Film Look from NewBlue Film Effects makes your video feel like it was shot on film. In this edition of Tips & Techniques, Ian Stark shows you how to use Film Look’s color and lighting characteristics to create your own signature style.
Much of making a video look like film involves recreating the unintended artifacts of old technologies (hand cranked cameras, for example) and the ravages of time and lazy projectionists.
There’s also a very positive side to the look of film. For example, film responds to light in a non-linear way that compresses the brightest and darkest parts of the image with appealing results. Different film stocks accentuate different colors.
Often, people go to great lengths to achieve a particular “film look” which they use throughout a movie or even a TV series. They set a unique look that might be tied to mood, place, or a time period.
You can design your own look using the appropriately titled “Film Look” plug in.
