Share Your Videos / Another test vid | 4.5K EOS M RAW Video | EF 50mm 1.4 | Viltrox Speedbooster

« on: September 08, 2019, 05:07:59 PM »

The video was recorded around Elgersburg, Germany, Thuringia.

All clips are filmed at very soft and bright apertures between f/1.0 and f/1.4 (thanks to the speedbooster). I used the 5K anamorphic mode at 2.39:1, resulting in a native resolution of 1488x1870, unsqueezed to 4464x1870 (but finally downscaled to 3840x1608).

Goal was to try out the brand new resizing algorithm AVIR with much better anti-aliasing capabilites, which came to MLVApp (not in official builds yet, but you can compile yourself). The algorithm is used when exporting with Apple AVFoundation codecs on OSX. "Stair effects" are reduced to a minimum with that. And from now on we can have 12bit resized ProRes4444 footage (OSX only), with slightly better color than exporting with ffmpeg!

I recorded all clips hand held... so sorry for the shaky footage. Next time I'll use a tripod/monopod/glidecam again

Gear used:
- Canon EOS M with Danne's Aug31 ML build
- Viltrox Speedbooster
- EF 50mm f/1.4 (results in 35mm f/1.0)
- ND64 filter

Share Your Videos / La Palma Island - with EOS 5D2 and EOS M

Some weeks ago I traveled with my two EOS cams to the Island La Palma. Here is my final short holiday film - made from over 450GB of MLV files.

Share Your Videos / 5D Mark II on the Seychelles

« on: November 29, 2018, 10:36:52 PM »

In the month of May, I spent my vacation in the Seychelles. It took weeks to scroll through the 550GB of MLV files I recorded there... the final holiday video was finished in the last summer days. Now Ilia brought the new color processing to MLVApp. I tested with some clips and was so impressed by the colors, so I decided to create another shorter public version. Here it is:

I am not 100% satisfied by the smoothness of my glidecam movement - I probably should have balanced it better. But the climate has been a heavy burden on the Glidecam too. After one week the ball bearing was rusty and my only chance to repair was to steal some drops of hydraulic oil from my rental car... 
Gear used is: 5D Mark II, EF 16-35 2.8 L II, EF 100mm 2.0 and a GoPro 3 for the underwater and cycle clips. All clips from the EOS are processed and color corrected using MLVApp only.

Make sure to watch in maximum resolution youtube offers... the compression is... ARGGHH

Share Your Videos / Zerbroch'ner Traum - MusicVideo

« on: March 09, 2016, 03:03:36 PM »

Hello,

this is the last music video I did with my band. It is filmed 100% with magic lantern mlv on a EOS 5D Mark II. While filming all worked like a charme. Then I had big problems (crashes) with mlvfs - 200GB of raw files were to much - so I seperated the files to 7 ~30GB folders. Then it worked perfectly and I could grade and cut in Resolve. Thanks to the magic lantern community! Your work is great!
The songs theme is a difficult one: violence against children and women.
But I hope you enjoy the video anyway!
