This short film, FEBRUARY, was shot on a pre-production unit of the new Canon EOS 550D / Rebel T2i. This is UNGRADED footage straight off the camera (converted to ProRes LT first for easy editing). I used a "flattened" picture style as outlined by Stu Maschwitz on his blog: http://prolost.com/blog/2009/8/3/flatten-your-5d.html

Shot in 1080p with 25fps, except for the slow-motion, which was shot in 720p with 60fps and later reconformed to 25fps.

EDIT:
I updated the blog with a rolling shutter test and a short raw footage clip (straight off the camera) for download.

[GizmoBitz]

@thenino you coud have just answered it instead of redirecting. :P

[thenino]

@GizmoBitz you could also just have watched the end of the video :) it's there

I have a question; if you flattened the image as per the blog, did you then re-sharpen it, or is the flattened image we're viewing? Either way, it's stunning.

[thenino]

@logosthedestroyer No, this video is exactly how it comes out of the camera - ungraded. I have a graded version of this film uploaded too.
