This documentary was shot in Thailand in 2015.
Music: Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross - OST The Social Network
My firs try with Magic Lantern. I was really impressed with it's dynamic range and possibilities.
It was shot with Canon 5DIII and some cheap lenses with M42 mount, only hand-helded. Simpliest setup but it gives you much more freedom and speed than any other.

Beautiful footage - lots of fine details and romantic views, but why not color?

[Aerostat]

Thank you!
Well, i would like to work with colour in other, more minimalistic, way. But i understood it only when i got the footage in my timeline and started to try some colorgrading etc. So i decided to use only dynamic range and no colour. All this footage in colour looks a bit "noisy" for me.

Quality stuff! What were the video settings?

[Aerostat]

I can not remember now but it was just a kind of Magic Lantern's default settings setup for 1920x1080 with 24 fps.
I had 3x64Gb Komputer bay's CF 1066 and it's allowed continious RAW recording.

Nice stuff. Mind uploading a small sample of your favorite MLV file that I can try color grading on my own?

Love the clouds setting in 1:44 mark.

[Aerostat]

Yes, but now i got only extracted MLVs so i will sent you an archive.
Could you please remind me in Jan 24th about it? Now i have got alot of work to do and i'v got no access to my PC.
Thank you!

Still, it is a very beautiful movie. I've returned to see it several times now.

[Aerostat]

Thank you so much, Axelcine.
Jedi, did you recieve my PM?

Very nice shots! Really liked camera work. But IMO you ruined it with washed B/W. This location is so colorful

Let me disagree about washed B/W.
For me this in B/W looks much better than vast majority of color films I see here.
And I've seen that locations in RL many times

You right, it's wery beautiful and colorful, but overly colorful for me.
