warm 'polaroid' look?

ushere wrote on 5/28/2007, 4:55 AM

anyone have any idea how to get the brownish, warm look that polaroid glasses give (not the grey ones!).

i could, of course, get a filter and shoot with it, but i'm after sweeping vistas with a wide angle, so that would entail a matt box, and that's out of the budget.

would any of magic bullet, boris, etc., fliters give me a ready made look, or do i have to try and create it from scratch?

Do you have an example of what you want?

Have you tried the warm colours from the Vegas Colour Curves WARM Colours Preset FX?

How about creating a sepiatone background image in something like photoshop and adding it to a new track above your video...adjust opacity to taste.

Better yet, create a copy of your video event and put it on a higher track and apply the Sony sepia (warm) effect to it...then reduce it's opacity on the timeline

leslie, go to the VASST site , do a search on presets, grab the ones that come up and install them (using the Preset manager tool). I've found a lot of them to be very useful as well as creative.
