 HBO documentary Inside Out profiles the work of street artist JR, whose large scale portraiture has been gracing city walls for years. Recently, JR launched a user-generated initiative that allows for others to create and display their own portaits.
Explains Hugh Hart of Fast Company's Co.Create, "To crowdsource the globally scaled outdoor portrait gallery, JR created the insideout.com website where people can upload photographs taken on everything from smartphones to high-end cameras. In Paris, JR’s team downloads the pictures, enhances the quality with a polka-dot background to ensure a consistent look, and prints out large-format images. These posters are snail-mailed back to contributors who exhibit locally on freeway underpasses, abandoned buildings, junked cars, and derelict billboards."

EOSHD writes up their experience shooting 2.5K CinemaScope anamorphic raw on the Canon 5D Mark III.
They write, "Am I over the moon about the image quality of raw on the 5D Mark III?
"Well before we were shooting 8bit, with all that banding and lack of flexibility in post. Now we have 14bit colour and can debayer the raw to 4:4:4 EXR using the full power and sophistication of an ILM workstation. That’s a bit of a step up from DIGIC 5. Effectively the image processor of the camera has been moved out of the DSLR and into the realm of Resolve, Intel and NVidia. That is a big thing. No more DIGIC debayer or mushy H.264 encoder.
"Dynamic range and overall quality is pretty much identical to the 22MP raw stills on the 5D Mark III so you can imagine what a step up this is for any league of video camera, let alone one costing $3000. That Canon sensor is doing a very good job indeed and I am amazed."

Dan Chung of News Shooter explores what Magic Lantern's Canon DSLR raw hack means in terms of actual production. He writes, "Does the 5D RAW hacked replace cameras like the C300, F3, F5 or FS700 in regular documentary or corporate production? Of course not. But used appropriately, it may have a place. If your shot is repeatable, you have time to redo it if something goes wrong, you don’t need the results in a hurry and are prepared to post-process, and you are not overly worried about potentially damaging your camera or invalidating your warranty, then give it a try. You don’t have to run the hack the whole time, so if you are a 5D shooter then it is a useful trick to have that doesn’t add any weight to your kit bag."
