CANON 7D MAGIC LANTERN 14-bit RAW Video Test

Shot on an old Canon 7D from 2009, and a cheap yet sharp Pentacon 50mm 1.8.
The song used in this video is an amazing performance by Roo Panes. I do not claim any rights over it. Contact for removal.


"Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:" Mat 7:24


The aim of this video is to show the 7Ds video capabilities with Magic Lantern installed.
Shot in 14-bit RAW in either 1736x724 or 2520x1052. Aspect 2:39:1, 23.976 fps. Lexar 1000x 32GB CF cards. Exported in prores 4444 (down to 12-bit) through the MLV App.
Also my first attempt at grading with Davinci Resolve 15.

It is a lot of fun to shoot raw video on this old camera, but I wouldn't recommend using it for any type of serious work since there are multiple issues with this camera. With no anti-aliasing filter (shown in this video), aliasing can be seen quite often. Color moire is also present in some shots, especially on water in bright situations. Thankfully it seems that shooting in crop mode 2.5k helps reduce some of those problems. And in my opinion the footage still looks good even with those issues. ML video really produces a unique look to my mind.
