Canon XL2 Test Footage 24p 16:9

This is just some test footage I shot around my workplace with my new Canon XL2.

It was shot in true 16:9 and in 24P. I took great pains to capture, edit and export it properly, so what you are seeing should be a true 24p file. (Although I'm not sure what happens to it once it hits youtube).

The music was just an edited piece from Band Of Horses called "The Funeral" which I cut together to loop.

This isn't a P&K Production, just test footage. I uploaded it because I have searched for it in the past and figured it could be helpful to others who may be interested in the XL2.

looks nice alot.!! how did you get those high-def bars to occur?? is that natural , or acheived through editing?

[TheWestTower]

Thanks. Are you referring to the black bars at the top and bottom? I shot the footage in widescreen (16:9), so to get it on youtbe and not have the picture get squished i had to add the bars to keep it in proportion.

what's the diff between shooting 2:3 and 2:3:3:2 ? why did you shoot this in 2:3:3:2 ?

To make it HD all u need to do is export it in 720p and ur 16:9 will look shocking good

what did you use to capture it and edit? it would help a lot if you let me know i'm considering buying this cam.

whats the song?

I liked your shots....but it would have been so much cleaner with a tripod and using the follow focus feature. I like your shots, great....and Im rating you 5*'s cause I love this camera, but if you are going to use such a magnificant creation, use it the way it was meant to be used!!!!
