Hi everyone.
Below is a link to a music video I directed shot with the RED ONE. I also did the post and suffered through the workflow. After a few bumps and bruises, it all worked out fine. It's just a matter of knowing how to jump the hurdles.
The video was completely altered in post and made to look like damaged film.
Let me know what you think!

There's a 720p link at the bottom right of the page.
 
Hey great effect.. how did you do that ?? Did you use Sapphire Plug ins..

The only plugin used was Twitch by VideoCopilot.net
All of the flares, light leaks, dust and scratches were composited over the footage.
I didn't mean to say the creation of the video simple, just that it's a simple concept.

Thanks for the replies.

wonder about this video... the camera movement

and your photography compared to this. can you write more (commentary)

If you're asking why the difference in style, it's just a matter of fitting the project with the style that best gets the point across (tells the story). My photography ranges from sleek to gritty. Most of my TV commercial work being clean, I was really looking forward to do something gritty, hence this video. Why do you ask?
 
Do you know of a plug in like the TWITCH filter for Final Cut Pro or Motion 3?

The Twitch plugin is actually just a set of After Effects presets that were packaged in a plugin format. They made a lot of hard work easier and quicker. I don't know of anything specifically for FCP or Motion that does the same thing. Most of the features in Twitch can be replicated manually with behaviors, filters and some compositing in Motion though. It's just a matter of how quickly you want to get it done.
 
OK, thanks for the reply =]...i will do some searching
 
Thanks for all the great comments. Really appreciated. :biggrin:
 
Nice! One thing it is missing though is jitter, the image looks too stabile.
 
This looks really good, and it's really impressive that you got that look.

However, I'm going to go out on a limb and risk serious repercussions and say that... if you really wanted 16mm look... why not just shoot it on 16mm?
 
There is some jitter in the image, just not constant jitter. What's cool with some of these plugins is being able to use these abnormalities that they create in just the right moments; when they would have the most impact. An earlier version had tons of jitter all over the place, but it was too distracting. So we saved the extreme effects for key moments.
Thanks for your comments!
 
Why not shoot on 16? First, money. I had use of RED for free. The DP I use for all my other jobs recently acquired his and loaned it for free. Of course, it worked out like a "Pusher" with a drug, now I'm using it on all my jobs. My total budget was $50 for the diffusion machine and the cost of food. Roughly $150 in total.
Second, you just wouldn't have the same amount of control. To go through a chemical process where you would intentionally damage film is very scary and can get expensive. With this workflow, I had a super clean image to start with that could have been used if the film damage stuff didn't work out. Thanks for your comment.
 
For FCP and After Effects, you could use Magic Bullet with their Looks and Misfire packages.

Cool video.
