- Hi Everyone. Welcome to this short documentary about magic Lantern. This software and the Eos-M camera kicked off my career and I thought it would be a wonderful tribute to end the year with a short documentary about other creators.
Don’t forget to look out for Tom from Filmatura, he has a special surprise for you.

Turned out so good Cole! Really honored to be included in this!
Thank you Nigel and thank you for sharing with us.
I've only had my EOS M and Magic Lantern for 3 months and it has been such a great experience. With the low cost of the body, I've been able to purchase a few lenses and accessories and learn as a complete beginner.
The limitations of the camera has forced me to learn from my mistakes fast, but the accessibility has ultimately pushed me out of my comfort zone and go out and shoot. This documentary has given me more insight to the history of Magic lantern and I'm truly grateful for the community. I'm still hesitant to post on the Facebook groups, but I do appreciate all the content on UA-cam and other platforms.
Thank you for this documentary. I have so much more appreciation of the hard work and talent that the community has produced.
Thank you for watching.
That's very smart to invest in lenses etc rather than blow all your cash on an expensive body. You're like a lot of us when we started and trust me....you made a good choice. The Eos-M and ml will teach you so much if you stick with it and at the same time it's very rewarding when to manage to create some finished work.
Take your time and post when you're ready and look forward to seeing what you come up with 🙌🏾
Wow, fantastic video! What a great Christmas gift. Super cool to see the faces to all these big names, and for you to weave together the history, hear from artists, and get excited about the future of Magic Lantern. And man, I am so honoured that I got to make a small cameo in there, and that you linked to my video, what a pleasant surprise!!!
Also I love the gold backdrop, chair and lamp, what an awesome set.
Merry Christmas, Cole!!!
Hi Alex, thank you brother and I'm glad you liked it. The community is so diverse its amazing. There's lots of diverse groups on the net but the Eos-M group I feel is more than that...no arguments, no trolling, no racism....NOTHING! Just thousands of people who all help eachother and it's amazing.
I had to put you in there because I really enjoy your work and your presence. I also love thale fact that you genuinely have a love for cinematography.
Thanks again for watching 🙏🏾
Brilliant documentary! Hope to see more in the future from you.
On top of those interviewed here, Magic Lantern has probably helped shape many people's careers by making film making more accessible. Its importance can't be understated.
Thank you and you're absolutely correct. So many people I know started out in ML. I know one guy who has a film on Netflix shot on Magic Lantern.
We really do owe the Devs a lot of respect.
Great way to pay respect to the creators of Magic Lantern, the community and help renew creativity and inspiration! ⭐
Cheers man. I got a lot of respect for the Devs & the community...so much has been given by them over the years 🙌🏾🙌🏾
This is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. The best, on a camera I have seen. This video will be like watching an old training video from the 90s in 25 years. Big props to capture the true history of this, including all the interviews. I've been following your channel and you have said recently that you were struggling with making what felt like what we all are chasing.... You found it with this. Such great work and I believe you have this video as your new launchpad to higher plateaus. The combination of all you contribute to all of the due respect you give in this documentation of ML. I'm blown away at the guest interviews and it felt nice to see other artists talk about their journey. I am grateful they all decided to work with you to create this, and honestly.. a continued series of this would be cool to see... I believe this is a part of the magic lantern torch and when you're done running, you will be able to pass on something great to your family, friends, colleagues. Thank you for this video, thank you. Very nice, it was nostalgic, up to date, rugged, truthful, educational, inspirational, impactful, humbling, visionary, and most importantly.. it was genuine. Thank you to all participating parties involved in the making of this. Beautiful creation. Can't wait to see what you cook up next!
Oh man, what a beautiful comment to wake up to. This is the kind of comment that I love to read 🙌🏾
I honestly feel that journey and the people you meet are bigger than any one of us on an individual level. When I first started out I got so much help from the community and the magic lantern community have an insane amount of knowledge.
People think it's a bunch of broke people who can't afford an expensive camera but it's actually lots of people who have a real love for creating, tinkering and building.
Thank you so much for this wonderful comment 🙏🏾
Absolutely brilliant - watched the whole thing from start to finish and your so inspiring as a documentary filmmaker. So well put together and compiled.
Thank you Stewart, you're so kind. I'm glad you watched it all, it's my longest video to date but I really wanted to show a bit of love to the community 🙌🏾
Today is Christmas and I’m getting an EOS M, focal reducer for Canon fd and 35mm lens - can’t wait to get started!! Thanks for all you ML content and tutorial creators ❤
Awesome Christmas gift 😁 and an FD lens 👌🏾. The FD lens and Eos-M is still hands down one of the best combos.
