I shot this while wandering around a beautiful old Italian hill-town. I didn't have any room for extra monitors or accessories traveling overseas, so I really had to rely on Magic Lantern for exposure with this shoot, and it served me very well.
I used the Technicolor Cinestyle preset on this shoot, and I love how ML lets you preview the shot in standard but automatically record in Cinestyle.
I also used the timelapse feature in ML to shoot the two timelapses in this film - left the intervalometer at home!

By the way, I sort of came up with a new way to post-process timelapses, as you'll see in the final shot of this video. I've never seen anyone else do this before - have any of you guys? If not, I'll probably make a video showing people how to do it.
Thoughts?

So beautiful! What did you use for the dolly-like shots? What Camera did you use?

Lovely work. I would love to see a tutorial on your post work for image sequences.

Thanks, everyone!

The slider is based on an Igus rail, and I've been really happy with it. The total cost of the slider + motor-assembly was only around $175. I have two different lengths of Igus rail, and the motor attaches to either of them very easily. I was also able to mount it at an angle to get the two crane-style shots in this short video. I'll shoot a video going over it this week.

I used my T2i with the kit lens and a 50mm f/1.4. I had to pack super light for this international trip, so I left all my toys and big lenses at home. My whole kit had to fit into one small shoulder bag, and the slider went into the same bag as the tripod.

I'll work on doing a tutorial for the timelapses, too.

Very informative. Thanks. I'll definitely look into the Igus rail!
