Camera-specific Development / ML for the C300
November 29, 2012, 02:39:07 AM
Not sure if this is the proper forum for this, but...

Does anyone out there know if it would be theoretically possible to port ML to the C300?  And if so, is anyone working on it?

Wow! This is great! I have been away from the forum for a few weeks and am thrilled to see that this feature has been added to ML.  I am a 7d owner, and do not yet have ML installed, but can't wait to get it onto my camera to try out this feature.

Now, if only there was hacked firmware for the C300...

Feature Requests / Re: film style "flash frame" effect

@glubber - that is very close the the effect I'm talking about.  The only thing is that it should happen much more quickly, from one to two seconds in duration.

Feature Requests / Re: film style "flash frame" effect

I am an editor who occasionally shoots, so I can sympathize somewhat with the impulse to "fix it in post." However, while flash frames can be imitated, they can't be truly recreated in post because of their highly dynamic nature.  Flash frames involve a ramp up in the fps from zero to the operating speed of the camera, and a corresponding ramp down in exposure, from radically over exposed to correctly exposed. The ramp in fps yields motion artifacting (apparent motion ramps from sped-up to normal) as well as a ramp in motion blurring (from an extreme amount to a "normal" amount.)

While I suppose this is sort of a "special effect" I don't view it that way. I see this as an attempt to faithfully mimic shooting on film.  I think that many DPs would agree with me.  In fact, I think HDR is much more of a "special effect" than this.

My question remains, would such a feature be feasible within the framework of ML?

This is a bit complicated, but I'll try to explain it clearly.

In the days of motion picture film cameras there was a phenomenon known as a Flash Frame. 35mm film runs through a camera at 90 feet per minute, and it would take a second or so for the camera to get up to speed.  These cameras have rotating shutters(driven by the motor that pulls the film thru the camera), so the exposure is directly proportional to the fps.  So, for the first couple of seconds, while the motor is accelerating up to full speed, the image is over exposed.

In the 90s it became fashionable to use Flash Frames in music videos, and the aesthetic spilled over into tv and feature films as well.

I think it would be really cool if ML could simulate film Flash Frames be gradually ramping the frame rate up from 1fps to 24fps over a user defined period of time, while simultaneously over-exposing the image accordingly (ideally be adjusting the shutter speed, though ramping the ISO could also work)

Does this sound feasible?