Thank you for watching.
Enjoyable documentary honoring the GREAT MLV
Thank you
Well done bro. Keep doing amazing things. Your work and builds have really elevated and breathed life again into this already amazing innovation. 😊
Hey, thank you so much man. And thank you for the studio bro, the set is amazing 🙌🏾
A great group to be involved with. Choosing to pick up and play around with the EOS M has been one of my best decisions recently. Learned loads from it and the lovely people in the group. Nice to see one of my clips make it into this too.
Yes such a wonderful group 🙌🏾 thanks for supplying the clips bro, really appreciate it.
So glad I discovered ML and this community! Thanks for amazing job!!!
Welcome to the community my brother. Thank you
A great Christmas morning watch, Merry Christmas.
Awesome 🎁 Merry Christmas to you
Great watch!
Thank you so much
Great documentary and great marketing for the new Mlite batch ♥️. The history behind ML was unknown to me so I appreciate the effort to investigate about it.
Thank you mate. It's an interesting story and one that we all face with cameras not being quite "complete".
We had so many people messaging us to get an M-Lite it was crazy. We thought one last batch for late comers and that's it 😁
Congratulation!! I liked it very much. Bravo!! 👏👏👏
Thank you Sergio, keep on being awesome brother 🙏🏾
Just Great man!! Awesome job, love it👍
Thank you man
Great work on the documentary. Found it a really interesting watch. Well done to all involved.
Thank you my brother 🙌🏾
Wow! This video is so cool. I have been following you for some time now. I am an intermediate filmmaker from Nepal. At the beginning of the career, it is so hard to buy a professional camera. So, I am planning to use canon 700D with magic lantern this year as my main camera. I have learned a lot from you. Thank you for inspiring me with magic lantern.
The 700D sounds perfect for you and I fully believe it'll give you the results you need...these cameras are perfect to start out on imo.
Thank you so much brother and I wish you lots of success with your studies and future goals.
It's my birthday today and this is the best present bro
Happy birthday my brother 🎂 hope you have a great day. Thank you so much for watching.
Well done and the history lives on 😊🎉❤
Thank you brother and absolutely. It's crazy that one guy had an idea and it spread all over the world 👌🏾
A perfect Christmas eve present. Wonderful documentary! Watching it threw me back in time ~30 years listening to Spike Lee presenting in a NYC post house. He was giving a nearly identical presentation on shooting with a Sony DV camcorder. He too talked about the freedom that came with working with a small crew. A short time later I saw him shooting in Times Square with only about 5 people. So nice to see a new generation of folks who don't wait for luck to grant them "ideal" equipment before shooting. A truly cheap camera plus free Davinci Resolve is really all one needs--plus, of course the real keys, creativity and determination. Congratulations.
Merry Christmas 🎁
This is such a good comment. We all start from somewhere and I love that you used spike lee as an example because he's considered one of the greats.
When you shoot on big productions it is very restrictive and you loose the fun but doing small things allows you to just have fun.
We definitely need to create our own opportunities and I do believe that magic lantern is a great tool that can give us those opportunities.
@@Altcine Off topic question I have a fun video I created about a guy who's work began 50 years ago--and is relevant today. How do you get ut to pick it up? When I ask they say the algorithm does it! OK How does a NEW person get its attention? Many thanks!
@@S.Mullen that's a very hard question. I'm no expert on UA-cam and "hacking" the algorithm but some people claim there's a method to it. Personally I don't know about that....the algorithm works off of people like, share, watch and comment on the video for the algorithm to do it's job so I don't think that just ANY video can go big.
I would say make sure the first 30 secs look great, do a good thumbnail and title...but Tbh I struggle with this myself 😅
@@Altcine Am I correct tha ut goes uninvited into your list of videos and examines each video? Does ut "look" at your thumbnails? All or only the first?
@@S.Mullen I believe it'll generate lists of things to watch via stuff that you watch, save, search for and what other people watch who have watched the same videos as you.
I had to unfollow lots of filmmaking and Davinci Resolve channels just to get the algorithm to show me different things.
Great job bro! Love the history part of it and all credit where is due. A must needed documentary. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks brother. Yeah it was interesting looking into Trammell. He's still active in software etc but on a much bigger scale. Thanks again 🙌🏾🙌🏾
amazing! Bravo 👏👏
Thanks man 🙌🏾🙌🏾
I’m itching to give magic lantern another chance on my eos m 😮
You should man, even if it's just for a hobby.
