Recreating the Super8/Film Look

[Michael Szalapski]

There have been many, many posts in the COW’s forums over the years on how to achieve film-like looks from video footage. Try a forum search, then make a post on what you’ve tried and what’s not working with what you’ve tried.

Hi Dave,

Thank you for replying to my post. My test footage was shot at 24 fps but I may also try shooting some test footage at 18fps for contrast. I am planing to shoot a music video on a Canon 7D and then use the skills/ resources I’ve learnt to create a film look to this footage.

I would love to do the whole thing on celluloid but money/time isn’t on my side. The contrast of new and old technologies will also make for an interesting project. I am fairly new to using celluloid so I am learning a lot.

Thanks for replying Michael,

I am going to look through the forum and try a few of the suggested techniques. I am planning to shoot a music video and include some of the film look aspects. The video is going to be very natural so hopefully this look we compliment the piece.
