  • Creating “Kung Fu” old film style in FCP

    Posted by Travis Chesney on July 11, 2009 at 10:54 pm

    Hi all,

    I am attempting to make a scene look ancient, as the setting is Ancient China. I have used Threshold, Sepia and Noise to give it a certain old style to it, but can’t seem to get it just right. I know older Kung Fu films have such a look due to how they were shot, but if anyone can offer any suggestions, I’m always happy to hear them. I can also take the footage into AE if necessary. Thanks!!!

    Nattress G film has a preset for old film which you can tweak a lot.

    Have a wonderful day.

    just slip the dialog 15-45 frames out of sync and everyone will know what you where going for. 🙂

    My usual response:
    Be careful with “old film” effects. A little goes a very long way with today’s sophisticated audiences.
    There’s a big difference between applying a stylistic look and feel to some footage and trying to make it look like it is old film.