PLEASE DONT! ✋️for the prices they are going for you are better off just getting a 4k camera like a G85, Gh4, or Gh5, olympus E-M1 ii, the list goes on. The crop modes on EOS M will kill any benefit you get from the the larger sensor.
But if you do want RAW Video I would recommend picking up a 5D Mark ii or Mark iii which will give you the benefit of using an optical Viewfinder to find your focus when Magic Lantern will mess with the Display.
@@CallMeRabbitzUSVI he has an Eos-M already.
@@Altcine Merry Christmas big brother! And yes the best part is that I didn’t sell my eos m! It’s a great little thing that you and I know each other well enough through this camera and it’s worth every single penny, God bless you always my dear friend
@@LouisLuzuka yep, so good you kept it and it really did open up my friend list. I feel I could travel to any country, any region and know someone who lives there.
Merry Christmas brother.
This piece is nicely done (as usual), and, as others have commented, it's inspiring! It's a wonderful idea, and it is great to finally see some of the unheralded contributors behind many of the ML/EOSM advancements.
Can't wait for the E-to-EFM mount -- even without the secondary E-mount locking pin (although there might be a way to fit a lever into the limited clearance between the front of the EOSM and the mount).
Happy Holidays!
Thanks!
Yeah man, Magic Lantern is like a big machine with lots of moving parts that we rarely see.
The mount is ready, just need to test it on a few cams. We really thought hard about the locking pin but it's still quite challenging. The thing that worries me the most is the extra work dialling in the CNC and extra parts needed will drive up the price and slow down production and shipments. I really don't want another M-LITE scenario where people are waiting months for their product.
Thanks for the comment brother 🙏🏾
Fantastic man. Worked out well and not too long either. Big congratulations 🎉
Thanks man, yeah just right 👍🏾 thanks again for clip and all the work you do on the group 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Amazing Job you did here.
Thank you so much 🙌🏾
Hello, my name is Gilmar, your content creator, I use a T4i and Magic Lanter, wow, I didn't know that so many people were using it, I was very happy because among those I know, I only use Magic Lanter and an old camera like the T4i.
Hi brother, there's many more than we think. I know so many people who have used it on big productions including myself.
It's a great time to be a filmmaker.
Thank you for the comment and hope we have many more discussions.
for sure my friend I'm Brazilian I manage Davinci's whatsapp group Resolve here with the most colorful colorists in Brazil I really want to be able to share with them my work with magic lanter I'm going to follow your channel I want to improve myself with this camera thank you for all this work you do Is doing @@Altcine
The light blue outfit and how everything else is gold/bronze is awesome. Also, Zeek started another channel based solely on ministry. Just letting you know in case you were wondering.
Thanks bro, I really like this set design too.
Yes I saw Zeeks new channel ❤️🙏🏾
I had a feeling it was faith based and im sure there is good reason as to why he isn't following up on the channel or its comments, at least last i checked. @@Altcine
@@captureinsidethesound when God calls....it's silly not to answer. I remember him having some issues with his social media accounts but whatever the reason I'm glad he found his calling.
Oh, I definitely know what its like to answer God, even when He calls and i don't want to answer. Its always right when i'm about to fall asleep lol @@Altcine
Excellent work Collin! Really interesting stuff and you cover things I've offered wondered about. Thanks for all you do for the ML community man and a very Merry Christmas to you and your family
Thank you so much brother and merry Christmas. It's a fantastic community and I don't think I could ever leave 😁❤️
I have only been in the community for about a year so it was really nice to see the history. Really well made documentary that made me proud of my eos m even though I have not done much yet
All in good time brother, enjoy the process 🙌🏾 thank you for watching and glad to have you in the community.
Make sure you share some shots on the group when you feel ready.
Mate, ive just spent six hours eatching utter crap on TV and then BINGO! Check my phone and your absolute gem of a documentary pops up. Really, really enjoyed this Col. Got me thinking to getting out my eos m and perservering with ML. Not on facebook but miight have to give in and join for tje group. Thanks for doing this and all your other stuff, happy christmas mate! Great present for all of us!!!!
Hey Pete, happy Christmas 🎁.
I'm glad you enjoyed this man, I've actually been working on it for months and despite a big setback I'm happy with how it turned out.
Yeah you need to dust off that m, join Facebook under a random account and join the group....it's the easiest way to get started with ml.
