Future ‘look’
When you see a scene that plays in the future, a kind of dreamlike, whitish sphere is created, usually defocused around the edges.
What would be the best way to create a futuristic feeling for a scene, purely by use of filters.
Anyone suggestions for filters I can use? (it’s an otherwise boring scene of a medium/wide shot of a man making a call with a cellphone in a non-descript room)
thanks,
Wolf

Whoever moved the post: then move the answer as well!! Now no one can learn from it.
Also interesting that the use of filters to create certain effects is considered ‘basic’. I wasn’t just looking for the dreamlike effect- perhaps someone had a better, more ‘telling’ combination of filters…

I don’t know WHAT happened to this thread.
I answered it and now my answers are GONE.
I’ll check further.
Sorry.

My mistake. I attempted to move the thread, and just moved the post.
Apologies, all. I’ll be much more careful in the future.

Sorry you didn’t like my answers.
At least we found out what happened to them.
FLUSHED!
That’ll teach me to give a sub-standard reply.

[Matte] “FLUSHED!”
It’s simply not true. I’ve said now in 2 forums that I made a mistake, and I apologized in both of those forums.
I apologize again here, and ask that the thread be returned to the topic at hand. Let the high-quality, highly informative on-topic posts to continue to flow, unclogged and unflushed.
If you or anyone else has anything to discuss regarding my clumsiness, please do so via my direct email, tim at creativecow dot net.
You should also feel free to call my cell phone, 617 nine four seven 4733. If I’m awake, the phone is on, and I’m happy to talk.
Best,
Tim

I was JOKING about “flushed.”

Good. 🙂
In fact, I was about to edit my last post to have the subject line be “I’m an idiot.”
But that’s clearly now evident to all. 🙂

Matte- I loved your answer! It was extremely useful and told me exactly what I needed to create that dreamlike effect!! And you even included pictures.
I feel extremely ungrateful and apologize.I merely wanted to tell -Tim, I guess- that maybe someone had another suggestion that could be purely interpreted as ‘the future’ and not as ‘dreamlike’ as well. Dreamlike was all the filtering technique I could think of to depict ‘the future’…
Jeez, what a story… and so many tears shed in this thread…
So once again, thank you, Matte, and may you live long, prosperous and generous as you are.
