    Hi folks —

    I’m sure that this question has been asked many times, so I apologize in advance — please point me in the right direction if there are other threads that address this…But:

    I wondered if anyone could share some tips and tricks for recreating the sort of stilted motion, weird reddish saturation, and overexposure that occurs at the end of a roll of 16mm film? I am trying to make something look as accurately as possible like a washed-out, projected 16mm film, and this would really be the clincher.

    Thanks very much in advance,
    Matt

    Several options –

    1. You could create in AE if you really want to get creative and spend some time analyzing what you need and how best to extract from AE.
    or
    2. Download stock elements from any one of a number of over-priced footage sites.
    or
    3. Get the real deal. Not the quickest method. Find old film on ebay – if you dont have any – get it digitized and cut the leaders out. You can then play around with compositing modes and multiple image overlays to achieve.

    Best of luck.

    How do you not see that you are answering your own question?

    Stilted motion? Sounds like dynamic movement over close keyframes.
    Reddish saturation? Sounds like an animated Hue & Saturation effect.
    Overexposure? Sounds like an animated Exposure effect.
