i'm going to be doing a fashion show...and it will be in black and white....do you think raw helps with black and white video or is it really only for  color where you need a lot of correction??

(also I want to shoot it in black and white not in color and correct in post)

good question. i never shoot in real bw before. but i think if you record in raw you also get more steps in tones, if grey or color. You got a much better picture out of raw files of the 5d then out of h264. but shooting a fashion show sounds very storage intense. think about what it's worth.

thank you, i used the 24mm T1.5 Samyang and the old Nikkor AI 50mm f1,4 most of the time. I really love these lenses. They are the most frequented in my lens kit. I used the Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 in the "Home" clip aswell. But its getting very soft and distorted in the corners. And i did not record in crop mode, because i don't like it filming nearly blind.
I used MLV for recording "Home" but had problems with droped frames. So i decided to shoot the second clip in regular RAW again.

thats nice, most of it is in german, but i hope most of the fotos are international

These two Fashion Clips were both shot with the help of Magic Lanterns RAW function.
Edited in Premiere and graded in After Effects 5.5
It was a university semester project in cooperation with a european fashion design award of last weekend.
The clips had to be not longer then 1:20min including credits. We had no budget, only sponsorings.
The second clip contains 50fps 1920p shots in the second half of the clip. I felt these have a more videoish look then the others, after stretching the shot image back to 2.35.
The fashion designers are Mathilde Maalouf

and Ilona Hackenberg

hope you enjoy.

PS:
if you are interestred and like to see how we did it, there are some making of pictures to both clips on: http://mauerfuchs.de/?page_id=101

I love using my 550D with cinestyle picture profile and Magic Lanthern. Right now i more prefer my newer 5D3 to solve the Antialiasing issues and have more crisp and intense raw. But here is a video i shot using my 550D

Whats the difference to just use the RAW function in 50fps mode in combination with the older HDR function that records two different frames. I mean...wouldn't it help the antialiasing a bit? The motionblur now may be the new old problem...
i got a 5d mark III.

Why would this make any sense?
We are saving raw. Do in post whatever you like to do.

Why does Red do?

It would be nice to save RAW files with LOG like the technicolor cinestyle for Canon DSLRs
Here is a nice article:

Is the dual iso method similar to the canon video raw strategy?

I bet some of the C500 developers who are watching ML Raw development remember some of these steps very well.

You find it in the 4th menu point the last option: movie tweaks. Press Q Button on that to see the restart function

just replace autoexec and ML folder

Where's the file manager ? I can't find it (maybe it's only my bad eyesight ?)

and Soundrecording and ETTR are missing too.
The module Screen says wrong version OldAPI and that it expected version 2.0 instead of 1.3
I thought i did someting wrong.

They mauerfuchs, are you also using the 64gb?

Yes i do. Mine came in FAT32 and i tryed to format it exFAT on MAC and PC. It didn't made it faster anyway...

There is one thing i still don't understand about the write buffer thing...is it possible to define the write buffersize somewhere in Magic Lantern? How and where?

Why is yours so fast? Because you're in playback mode?
Mine only makes between 82-95

Is it possible to give a 25fps PAL Mode a try for RAW recording in Europe?
I know you are hard in development. It's just a reason for my next shoot to get a 5DIII or not.
thank you very much.
