That was my argument a few months back. I still tend to think so. The mini35 is great, but it has always seemed like something that doesn't quite fit to me.

But the dvd was made from a film transfer, which I was a bit upset about. I mean, why go through that film step when the digital files exist? It seemed like a waste to me, ostensibly just to make the image look grainier.

Yeah, but I heard the 28 days was not totally shot with an XL1s. I think the end was shot on film (I may be wrong).

Re: DVX100 with mini35 adapter.
None of it was shot on the XL1s. It was shot on the original XL1, up to 8 of them at a time.
The very end sequence, where he wakes up in the cottage (and is subtitled "28 days later..." again) was shot on 35mm.

Re: DVX100 with mini35 adapter.
There was also some inserts done on 35.
Pretty kooky version of the ending with the chicken,, dont know if that was a joke or if they were trying to be serious.

Re: DVX100 with mini35 adapter.
IMDB states in the tech details that the film was shot with:
Canon XL-1S PAL (of course)
The DVD commentary also mentions the XL1s.
I'm not saying I know for sure, but I would like to get to the bottom of this. I read and watched alot about the making of this picture and it always mentions the XL1s and NEVER mentions film.
Also, it was up to 10 XL's.
Again, I'm not disputing anything here, I would like to see if we can't get this confirmed somehow?
AMERICAN CINEMATOGRAPHER confirms that "28 Days Later" was shot with an XL1 with an OPTEX B4-XL adaptor and some CANON EC and EJ Hi-Def primes.
A hundred sources says XL1 and the other hundred says XL1s...
Somebody call Danny Boyle!

Re: DVX100 with mini35 adapter.
I gurantee you some shots where film.. Canon wishes some of those scenes (specially the ending) where done with the XL1. If you watch the DVD BTS stuff you can see some 35's kicking around on set as well.
Remember, this wasn't a low budget feature, there was no reason to use the XL1 other than the look it gave and the fact that the creators are kinda kooky like that.
As for the XL1 or XL1s, it doesnt really matter.. both cameras have the same CCD's and the XL1s just ads some extra settings like color gain and sharpness... not that big of a deal, not even as dramatic of an upgrade as the DVX100A.

Re: DVX100 with mini35 adapter.
That's true. Xl1 or Xl1s Pal is still an Xl1!
Well, I would still have rather seen it done with the DVX! Maybe it's up to me to make the next kick ass Zombie film with the Pani.
Funny though, how all over the web there is this "misinformation". I wonder if the aerial scenes were shot film or DV?

yes.. it's the telephone effect.. as information travels from site to site little tidbits get added or removed and eventually you get a totally different story.

This time next year, the headlines will read:
Director John Hudson's new horror film was shot using the camera obscura.

The American Cinematographer article is what I'm taking as most accurate, since it's a direct interview with the guy who shot it, so he should know.
In it, it mentions XL1 cameras, which is quite surprising, I would have expected the XL1s. The IMDB can be inaccurate, it all depends on how accurate the source of the information is (I've entered stuff in there, so I know just about anyone can!)
35mm was unquestionably used for the end shot.

Re: DVX100 with mini35 adapter.
yes... and sometimes people simply say XL1 when they are talking about a XL1S as sometimes they imagine people dont really care that much..

Re: DVX100 with mini35 adapter.
Guys, hey i know i'm a newbie here, and i've really wanted to know about how the dvx + P+S tek combo would work out, however if you dont have the money to buy a P+S how about.....
Long ago, long long (hell you get the idea) anywayz whilst "surfing" in terms of internet surfing as opposed to actual surfing i.e getting all excited and wet (hmm.. same thing could be said about internet surfing too, depends on what kinda websites you go to
)
err.. yes anyway i happen to trip over the P+S a while back and thought hey why cant i just shove my camera into the viewfinder of a SLR camera and record that. So i scrambled madly into the garage and like a drug addict started seeking the one (SLR camera).. eventually found it try it, worked kinda, but there was all this black darkness in the corners so gave up on the whole idea.
BAck to present time..
again whilst surfing quite recently on another furom (i know shame, shame on me) on a website that shall remain unnamed..
what did i discover? well, seems great minds thinks alike..
it seems some guy (Agus Casse) thought hey i aint gonner pay that kinda of money, i'll build one for $15 bucks.... and he did.
Now his making a tutorial on how to make one, and some people have already made on for a sony vx2k or similar and the results well judge for your self and decide for yourself...
heres the link read the whole post all the way through: (very interesting)

Re: DVX100 with mini35 adapter.
This is really amazing!!!!
Great to see it work on a DVX.
Note you might have a problem playing some of the video/wmv files. If you do "Save target as...desktop"
this will allow you to view the AWESOME look of this tool.
Anyone want to build one for me???

Re: DVX100 with mini35 adapter.
;D
I told ya that, this is something Veery interesting....
i think i'll wait for the tutorial and then make a proper version using metal as opposed to using cardboard, hell i just use the CNC's/ CAD/CAMS at my Uni, the construction should be dead easy, i'll lathe some supprort rods and connecting bush, actually....
if anyone can send me some CAD design (to engineering standard BS308)
i'll try and build one, i.e based on Agus Casse principle (not using CD spindles duh!! of course
)
anyone in?
;D

Re: DVX100 with mini35 adapter.
For optimum image capture is the DVX-100A PAL the best choice? If so, is the 25p to 24p and Pasl to NTSC onerous?
