Canon GL2 + Magic Bullet First TEST

[curtismichael14]

why would you get this $3000 camera?, the video quality is horrible, my canon hv40 has better quality than this

[MikeToTheOhh]

@curtismichael14 ita actualy available for like 1000 now..

i got mine for 900

[MikeToTheOhh]

@curtismichael14 oh and he did something wrong in the setings because the quality of mine is like 300 times better

Load in 1080p and crop your scenes - it will look dynamic - 480p kills the true potential of your work.

[armandoluke209]

reminds me of silent hill 4

[borderlinemedia1]

looks horrible tbh.

[AsianStvex]

Do you know those people you film?(man on phone)

[elholandes]

the sound makes it look like amateur. Maybe it was the compression of the video that makes it hard to see the difference.

[brett123]

how did you get this look ( like i said earlier) it looks like some action movie or war film or something thats fast I cant describe it to much but I would love to know how to get this effect

[walagers]

Well i totally love the GL2 but i got scammed online, but instead got a JVC GZ-HD3U and im loving it. (HD) too

[mikeydoo01]

it looks like frame mode, the gl2 has a menu setting to give it that sped up shutter look. but most cameras you can speed up the shutter, but you lose some of your light

[theyoungsocialist]

I can't wait to get one. I am making a studio for under 500 dollars (excluding the camera of course) any suggestions for a new prosumer like myself?

[SanitySource]

a good set of lights and a good mic. i use worklights 500w and umbreella's to bounce the light and the rode videomic, the one that fits onto the canon hv20

[DJEDI296]

Looks good, but I agree on the DVX comment. i love my DVX (it's the original, not the A or B).

[motumbu2]

Check out my newest GL2 footage and tell me what you think:

.../watch?v=1U_cuJ58G4A (can't seem to use links...)

or just search for "TOM - a short film"

[brett123]

The look of this video looks like a action movie , it might be the frames per second but looks good

[craigmancoolface]

I have the GL-2 and yes I have experienced the rewind error. Apparently it causes a piece to wear out while rewinding. Soon after you get dirty tape head errors, remove tape errors and then just corrupted footage.

[mdfilms508]

dude your supposed to use a seperate camera for playback and uploading like any crappy one chip

[eSsk8r17]

have you expierienced any problems with your rewind? cqause i read many reviews and some of them said it has a bad rewind system and it will say remove cassete? have u expirenced it cus im lookin to get this camera

[motumbu2]

Not yet

[kentuckymakers44]

Lordybob, I just bought the vx2100, and trust me not many people are spending 2000 on a camera. They are very much still professional. Not many can make the jump nessesary as well to shoot hdv or hd footage...5000 camera, 3000 comp, tripod, lighting, etc etc etc.

[motumbu2]

Thanks for your responses!

I have no use for an HDV camera cause it is not yet something we have in my country...

Although I would love to get my hands on these canon XH-A1...

[Lordybob]

hey man. Turn of auto gain control and open the iris up full. shutter speed at 50/70 or something. NTSC to 24p will never look as good as film/ or HDV. Remember, minidv is now prob the lowest consumer thing (apart from minidvd, EEEEUUURRRGGHH!!)

[hausteiner]

minidvd - gross! lol

[30Secondsto182]

well i got the camera a little over a month ago and i have just been learnin and reading about it. not really testing but im gonna start

[30Secondsto182]

i love my gl2.. havent filmed much with it yet but im gonna start doing some tests

[motumbu2]

It is quite amazing though in low light I haven't figured out a way to make it noise-free. any suggestions?

Right now I'm working on how to transform my NTSC to 24p with Magic bullet...

This just doesn't look good when I do it, something to do with output format...

[parkonhouses]

get lights. if you must shoot in low light there's nothing you can do
