How to achieve this look?
-
As I get bored with ultra clean looking modern cameras, I often sit down for extended spells to do the most convincing bad telecine/vintage 16/35 looks I can come up with. Spent a LOT of time doing that 🙂

By far, one of the most interesting threads here.
Keep it coming guys.

Well I stand corrected. In my defense, I couldn’t seem to see this thing in the resolution that everyone else could… was there some trick? The link to me looked like 480P.

woohoo, I guessed it! Juan, you owe me a beer. 🙂
But I’m definitely going to give Nate’s suggestions a whirl on my next session.

Personally, this notalentwannabe hopes people don’t imitate this look. We are STILL enduring shaky cam, movies and stills that are too vivid and sharpened, and superfluous lens flares.
Now we have to endure stuff that resembles log not graded.
ARRRRRRRGH!!
Oh, and green inside shots that take us out of the story.
Surely there is an old saying about crap imitating art.

Which I have seen either tack-sharp to the extent of *why would you bother with 35?* or *OMG, was the lens loose in the mount*? Which wouldn’t be too dissimilar to a swing-tilt.
Anyway, this discussion is sort of orbiting around another thread on another forum regarding production methods and art:
https://www.messynessychic.com/2013/06/06/the-reclusive-peeping-tom-photographer-and-his-cardboard-camera/For a super-grungy look, I recall transferring a thousand feet of low-speed B&W that was hand-processed in a bucket. For a skateboard video, what else? No, definitely not a shampoo commercial for dolly-bird who is “worth it”.
So, there is no genre, no matter how “edgy” and “attitude” that eventually doesn’t succumb to its own clichés.
And then we get Audra McDonald dropping the mike at the end of the Tony Awards on Sunday night. Was that really appropriate? Or “art?”
