    The new RawMagic automatically merges all spanned .R00 files and incorporates vertical stripe correction as it churns out CinemaDNG files, which are automatically linked to their corresponding WAV audio files when opened in Resolve. And now with Resolve 11, you can do your entire edit with your raw CinemaDNGs and then go directly to grading, no proxies necessary. Convert files, then edit, then grade -- this is about five fewer steps than it was a few months ago!

    With the release of RawMagic 1.1.2 and Davinci Resolve 11 (Beta), the process of shooting, converting, editing and grading raw footage has become much, much simpler. Anyone speculating that the ML raw workflow is difficult needs to take a look at the two apps above.
  3. QuickHitRecord
    Are you are talking about the latest paid version of RawMagic (1.1.2)? If so, make sure NOT to check the "16 bit CinemaDNG Output" box. I hear that people have been experience the issue that you are describing when they do.

    For 2x anamorphics, I still say that it's the 5Diii with ML raw. The 4:3 acquisition means that you can get by without a monitor if you need to (which you can anyway with 1.5x anamorphics).

    I'm using a build from February, and it has a module called 'MLV_PLAY' that allows me to review shots, though not quite in real time. Not sure if this has progressed since then. I haven't upgraded though because everything has been working perfectly.

    Very nice. Your daughter is growing up and maybe getting a little shy about being on camera!

    It does look good, from everything I have seen. I think that the C100 is a winner here as well. And maybe you're onto something with the intra-frame argument, because I think that the stuff I've seen from the Magic Lantern raw cams looks pretty good as well. I don't have the tests on my computer anymore, but I was clearly able to see the difference between the way that these cameras recorded motion when I owned both bodies. I did have them set up together at points, recording the same subject with the same contrast. The only thing I may not have been able to match exactly was that the FS100 could record at true 1/48 shutter, while the GH2 was set to 1/50. But the GH2 was the one that looked way better to my eye. The clips that I have posted above reflect what I was seeing with these cameras. I see a difference!

    If you watch the examples above, are you able to see the difference? It's easiest to see when there are people in motion on screen, at least for me. I'm not entirely convinced that anyone and everyone is capable of seeing it, just like some people can see more colors than others, and some projectors give certain people headaches. And it's equally tricky to define, but I'll try. It's how a camera captures motion, which I believe pertains to the amount and characteristics of frame-by-frame motion blur (i.e. shape of blur, opacity of blur, etc.). But I suspect that it might be something on top of that as well.

    I'll go first. I bought and then sold my FS100 because I thought that the cadence looked all wrong to me. Here's an example (not shot by me), which in all other respects looks good to me: On the other hand, I think that the hacked GH2 has great motion cadence:
  12. QuickHitRecord
    Like color science, cadence/motion can differ greatly from camera to camera. It's harder to spot and consequently it's not frequently discussed. But some cameras have 24P that looks an awful lot like 30P. So, strictly focusing on c​adence, which cameras look good to you, and which don't? Please post examples.

    I think that the music stands on its own. They just take more risks with their videos than most bands.

    This guy does it: http://www.focalpointlens.com/ But it's quite expensive, time-consuming, and there is a small risk that the glass could fracture in the process.
  17. QuickHitRecord
    I've been curious about this one for a while. It's dual-focus, right?
  18. QuickHitRecord
    Your steadicam frightened the Chihuahua! Very nice footage. Some of the shots (particularly at the beginning) are tastefully soft. Did you accomplish that in-camera or while grading?
  19. QuickHitRecord
    The latest version (1.1.2) corrects vertical banding. I haven't done the update yet myself (as of a month ago, it was still a little buggy), but that's what it's supposed to do.

    There's an Olympus Zuiko 100mm f2.8 that I have been using as a taking lens for anamorphics on my 5Diii. It's the smallest (i.e. shortest) lens in that range that I could find and I like that it lets me keep my anamorphic rig small -- it is even smaller than most 85mm lenses that I have seen. It has a non-rotating front and a small filter size, so it's a good match for anamorphics. Doesn't cost too much either. Here's a little more info on it: http://omexperience.wordpress.com/lenses/zuiko-100mm-f2-8/

    Yes. I screwed the original front housing off, and then screwed the new one on. I moved the diopter and the retaining ring from the old housing to the new one. I'm no machinist, but if you think about it, it's really nothing more than a tube with some angled ridges machined into it, like this:

    Anyone using RawMagic 1.11 (paid) yet? EDIT: I've downloaded it and run a quick test. The app is quite fast compared to the other conversion tools that I have used, and it now incorporates vertical stripe correction (important for 5D footage), automatic audio sync in Resolve (HUGE time saver), and the Cinema DNG files that it creates are 12-bit and therefore quite a bit smaller. In my view, this really is the final missing piece to ML raw shooting.

    Front element diameter: 51mm* Rear element diameter: 41.5mm Length: 4.35" Weight: 18oz *Some of this gets covered up by the retaining ring.

    Coincidentally, my roommate just borrowed that film from the library. I was going to pass but now I'll make a point of watching it.
  25. QuickHitRecord
    I'll measure when I get home, but I think that the front element is 55mm. Know what's funny? After years of trying to avoid it, I'm finding that I rather like chromatic aberration in my images.
