trying to get that old film look….
Hey,
Well, I’ve recently been making my first movie in 2 years (been too tied up in Anime Music Videos to make one!); and I wanted to give one of my acts the old silent film look. I already did half of the effect (like giving the scenes different tints, including sepia using sapphire’s film effect).
If you would like to see the results, here are the pics…

I also did a scene which is red. But enough about that, here’s the problem I run into: it looks too new and digital! I want it to look like the film has aged 80 years, and it has scratches. Is there any plug-in or method to get that look? Thanks. 😀
Oh, and I’m using Premiere Pro 2.

I tried that once before, but couldn’t get it to work right for some reason. The second time, I saw a big difference and it worked out perfectly. This is just a question for future reference: Could this overlay be used to create a grindhouse-like effect?
Thanks by the way. 😀

Sorry, I haven’t seen Grindhouse yet. My guess is that you might want to create your own overlay using the same methods. Any particle software ought to be able to do it, but Particle Illusion is the easiest to use.

Alright, considering I have Particle Illusion, I’ll try that in the future. Though, I’m a newbie at that program… but I’ll learn as I go.
Thanks for the help.

The Daddy of film-look filters – I think,
anyway – is DigiEffects’ Cinelook/Film Damage
combo. You’ll have to use it in After Effects
though.

Or Magic Bullet w Look Suite Presets
Media Manipulator

MB w/LS will give you the grade (ie. sepia, B/W,
whatever), but Digi-effects’ AE plugins allow grain
control to a (ridiculous, really) nth degree.
Magic Bullet PPro suite *is* a really useful addition
to PPro though – I’ve graded quite a few music vids
in PPro with it without the need for After Effects
plugins. It still takes bloody ages to render, of
course.Darren.
