Recently I had the chance to film the first video for Melbourne based Death Metal act ‘The Ophidian Ascension’. Making the most of Magic Lantern’s new raw capability, I decided to use it for the shooting and shot the whole production in a combination of 24fps and 60fps. All footage was captured on a 128gb KomputerBay memory card. Two versions are available below, YouTube and Vimeo. I recommend the Vimeo one if you want the true clarity and colour I selected as YouTube seems to mute some of the tones.

Hi Col, just wondering if you have had any success in using Magic Lantern with a Canon 7D to film for longer than 12 minutes? I live in Burleigh Waters. http://www.abbyeagle.com 07 5576 4270
Hi Abby,
Apologies for the delayed reply. Sadly in raw no. In the standard h264 format you should be able to get a longer runtime if your cards are formatted in exfat. Otherwise alas no.
