Old time effect as in the 1930s?

Post by DuoEnigma » Sat Sep 14, 2002 12:32 pm

How can i make an effect like when they made movies in the 30's or whatever. With lines and you can see dust in the cinema. Similar to that effect they had in the music video Papa roach "she loves me not"

I just finished a video that used an effect like that.

Have you tried Sonic Foundry's Vegas Video 3.0?

In the effects there is a section of filters for film effects. In those are some nice ones like 80's, 1908, very old, etc.

Just a thought.

Just so you know there probably isn't a way to get this effect done for $FREE$ you would need to purchase a plugin to do it properly.

Er I dunno about hte current Quicktime but previous Quicktimes had an Old Film effect filter that was free - or maybe it only came with QT Pro, I don't recall, but it's what I used for the Old Film effect in my first version of Closer to God back in Jan 2001.

There's a plu-in for Adobe that runs around $90, however it does have a free trial version available. Check the listings for third party plug-ins on Adobe's website to find it.

Well, you could always try doing it the hard way, which is also the free way:

The faded film look can be done by playing around with an HSV filter. Adding dust can be done by jacking around a bit with the pencil in your favorite image-editing tool and creating a dust-line video sequence out of that, which you could loop. If you want to make it look a bit more random, just make it longer. Same goes for the lines, cigarette burns, etc.

If you want projector-lens transition effects (e.g. as seen in Aluminum Studios' "Closer"), you can accomplish those with some projector panning and zooming. It takes a little bit of coordination, but it's not impossible.

This was asked two weeks ago:

If you're using Premiere 6, drop the QuickTime filter on the clip, select Film Noise, and adjust the sliders for hair, scratches, and dust. Color fading is allowed, but there are only four choices.

Vegas Video v3 is a bit expensive, but the same effect can be had in Sonic Foundry's cheaper software ($60), VideoFactory v2. It allows slider adjustment of dust, flicker, hair, jitter, scratches, grain, color, and tint. The effect can be keyframed if you want to start a clip looking old and end it looking new (for example).

now I'mnot sure how good it is but I just purchased a Sima collor corecter (about $40 at best buy) and it claims to haev an old time effect from the period you want. I haven't used it because I haev no need. But there is a switch so you will capture in that quality.
