Absolutely awesome video. I love all the little shots that would have been impossible with a larger cam (security X-ray etc.). I think it also works very well emotionally. In addition to showing two of DVinfo's favourite celebrities, this is an outstanding piece of filmmaking.

I'm back from Canada with some new kit for my next film project, thanks to the folks at Cinevate. I had a great time collaborating with the group of cinematographers, all of whom are far, far more creative than me. They found lots of little workability issues in Magic Lantern and suggested several new features that will be showing up in a later release.
The 0.1.6 release is finally coming together after several days of fighting the "black screen on playback (http://bitbucket.org/hudson/magic-lantern/issue/60/black-screen-on-playback-review)" bug. I thought I had it fixed several times, but just this morning found the changes to the event handling code that makes me think that it is finally debugged. Writing new features is fun; fixing the stability bugs is painful.
That's the last showstopper, so unless the early testers report anything else there will be a new release soon. When I promised "Monday" two weeks ago, I didn't say which Monday...

Trammel, your shot taken whilst belaying down the rock face is a keeper out of about 500GB of footage taken over the three days. I'm pretty sure Chris used some of it in our follow up video posted at our site. You may be more creative than you think :-)
Although the schedule was a bit crazy, the f/8 Summit had a major impact on how we interact with our customers including finding new ways for us to promote you..the shooters. For those of you who haven't met Trammel, he's not just very, very smart. He's also a real nice guy.
