film lookPosted by Jason Epperson
<HTML>There are a few articles on this web page that speak to different types of lenses that can give you a film look even before you get to fcp2. Also there are a couple articles on things you can use within fcp2 to get that look. I don't know exactly where they are but their probably under articles or discussions somewhere.

Duplicating the video on 2 tracks and adjusting the opacity of one track works really well. mike</HTML>
<HTML>Cinelook matches film stocks very nicely. You can also (Laboriously) speed up the footage and re-interploate it back down to sort of match a 3:2 pulldown. (200%>50%=orig speed footage OR 400%>25%=orig. speed footage) then you can do an opactiy blend over original clip to get a cool llook. There is also a new de-interlacing plug-in from the Shape/Shade company(can't think at the moment). Never used it though.

<HTML>Although some of the tips above have been impressive for what they accomplish, the tips I'm looking for is to match the rich colors of 16mm, or possibly software that can do this. A plug-in straight to FCP instead of After Effects would be nice, but surprisingly I don't think it exists.</HTML>
<HTML>Not going to happen I'm afraid Matt. Video is Video and all we do it will NOT give you what you are looking for, cinelook not withstanding. There is something called the Magic Bullet which is a propietary process done over at the (damn, I can't remember the name) Search the feature articles over at 2-pop. Anyway, that'll cost ya big bucks I'm afraid.

<HTML>Matt, What you want is totally possible, however you should plan on doing it in After Effects. There are several plug-ins including Cinemotion and Cinelook from Digieffects. The best tool out there is FilmFX from bigfx.com, however its PC only at the moment. They tell me a FCP version is due soon. It has presets galore including all the major filmstocks from 8mm to 35mm plus some FX presets. It can be tricky and requires a lot of trial and error to get the right look, buy it renders multiple times faster than the Digieffect products (which need desperately to be updated for the G4),
Lance email me for complete details or help in achieving the look you want.</HTML>
