Three of the raw files from the prototype Canon EOS 5D MKII - files straight out of the camera - that were used in “Reverie” short film - are now available for download to your hard drives. (*Please Read Important Note Below for SPECIFIC LIMITATIONS OF USE.)

To access these go to this following link here.

You will need the latest Quicktime player to view these - and many of you may have a hard time playing these at full resolution without top of the line systems - given the heavy amount of 30 fps 1920 x 1080 pixel data that is contained within each file.

UPDATE: We’ve broken 500 comments asking for 24p/25p  - awesome. You’ve all made the point loud and clear. I wanted to share a few thoughts with you…

First of all - I’ve had a chance to work with a lot of cool companies these past few years - in the development of both software and hardware - and if there’s one thing I’ve learned (actually two):

1. You need to find out right away if something is technically (im)possible - is what you’re asking for something that the hardware / software can do… obvious - but easy to overlook - don’t waste your energy pushing for something that simply can’t be done…

2. You need to request only ONE thing… THE most important thing to you. And STAY FOCUSED ON THAT - so that they understand you are willing to give up on the 5-30 other features you are dying for… if you don’t do that - you’ll overwhelm them… and they’ll ignore you.  Well they might not exactly ignore you - but remember that other people are asking for different things as well.. if you’re enough of a “pro” to ask just for one thing and let the other things go - they know that “the” one feature truly is KEY to you.

So for now… 24/25p should be the ONE request in my opinion. (more…)
