hello out there i am phoenix
arizona multimedia artist

i want to talk to you today about creating the filming look in our videos
and what i mean by this is creating video that evokes
things that normally are associated with sixteen millimeter eight millimeter thirty five millimeter film
there are a lot of filmmakers out there today who swear that
digital media
is ugly
it's too clean
it's too clear it doesn't hold together visually
there might be too high a frame rate
to sit comfortably with somebody who is used to watching film
and certainly there are filmmakers who worked digitally
but are able to evoke a sense that you're looking at something from the twentieth century
something from the nineteen sixties and nineteen seventies and nineteen eighties
so we are going to explore how we can use digital tools
and alter our existing digital footage to give it a sense that it has been created on film
there's nothing like the real thing
i absolutely agree with that
but there's a lot we can do with our work to get it closer to that particular aesthetic
the tools i will be using are adobe premiere adobe after effects in some cases
and then there are some assets that i actually purchased
but we can either generate them on our own
or look for where we can find free options for those
i'll show you
all of those assets could mean anything from creating your own grainy film stock
overlight then yet and mats that can go over your existing digital footage
we'll explore all of that when we get to it
believe me
it's a lot of fun to convert
your digital footage is something that looks like it's from another era
so i hope that you get a lot of value out of this class
in the meantime
let's begin
