8mm film exposure effect

[Robert Paynter]

Looks like you could play with keying your Levels or Exposure (both under color correction) with some kind of ambient blurred background.

[David Van brink]

Interesting!

Another artifact visible in the clip you reference is “color fringing”. Stop on the frame where the text is up close, and we see a bit of blue/orange on it.

You can do a simple rgb fringe by taking three copies of your clip, each multiplied by pure red, green, and blue, and use Add -mode to stack them back up. Distort each one a little differently, such as with slightly different Spherize amounts.

Or use more or fewer colors to get a more or less rainbowed effect, as long as the total rgb adds to “white”. Or doesn’t!

to do this quickly you could try to use andrew kramers blow out pre set, as said above there are other (and maybe better as this is not intended for this effect) ways to do this but you could probably tweak it a bit and maybe get what you need.

Cheers for the tips guys.

Iv actually been experimenting with glow blobs, to get this effect. Im not that far off, but im not that familiar with this effect. I manage to get a blob with a similar shape. However the movement of the blob and the glow radius are completely out. Can anybody push me in the right direction?

Also, where can i locate Andrew Kramer’s blow out preset?

many thanks again for your time!

you can get it at https://www.videocopilot.net/presets.html?id=71

I also have a tutorial about creating a very similar effect (the film flash effect) which you can find here:

I may have missed someone else saying this, but Artbeats offers this sort of thing in its packages called Film Clutter and Film Clutter 2.

Yea. Have noticed one or two different sites that offer these sort of effects pre made, however they on offer them in SD and I need them in HD :S

I have been messing around with some features in after effects, blobs / fractal noise. Im might be getting somewhere, but its slow.

Any extra tips would be greatly appreciated

Actually, just double checked that artbeats collection you just recommended, and realized that the effects im looking for (and the ones i used for an example) are the ones included in film clutter 1!

Unfortunately i don’t have $500 to throw at this problem. Its very annoying as i have access to Film Clutter 2 at work!!

back to the drawing board.

Change the mode from 8bpc to 32bpc, and create a pale orange (pure orange won’t work as well… add a bit of white to the orange), and add exposure and gaussian blur… then create a mask in the shape of a circle for the orange layer. You will get a similar effect to those light leaks. You will have to animate them yourself, perhaps using Mercury still… but it will give you the exposure look
