Still looks pretty good!

Giganova, nice video, how did you mount the mic to hf10?

I built my own adapter for the mini-shoe. Here's how it looks like:

wow, it seem very nice man

Very cool visuals!

In order to do anything with HD, I have to use Quicktime, since my versions of iMovie and Final Cut Pro are too old...

it's my understanding that iMovie '08 doesn't work natively with 24p... you'd need final cut pro

Christopher -- I hear that a lot that iMovie or Final Cut Express cannot handle footage with a frame rate of 24p. However, this clip was shot in 24p mode and exported to a 24 frame rate file, so there don't seem to be problem. Maybe it's because the HF10 24p mode is not a "true" progressive frame rate. In any case, it works fine for me using iMovie 08 and FCE. I prefer the 24p mode in combination with the "cinema" settings on the HF10. It's much more "film-like".

Where did you get the matte box for your camera... and how did you make the mic mount.. I understand if its a trade secret..

Geoff -- the matte box is a Cokin Series A filter holder with a modular hood.

I built the mic mount myself using some parts (a screw, some washers, nuts and a plastic spacer) from the hardware store. For some stupid reason, Canon decided to have a mini-shoe, so regular shoe mounts won't fit.

This seems very colorful and vivd for "Cinemode". Did you post-process color etc when editing?

No post processing. The cinemode has much more subtle colors compared to the other modes, and a lower contrast. Here's a comparison between the cinema and other modes:
