    Does anyone know if there is a hand-crank plugin? I’m trying to get that Tony Scott look without having to manually create it for every shot in the film.

    Time-Remap and Levels will get you some hand crank. Set your footage to speed up (to simulate the the camera slowing down and vice versa), then set your levels to ramp up at the same time, bring the black level up but bring the gamma up more to really blow out the footage.

    They also used double exposure for some of the shots. You will have to experiment with blending modes combined with opacity levels.

    Unless you do it in camera you are going to have to do it in post to all the shots for which you want the effect.

    THanks Ryan, this is what I was afraid of. Lots of shots but I’m up to the task.
