Magic Lantern extends the Canon 5D's video capabilities

Magic Lantern firmware introduction from Trammell Hudson on Vimeo.

The Canon 5D mk2 already has some very tempting features for film making. Trammel Hudson has written a firmware hack that unlocks some of the audio capabilities and adds useful onscreen guides for framing and metering. More here.

To be honest, if I was film making with a high end SLR I'd probably invest in a good portable sound recording rig unless I was planning to record in some very contained spaces.

Buyacredit.com- fund a film by selling space in the credits

The idea of selling shares in a movie to raise financing for it is not new. Buyacredit.com is the latest variation on the theme. Three teenagers are selling mentions in the end credits for £1/$2 a share with the aim of raising a million to make their movie. The video on the front page looks like a spoof, so I don't know what to make of the rest of the proposal. Let's assume it's genuine and wish them luck.

Recording the voice over for 60, originally uploaded by spinneyhead.

Scarlett and Gabe are Voice 1 and Voice 2 for 60. We have recorded 4 takes and I'll pick and mix the best versions to dub over the live action.
