Hello all, I have been doing a lot of research on the net trying to make an authentic old film look. The all ready made old film plugins the video editors have don't really cut it, it just does not look authentic enough for me... So after a few days of tests and work I have managed to come up with this. It's also a test and wanted to know how authentically old you guys think it looks. Thanks. PS. Film speed adjusted, a clip revered and all was edited on Vegas 9 Pro, the rest of the effects were added in After Effects with manual expression script, just in case you were wondering

Hey Iz, Most authentic. If it weren't for minor modern giveaways in the footage , I'd believe it was old.

Hey deepBlue, Minor modern giveaways Dude just because your dogs aren't trained to walk backward in circles does not mean my dogs aren't. I'm kidding. That's was my very first "footage reversal, hat runaway trick" and the damned dogs kept getting in the way lol. Thanks for the feedback Deepblue, much appreciated. I am so addicted to Adobe After Effects, my God the things you can do with that program! Izzy.

That looked fantastic Iz. I liked the black spots that would occasionally go by....it really looked like defects on the film.

Hey V, Those actually were authentic defects on a 8mm film. Compliments of VideoCopilot.com, I downloaded their old film tutorial and with it came a 5 sec clip of actual digitally transferred 8mm film footage. So I just added the 8mm footage as a "multiply mode" layer and it removed the white background and left the black defects my composition. The jittering and opacity change was done with script expressions I learned in another tutorial. I'm telling you guys After Effects is amazing! The actual quality of Lonely Road is much higher and clearer but I converted the .avi 566MB file into a .mpeg2 37MB file so it would not take a year to upload to YouTube. This was just another Test, I'm ready to make my Chaplin film once I get some old big shoes, over sized pants and eye liner. Thanks V!
