Gradient Bending is vary annoying, I found it that if you make your gradient in Photoshop and add the noise filter it helps a lot.
If you are in Final cut you will need to do some more work.
To your gradient layer apply a “Add Noise” filter.
You will need to mess around with the settings here a bit.
-Bring down the Amount, I have it at 1.4
-Type: White noise (Uniform) works fine
-Blend mode, I used Overlay
-Autoanimate, Unchecked, we want eh noise not to move
-Mix, if you want even less noise bring down the “opacity” here.It’s a fine line you want the eliminate the bending of the colors but you want the image to stay crisp.
Hope this helps,

Hey RUssell,
The opening from Tosh.0 looks like a perfect use of C4D and MoGraph.
Here is a link to something that may help in getting there:

If you go with a Nikon lens you will also need an adapter, $10-$35. The Nikon do have a solid build and a better focus ring.
But also canon will have a direct link to your camera, you will have the auto focus if you want to snap some photos in a rush. So ya it is a hard call.
Ok rather then make this easier on you and giving you a straight answer I’ll make things a little more complicated with this link, SORRY!

I was thinking Mocha is the tool for this, or Mocha AE can do the same thing with a little Photoshop work but sounds like getting the pro version will make this job a lot easier

The 50 f1.8 is a good buy, it is really really hard to ride the focus on it because of there the ring is located. I love going out at night and shooting video in the city and that lens is amazing for it.
I would stay away from zoom lenses for doing video with your DSLR, if you must get a zoom make sure it is not a variable aperture. Unfortunately the fixed-aperture will make the lens more expensive.
Prime is the way to go tho for video.
Out of my lenses I like my Nikon the best, I use it with a canon mount adapter. The build is solid, the focus ring is rubber and easy to find, and the price was amazing.
The list of lenses you have I would go for the 50, the rest ummmm not so much. Also look into prime manual Nikon lenses absolutely amazing for video DSLR use.
here are a few good articles:

I noticed that at first the metering is not active but if you press and hold the shutter button half way it will activate the meter, and you can adjust accordingly from there.
Let me know if that worked,

mhhhh it should work the same as the 5D footage.
The only suggestion I would have is to make a Disk Image of the card onto your harddrive using Disc Utility. Eject the Card and mount the image then open final cut and try the L&T.
Let me know if that works I would be curious to know what the problem was.
Best of luck,
