Make DV look like super 8

Can anyone recommend any techniques/software/plug ins to get my HVX SD or HD footage looking like super 8.

You know, that flickery feel... those dated colours, vignetting, grainy... all that lovely stuff.

I've heared a bit about magic bullet??

any thoughts,

cheers,

matt

My Film Effects www.nattress.com has all you need to do that. I had some fun the other day with the plugins: [www.nattress.com] - ok, a bit over the top and a bit compressed for the web, but you get the idea :-) You don't have to add all the film nasties though - fully controllable.

Magic Bullet is good. Nattress' film filters are good and cheap as well.

Here's the FAQ from the Wiki, which includes links to both and some other techniques. : How Do I Make My Video Look Like Film?

Beat me to it, G.

I'll third the NAttress filters.

another vote for nattress! have owned them for years now - LOVE EM!

I use Magic Bullet Looks 2008:

Cost more than Nattress...but the results are spectacular. G's Film Effects are nice too - especially if you are on a tight budget

When life gives you dilemmas...make dilemmanade.

don't know if this is mentioned in the FAQ,
but dont forget the frame rate as a huge part of the look.

super 8 was often 18fps,
standard 8 was 16fps

you can simulate this by using the strobe filter. (video filters > video)
set to somewhere between 1.5 and 2.
you know your starting frame rate and your desired frame rate, so it's just a simple bit of maths to figure out the setting.

The Nattress Film effects is great. I use it now and then, wherever it comes in the machine, but I've started to use it more and more. It's invaulable. I'll be buying it in the next few weeks when my new card comes in.
