Share Your Videos / Commercial Aditorial Travel Project - ML RAW - 50p 3x3 12bit

« on: April 28, 2017, 02:29:42 PM »

Happy to finally share this.

Shot just before the 4k updates came out. I used 50p 3x3 binning to produce a 1920x672 image that does not require stretching. I then scaled this up slightly to fit a 2.35:1 frame.

12-bit RAW. 1.1.3. Got around 21 seconds. Mostly Canon lenses. Graded in Resolve using FilmConvert.

Any questions drop a comment.

Share Your Videos / Web commercial - 14-bit RAW + Macro

« on: April 18, 2017, 05:22:21 PM »

Pretty straightforward setup here, just a 5D3 on 123 recording standard 1080p 14-bit (nonlossless) RAW at 25p. 100m macro (the cheap one - not the L), and a Rhino Slider. One light and some black material.

Raw Video Postprocessing / 12bit and 3x3 best practise?

« on: March 23, 2017, 09:17:54 PM »

Hello, has anyone got any tips for converting 12bit MLV (as well as 50/60p 3x3) to DNG?

Canon 5D3 1.1.3

Anyone researched and found an optimal method? Preferably mac friendly.

Raw Video / Start / Stop raw with IR remote

« on: March 09, 2017, 06:15:37 PM »

So I have a Canon RC-6 and been experimenting using it as a record trigger on my rig.

I can get it to start / stop H264 no problem by mapping the record button to the shutter button.

With raw, I can get it to start no problem. But I cannot get it to stop recording. Not even pressing the button on the back of the camera will stop, the camera just keeps rolling.

Any ideas?

Hardware and Accessories / 5d III compact on camera audio

« on: February 23, 2017, 06:46:33 PM »

Anyone have any suggestions for a compact on-camera microphone setup?

Currently I use a Rode NTG-2, Sound Devices Mix Pre-D, but all this is a bit much for a handheld setup.

Any really good compact shotgun style mics that play well with the (mediocre) preamp in the 5d3?

Raw Video / 5dm3 RAW Sensor differences

« on: December 07, 2016, 04:16:35 PM »

Has anyone else noticed a slight shift on different 5dm3 sensors?

I recently shot a project with 3 different 5d3's. One is noticeably more magenta than the others.

WB and tints were all identical.

Raw Video / RAW Remote Start / Stop

« on: August 08, 2016, 01:50:06 PM »

Is there a device out there which will remotely start / stop RAW recording? Like a cabled remote shutter?

Just putting together my doc-style rig and would love to mount a start / stop button on a handle.

General Chat / 5D MK IV - Lets get it in the hands of the devs!

« on: June 01, 2016, 03:40:32 PM »

According to Canon rumours, this camera is out there in the wild being beta tested already.

As soon as it hits the stores, what needs to happen in order for it to be in the hands of ML Devs?

Do we need to set up a fund in order to buy a unit? I would gladly donate to support.

Raw Video / Is anyone shooting RAW with Leica / Contax / Zeiss primes?

« on: May 14, 2016, 06:37:40 PM »

Until now I've been shooting on Canon L glass (24-70, 24-105, 16-35, 70-200 etc).

Just wondered if anyone has been experimenting with Leica-R, Contax or Zeiss primes?

I've just bought a Summilux-R 50mm 1.4, but I'm waiting on an adapter.

Would be interested to see this combo in action. Show me your work!

Thanks

Share Your Videos / Best (indoor) colour I've had to date - 5d3 + 7D ML Raw

« on: December 15, 2015, 10:45:52 AM »

I mean without luscious golden hours, the South African Cape, etc.. Just two cheap PixaPro Litebank 455's and Magic Lantern Raw.

Real easy colour method - DNG's into Resolve, set to normal BMD film, timeline Node is Film Covert 5207 Vis 3 - Film Convert camera profile is Resolve ML RAW BMD Film M1.

Then 90% of my grading is literally done with the Resolve Camera Raw controls (sharpening at 25-30%, shadows lifted 30%, highlights down). Be meticulous with your white balance and voila.

Sent the sound over to my mixer guy, put that straight into resolve, exported straight from there. Re-encoded to H264 using Adobe Media Encoder.

Mostly 5d3 Raw - there's a cheeky bit of 7D raw thrown in on the male third angle.

Raw Video / MLV File naming

« on: November 19, 2015, 08:12:20 PM »

Anyone else come across the issue if you record a clip and within the same minute you switch card and record another clip you get duplicate file names?

Is there another option for naming convention other than DD-HHMM ?

I shot this as a wedding gift. I was also a groomsman on the day, so running double duties. I wanted to see what I could do with just a 5d3, a 70-200 and ML Raw.

Raw Video / Getting perfect RAW exposure (5D3)

« on: September 21, 2015, 08:43:06 PM »

I used to go by the full histogram, I would quite often underexpose, but more recently I've been setting my Zebras to 'Raw Zebras' and exposing so that I hit just under these (I still let specular highlights blow out).

This method looks over exposed on the monitor, but I can get a lovely clean image by reducing exposure in Resolve by around -1.5. Highlights are still preserved and noise in the shadows is reduced.

I'm open to ideas though - how do you expose for RAW?
