The film was written and directed by a U.S. Army vet of Afghanistan and I believe Iraq. It doesn't really take any political sides but rather talks about military life after warfare.

Sounds great. Can't wait to hear more. Looking good though.

Beautiful lighting, great job.

Just remember not to try to demonize our guys - I guess I'm just saying that cause I'm joining the marines next year. Last thing we need is an American version of "The valley of the wolves Iraq". :D

Well I can vouch for the DVX because I use one but if you want to film in widescreen you might want to look at the XL2 or for the same price of a DVX you could step up and get a Sony FX-1(native 16:9 widescreen) however the FX doesn't have 24p. Maybe try and see if you can borrow or rent both cameras and do a comparison yourself.

Do you know if the XL2 includes both 24p and 16:9 widescreen?

And yeah, I was planning on renting out both cameras to see which might suit my needs better.

I'm new to cinematography. I took a film class last semester in my high school; and though it was mainly film theory, I got the opportunity to use the XL-1. Now that I'm out of the class, I've been filming with a relatively cheap Sony miniDV. I want to step it up; for a few days now, I've been searching through several forums and film sites for comparisons between the Cannon XL family and the Panasonic?s DVX100. I want a camera that can shoot 24p (which, I believe, applies to both the XL2 and the DVX100), but I also want to film in widescreen. Again, I don't know much about DV cameras, but I'll be willing to learn.
