white balance slightly. Batch exported as 14bit PSD files. Imported PSD’s in Premiere Pro CS 5.5 as image sequence. -I’m new at working with RAW, so any tips or improvements to my workflow is welcome.

It usually starts to drop frames somewhere between 150 to 250 and only gets worse from there. (You can see it starts to drop frames at the end of this footage.) Still impressed by what they’ve been able to do with this so far. I’m hoping they’ll have a usable build in the somewhat near future. I’d love to be able to use this for a project :)

Will this damage your sensor? Short answer: NO. nofilmschool.com/2013/05/magic-lantern-canon-dslr-raw-video-sensor/?utm_campaign=twitter&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitter

Huge props to Magic Lantern

Timple - 5Dmk3 RAW video test - from Macgregor on Vimeo.

quick test shot with a cheap plastic tourist tripod. It’s so widescreen because this was shot on 1920x720px RAW - the fastest a Sandisk 60MB/sec CF card would let me shoot without dropping frames. Processed with Adobe camera raw in AE

14-bit RAW on Canon 5D Mark III vs. factory default vs. GH3 - Image Detail test from Saad Rabia on Vimeo.

This is a quick test of the new compiled ML for the 5D Mk III vs factory default and the GH3.

Notice that the red lines on each window of the construction building are actually red fences that only appear in the ML setup. I’m amazed that Magic Lantern actually increased the sharpness and details of the video.

Based on my observation the ML comes first followed by GH3 then default Mk III setting at last place.
