Just messing with timelapse using Magic Lantern raw video and FPS Override (0.5fps conformed to 24p) on the 50D.

Used my latest build of @1%'s Tragic Lantern (Sept 8th) bitbucket.org/andy600/tl50d/downloads

Shot on an EOS 50D with an Auto Revuenon 50mm F1.4 at F2.8/ ISO 400. Frame size 1584x892 (16:9)

Post - DNGs CC'd, upscaled and converted to Jpeg in Raw Therapee. Added some noise reduction, tone mapping, camera moves and the 2.35:1 letterbox in After Effects. Rendered at 1080p.

Notes: This was a very quick set-up and shoot situation and I only had one charged battery :(

I was trying to work out what I was seeing from the balcony and had to think fast, guessing the best settings for Magic Lantern to capture this as raw video. It looked a little like the Aurora Borealis or possibly Nocto Luminescent clouds (as I've previously photographed imgbox.com/g/4sDa81fACu) but was way too low for either. It turned out to be simple fog dancing across the rooftops but the bright light in a nearby car park gave it a cool blue glow. If it happens again I'll set-up a proper 4k photo timelapse and try for some better angles.
