End of film reel look
Hi Guys
Keep seeing the effect of the end of a reel of film where the colours (usually reds or oranges) flicker in from the sides and eventually envelope the screen. Have a project shot on my own super 8mm where this effect would look fantastic. If anyone has any tips, hints or suggestions it would be much appreciated.
Thanks

It’s usually just bought footage from a stock video company.
Most of them have collections of film damage, leaders, camera flashes etc.Not necessarily dirt cheap, but trying to fake it with, say, fractal noises , lensflares, or “CC Burn Film”, will never give you anything but a stylized version of the real thing.

I agree with Filip. You can do it, but it looks much better with stock footage – stuff you can get from Artbeats Film Clutter, for example.
That said, give it a try – create some solids (Red and Yellow) move them to the sides of the shot. Mask them off so their shapes are irregular, and animate them moving up the side of the screen very quickly. Or instead of moving them, have different shapes flash on the side. Make sure to set your solids to the Add transfer mode – makes a huge difference in feeling like it’s part of the clip.
Then start having them flash in the middle of the image as well. This should all happen over the course of maybe 1-2 seconds.
Then add a film flash transition, such as you can find in
