Hi, This is my first message on your board.
I have been looking around the forum but cant see much information on DV filming.
I have just bought a Cannon XL1 and am hoping to make short films on it.
Will the quality be of a professional enough nature to put a showreel together.
Also how does it compare to 35 film and can it be tranferred to film?
Thanks
Changed due to popular demand!!!
Yeah the XL1 is good enough for sure, check out the imdb.com "28 Days Later" was shot on one!, only the last scene was 35mm!
Hey let me know where you can buy it from ?:)? I've been searching the internet for 10 mins and can't find anyone selling them?:I?
Pretty sure that the XL1 is out of production now: you'd have to find one used, or buy an XL2.
Movies shot on the XL-1 and transfered to film:
Party Monster - 2003
Julien Donkey Boy - 1999
Full Frontal - 2002
Final - 2002
The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra - 2004
28 Days Later - 2002
Jackass - 2000