I hope to see you there and have a great day🙌🏾
wow, was looking for one but got my other camera that I dreamed of but I was looking into this camera cam still in awww that I might get one for B cam but still playing with my new one not gonna say names gotta respect magic lantern and EOS
Hey bro, it's cool to say what you got....I actually want to know now 😅
SONY FX-30 incredible camera good choice I went for it because I have always been a SONY USER AND FAN @@Altcine and I have always loved super 35 I have never done full frame I stuck with what I started and im already used to it and deep into the super 35 sensor gear and options
very very nice, thank you, joy to watch
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it.
Tom: Please Start Working on a Model for the EOS- M2. 🎉
Just watched your doc cole it was informative and entertaining perfect balance leaned a lot this is better than most of the docs I've seen recently on tv well done 👍
Hey Tony, thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Have a happy new year 🎊
Thanks for this. Nicely done❗ Echo your gratitude to Trammell and those after him, but big thanks to you and Tom too for giving back/keeping the community going ‼
Thank you brother 🙌🏾
Awesome!! Congrats on the documentary, very well done. Some great creators and amazing projects, Thanks for including me.😁
Hey Chris, did you see my post on the ml group? I lost a ton of footage man...this doc was nearly 40mins long so I lost quite a lot including the interview I shot in Paris.
I've still got to update the links so I'll add yours soon . Thanks for your support brother 🙌🏾
Oh no I didn't realize, Sorry to here. I loved it, some great interviews. No worries what so ever on the link update, I haven't had as much time to spend with ML as I'd like to recently. Happy Holidays! & Thanks for sharing your love of film making with us all. @@Altcine
@@chrismel9000 thank you bro and Merry Christmas 🎁 hope you have a great day.
Oh my word they had no control over aperture shutter speed or iso in movie recording…that sounds like canon being canon even way back then 😂
Yeah lol what madness where they thinking 😂
He got Zeek up in it!!
Yeah I had to show his face otherwise it didn't feel right.
Awesome 🎉
Thank you 🙌🏾
Such awesome work man!
Thank you
This episode reminded me of Disney's Fantasia.
🎉
🎉🎉 🙌🏾
Nice 👍 I'm new to the game with my canon 700d as well, love all the tutorials and resources from the creators❤
Thank you. Yeah the community is amazing...the best. I hope everything is going well with the 700d?
@@Altcine yes, everything is going great 👍 love the video and eager to learn more and optimized the potential of my 700d with magic lantern.
@@ricewine122 awesome the 700D is the current favourite right now 👌🏾
Great job 👏
Thank you! 😃
@@Altcine this was an important project for the film community.
Wow! That footage at 16:41 looks really good. Which camara, ML version, settings, lens etc did you use? I am trying to get the same resulta using a canon t5i. I would appreciate the info. Thanks!
Eos-M in M-lite body, 1080P standard settings, meike 50mm F1.2 and Nd filter.
I don't change much like most people. I usually leave the settings alone when it comes to resolution.
Amazing work
Thank you my brother 🙌🏾
what would you recommend between the EOS m with magic lantern or the 700d with crop mood?
Both have crop mood so you're ok with either camera. It then comes down to size & lens choice.
Excellent job bro.
Much appreciated man 🙌🏾
Great DOC! Does anyone happen to know what happened to ZEEK? His videos got me into the ZCAM video and eventually led me to your videos.
Thank you so much. Zeek has moved on from making gear videos and now has a Christian ministry channel talking about the Gospels.
This is great stuff❤
Thank you so much 🙏🏾
GREAT film brother!
Thank you brother
how do you deal with moiré in the video? does eos m not have it? in 5 dm2 it is very common
Yes it's a big problem. Many people choose various different methods at reducing it but you can never eliminate it.
Most people just choose not to shoot 1080p but then you have extreme rolling shutter.
You just have to choose the right mode for the scene you're shooting.
I love your work ethics man . I 'd love to be friends with you .
Thank you brother, my door is always open and I love to meet new people. Imstagram is a better place to chat 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thanks for this - super inspiring
what are the chances that after releasing this video , someone decided to cut the official Magic Lantern site, as we speak I am no longer able to enter the site or the forum, i was literally using it for the past 2 weeks, now i get an error , not allowing me to continue :(((((
Yeah I saw that on the Facebook group today 😮 it can't be anything to do with this video though...all this information is freely available on the internet.
@@Altcine my original thought was that someone was jealous of what magic lantern achieved and decided to go against it, after I did some research I found that ML license is expiring and that's why we are having issues , I do apologize for my comment I just hoped I would get some help , respect for the video, I know is good . I am yet going to watch it tonight
@@ksz191 I just read that too 😅 hopefully it gets renewed soon. 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Mostly about users.
Yep 👍🏾👍🏾
