Enter the Chasm – A Night with The Amenta

Australian extreme metallers The Amenta recently took the stage at one of Brisbane’s best music institutions, Crowbar. I decided to gear up, take along the 5Dmk3 as well as a newly purchased SmallHD DP4 EVF. I also had a freshly installed build of MagicLantern and took the chance to make this clip in RAW. Also worth noting is that I didn’t ask permission to film the band so if they aren’t stoked with me having this up, then let me know. The clip is just below with a bit of me talking about the SmallHD and firmware updates just following.

Using the the SmallHD DP4 EVF for the first time live was a true pleasure. The DP4 is a small but fully functional field monitor with pro features such as Peaking, Focus Assist+, False Colour and a whole heap more. With a relatively simple setup and short programming time (if needed) it really gets into the work quickly. If you get the chance to test one I recommend it, even more so with the EVF attachment. Adding the EVF loupe to the monitor is amazing and really adds to your visibility, particularly in low light, for viewing the image. On top of this it’s essentially making your viewing space far larger by making use of the monitors 4.3inch size.

I will say though if your using Canon Firmware 1.2.1 on your camera (I can’t due to MagicLantern needs) it would be smart to set the colour for your shots off the monitor on camera. The DP4 is great but it still can’t match the camera colour perfectly. With 1.2.1 installed you can now run the camera screen and HDMI out monitor at the same time. If your like me and using ML you will need to set colour on camera then plug in your monitor. While these steps aren’t necessity I would recommend them to help set your shots.

RAW test – DSLR – ISO 1600 – Noise Removal test

Another day, another test with RAW. Firstly this is the last one where I don’t support the shot etc. properly. These were purely for making sure ML is running correctly. Another use of this test was to see what footage taken at ISO1600 would look like in RAW.

The advantage of RAW being that you can shoot at high ISO and clean the image to remove most, if not all unwanted noise. Then add a little bit of film grain back in and voila!

More serious tests coming this weekend.
