I know it doesn't look impressive, but it is, if you think that the young boy close-up is 150% zoomed in (to help the VFX) and heavily color graded!

BTW, this is the pilote episode of a web series that is also an online short film competition with very interesting prizes, I suggest you to take a look at the description of the video!

These are a few sequences in H264, RAW, RAW 3X Crop from macro 1:1.
I ran some tests to see how 3X Crop Mode can enhance macro shooting and I'm definitely amazed.

Long story short:

1- Canon firmware 1.1.3 + ML, everything was working fine.
2- Updated to Canon firmware 1.2.3 + ML, everything was working fine.
3- "Downgraded" to Canon firmware 1.1.3 + ML again and when I try to format the SD card, where ML is installed, I no longer have the "Keep ML" option.

I tried to push the "Q" button anyway, but nothing happens. Everything else seems to be working fine. Tried several ML builds, but it's always the same.

Any suggestion?

I'm currently using the Avisynth/VirtualDub workflow, but I'm not satisfied by the JPG quality.
Is there any way tho make VirtualDub export a TIFF or a higher quality JPG sequence?
Thank you!

Short movie written, shot and edited in 50 hours for the "Essi Girano 50H Film Festival".

Given theme: Serendipity
Elements to be included: a mathematical formula and a character with a tic.

I had a 5 people crew, me included.

Cameras:
Day scenes: 5D MKII 100 ISO (detail inside the car at 400 ISO)
Night scenes: 5D MKIII 640 and 800 ISO

I used Magic Lantern to have the cinescope crop marks, the manual audio levels on the 5D MK II, the 1/25 roller shutter speed for the night scenes and to reduce the codec compression (I chose the 1,5x option). I should have used the "ML ISO" too, but... in the rush, I forgot! Dialogues have been recorded with an external device.

My first short with Canon EOS 550D + ML:
