Where to see XL1S Footage?
I'm not talking about "Full Frontal" either.
Been there,done that-I was very dissapointed that Soderbergh wasn't trying to achieve the "film look" with the XL1S-he basically just treated it like an overly expensive VHS-C cam. No,I'm talking about footage where someone exploited it to its full potential. Web sites? Videos?Suggestions? They would be highly appreciated! Thank you! A. |
A.,
Here's a clip of mine. Shot on the xl1s in my studio. Download the movie to view it at full size (the mac.com viewer shrinks the video size somewhat). http://homepage.mac.com/barrygoyette/iMovieTheater1.html Barry |
Hi Barry,
I'm curious to know which lens you used on your camera? Also what filters/pluggins where used in post. I'm sure lots of us could gain much knowledge from eachother. Thanks- Nori |

Sorry I was out of town for a few days, just catching up on the boards. Here's the rundown: Canon xl1s..Stock IS-II lens. Manual focus and exposure. -3db gain. No filtration...I've done some color, sharpness and contrast work in FinalCut Pro (see below), but essentially, it was shot straight. Concert footage was white balanced on a yellow kodak film box to make it go blue. I haven't used any special plugins, just standard effects available in FCP. Here's a description of the main compositing technique I use to control color and contrast. http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.php?s=&postid=25729#post25729 (4th post down from the top) Barry |
barry....are you using a PAL XL1-S??? a freind of mine has a PAL, I see the
difference in resoltion between each format..maybe the PAL is sharper or "cleaner"..due to is higher resolution. |

No, I'm using the NTSC version...I don't have any experience with the pal version...so I don't know whether it's sharper or not... my clip is probably a bad way to evaluate this aspect of the camera, as there is quite a bit of post processed blurring and sharpening going on...(not one cut is "straight"), as well as significant compression with sorensen 3..which tends to soften things a bit.
