Great stuff, can't wait to see the flick. Bring on the balls Nick.

And that's a Canon XL-1, right?

This was just filming for an EPK for investors. No way we'd shoot this on a consumer camera. We're shooting on 35mm.

That was an XL1, though.

Yeah, I was about to ask if you kids were shooting Digital or Film.

But isn't that an XL2?

Looks just like my XL-1. Although I haven't seen an XL-2 or know if there were any significant design changes.

It's an XL1s.

My Faith No More shirt, however, would appear to be an XXXL. 6'2"/236 pounds never looked so fucking handi-capable. At least I don't look like an OBEAST in the second photo.

By the way, Nick - it's a PROsumer camera. If it's good enough for Girls Gone Wild and Cheaters...

The XL2 looks like the same camera from afar - but it could go through two oil drums and still come out the other side and kill a guy. It's a bit heavier, but only because it seems to be made of stronger stuff. For example - the selector ring on the side (controls power and settings) of the XL1 is made of plastic.

On the XL2 - it's metal, and it features a safety catch so the ring doesn't turn on accident. It's that sort of thing that makes the whole package feel sturdier. It's also got a 20x zoom instead of the 16x on the XL1.

It makes me cry and sad that I threw in for the XL1 three months before the XL2 hit the market - but at the same time, I love my camera. It has served me well.

Also:

NEVER FORGET URBAN YETI!

Ask anyone who was there, baby. I can hit.

I cannot tall, however.

Christ, is that a small camera or does Fischer have giant sasquatch hands?

Gigantor hands. If it's any similar to the XL2, it's a decent size.

What you can't see is me behind Ryan giving her advice on hitting. Yeah, that's what I'm doing behind her...

And strangely enough, I almost wore my Rollerball shirt too. Ended up wearing an older CHUD shirt.

Now what am I supposed to do with the mental image of you sitting around, dejected, in a klansmen's outfit?

Any chance of another LA Readthrough?

I don't think Detox could handle the volume another readthrough would generate.

There's no need for another out there. We may do additional casting out there, but I dunno.

It's a shame you guys are stuck on doing 35mm. I understand that more than a few backwards executives are stuck on the idea that 35mm is the only way a "serious" movie can be made...but I think going to Video, even Hi-Def would make this something you guys could fund a lot easier. Unless I missed an update and you guys got funding, in which case congrats, and dismiss what I said.

I suppose my point is, Eastwood almost shot Sands of Iwo Jima on Mini-DV (The decision ultimately came down to matching Flags and not a quality comparison), a lot of great festival circuit films are getting done on DV. It would be more than good enough for this.

I was about to say that I've seen, and shot, Mini-DV stuff from an XL-2 that used 35mm lenses and the outcome was amazing.

And today I got word that some new XD High Def cams can "Ramp Up" to 60 frames?! I nearly came. Nearly.

No more shitty slow motion in post!
