With Eyes Like These (Who Needs Astronauts)
1 month ago
A single slow motion shot of a baby's face.
Babies are like astronauts. They wear astronaut sleep suits, with short legs and oversized heads like space helmets. They travel from zero-gravity hyper sleep and emerge into an alien culture. Their clear, glassy eyes look like the reflective visors of space helmets. Their eyes look like earth from the moon. They can sometimes invoke a sense of awe.
I like to imagine my daughter as a young adult looking back into her own eyes.
Two minutes.
(This was my first test of Magic Lantern's focus assist, which was operated using blind faith. It worked great. I love ML! And rely on it always. It's the better part of the camera.)

May I ask, what were your settings? Did you crop in post, or shoot that wide?
Cheers!
It would be great if FCPX had a similar feature - custom display overlays - so clips in the Event Browser could be letterboxed. This would also take the away the processing burden of a filter or mask in the timeline, which is what is currently necessary.
cheerings from perú!
Waves from England!
