Looks awesome. What stands out is the color-- maybe it is just the still images. 24p, right? Not a great DOF, but it's Canon, and the fluorite makes up for it. I can achieve a similar effect, but not as much of an extent, with my GL2, and I attribute the color handling to the fluorite aspect.
I'd be really interested in seeing more! Thanks for posting!

thanks for the comments!
I like the colors too but I hated them before CC. The xl2 seems to add a greenish tone to everything. But maybe I just screwed the whitebalance
Yes it´s in 24p
And yes there isn´t much shallow dof going on but here in europe there is only the really expensive mini adapter available and I hate zooming in to the maximum for getting it without an adapter. Zooming in helps but it changes the picture. I mean there is a reason why people who shoot on film use different lenses. In my opinion the faces look flatter and you have the feeling you are not really there.
I love shallow dof as much as everybody here but I´d rather get an adapter for my next project than film my actors from five miles away
Video is video. I mean I know nobody wants to see that but video will always look like video! Except you got a dvx the andromeda system and an adapter. then you will live a happy and fulfilled life and make non-budget movies that look just like film

you can get some decent shallow DOF with the xl2. Make sure you open up your aperture the most and use a ND or shutter speed to compesate for 2 much light. Also if you want extreme DOF and you need to use a longer focal length to get it a sterdier tripod will help with teh feeling of being distant, i know there is no way to replace the field of view you loose with a longer focal length but you can still get excellent results without an adapter. Also dont be afraid to get close to a subjects feature, video is a close up medium and this will give you more options with DOF. 1st and 3rd pic look very nice!

These grabs are decent, some overexposed and a little amaetuer in the framing etc. Work on practical lighting and framing when you shoot, also, the 1st and 3rd look good out of the bunch. Good luck!
