More Super 8 Emulation Experimenting
I 've been spending quite a bit of time trying to emulate Super 8 video footage fairly accurately and I have now come quite close. The two biggest factors in trying to get this emulation believable turned out to be, first, making sure I shoot in a rather flat color profile and, second, learning more about the hundreds of video effects I have with my video editing software.
