Topic: Aged Film

I'm working on a fiolm about some adventurers in Egypt, and I was thinking of making everything look like it was footage from an old camera. I was wondering if I should add it in for flavor or not use it since it doesn't really serve any purpose.

Re: Aged Film

If it doesn't serve a purpose or doesn't further enhance the film then I would say leave it out. However, if your film is based in the past when camera's had large amounts of film grain/spots/lack of color, then you might want to try using a filter that makes that effect. There are numerous effects and editing programs out there that have old film filters.

Re: Aged Film

I think it would be good to fade the color a bit and add some film scratches to make it look vintage.  Vegas Studio has many such filters.  My non-Lego film, "The Complete History of recorded Music, Part 1", uses such effects, which diminish as the timeline/odometer grows more current.

Re: Aged Film

it really depends on what time it takes place if its in like the 1800s do it but if its like 1990 there is no purpose
