Making modern digital still look like its from the 80’s.

[Todd Reid]

I would thing the opposite regarding de-saturation. I remember everything being bright and neon during the 80’s. If your trying to match film in general, yes desaturate, but when I hear 80’s, I’m thinking saturation should be high.
same goes for applying grain. I don’t associate either of those things with the 80’s.
Think of new wave videos, that’s what comes to my mind when you say “from the 80’s”

Not sure what your going for, but if its 80’s video go vibrant, but try to match bad lighting.

hope this helps

I can contribute a bit of inspiration, thanks to the Mill. Yeah, I know it’s not quite what you’re asking, but here you go:

I assume telling you that my digital images of today are about the same as the images from the many rolls of Kodachrome64 35mm I shot in the eighties doesn’t really help?

cheers.
