Output at 24 frames in a DV format

[Michael Phillips]

If not shot at 24fps to begin with, it is a combination of a several things. Some of it has to do with the original lighting, composition, and camera moves.

In post, you can apply the FluidFilm effect from the FluidMotion tab – this creates a true 2:3 cadence from your 60 field material and keeps sync with your audio. Apply the effect to each video element and not a top track as transition can get pretty funky.

Then you can apply filters from Boris, Digital Film Tools, Sapphire, to give it a film grain, softly blown out whites, etc.

Some of this can also be achieved using color correction and applying a nice curve to the RGB master. See this quick how to on my website:

And for future productions, using a Greta Macbeth chart can you a solid start for color correction when used in post:

The one difficult look of film that is hard to achieve in video without external gear while shooting is limiting the depth of field and using it to lead the viewers eyes to the part of frame that you want them to. There are adapters you can rent but the rentals can be $$. There are also some DIY kits on the market. Check out http://www.dvxuser.com got a whole forum on these topics.
