  • Fifties camera flashes – Going on with the final shots

    Posted by Michele Poggi on April 18, 2013 at 10:30 am

    Hi guys. 😉 I posted almost a week ago a topic about some brainstorming concerning the reproduction of realistic ’50 flashes.

    I come up with this material, now that I got the final shots and I’m compositing for real, does they “feel” like fifties cameras? How could I make them more “old-looking”? The duration and intensity should be alright, but any advice will be grealtly appreciated, thanks as always for the feedback. =)

    IMO, you’ve done a pretty good job-you will really sell it with the appropriate sound effect.

    I think it looks good – my take would be to raise the intensity a bit. John is right though- the right sound effect will sell this to the viewer.

    Wowh, thank you. 😉 Ok, I’ll then refine it a little as suggested by Ted. My next shot will be an “in camera” flash, so I’ll probably play with some flares. Maybe I’ll upload it as well.

    It is really useful to hear your opinions, thanks for your time guys.
