Get a "shot on Super8 look" without the Cinelook investment

Note:
- This is not a finished work. It's a guide. Instead of giving you a tutorial on how the project was created, I'm going to explain how to apply it to your work. It's your mission to dissect the project and learn about everything that went into it. ;-)
- If you're doing a lot of this type of thing, we fully recommend DigiEffects Cinelook and Red Giant Magic Bullet Suite.
- Mark Christiansen showed this at the BAMG - Bay Area Motion Graphics Group.
- Thank you to Andrew Towers for supplying the image of the church.
A friend asked Jonas for an film look preset, and he ended up with this file instead. At first there wasn't any expressions, but he found that his project file was not that intuitive. It ended up as an faux plug-in. (Notice that the hair and dust is made for hand with Paint... very clever). A lot of expressions bind this together.
If you play with the settings a lot you might want to save a copy of the file unchanged, so that you can go back without downloading it again.
Instructions
- First open the Super 8 comp. I've added an image called "0071.jpg". Replace this image with your video or image.
- There is a comp called "//put original in here//". This is where the image/video is inserted. If you replace the "0071.jpg" with your own, the work will be done for you.
- The file is set up for PAL so if you're in NTSC-land or SECAM-land, change the comp size and frame rate of "//put original in here//", and any other comps that you deem necessary.
- Go through the "parts" folder and tweak until your heart is content. Add more film grain, adjust the colorization, and most importantly, have fun!
