Old Movie/Film look / 8mm film

[Mark Suszko]

I have been super-pleased with the simple film effects plug-ins from Nattress to get these film effects. And they are easier to customize IMO than an aftereffects project.

Hi there,

thanks for the reply. Sorry, I should have mentioned that I’m using CS3 and I really can’t buy plugins!

Mark: is this Nattress plugin free?

Is there anything I can do in aftereffects?

Hi Charmaine,

If you like the look of Andrew Kramer’s 8mm sample, I would suggest simply looping that sample. It’s worked out well for me. I just turn on time remapping for the 10-second clip, alt-click the stopwatch next to the “Time Remap” property and add the expression: loopOut(“cycle”)

From there, you can stretch the footage to cover any length you desire, and because the footage is so jumpy and random to begin with, no one will really notice the looping.

I hope that’s helpful. Cheers!
