hey, i was just watching Help!, the Beatles movie, i was wondering if anyone out there had any custom presets to share that look like that? or any custom presets that mimic 60-70's film stock.

i tried making my own but it's winter here and everyday is overcast and drab so i'm having trouble tweaking stuff to my liking.
and before anyone suggests it, yes, i already checked out and downloaded all the ones in the "custom preset library" thread, heh.

thanks in advance

get your self a super 8 cam bryan,seriously i guess you watched help in sd well a lot of the old films ie the searchers are being digitaly restored and look brilliant on blue ray etc certainly not like a 56 film,if help was restored apart from films different color tone it would not have any of the flicks etc that pre restored films showed.do you want the restored or old film look.i know there are various editing options that may give you the look you require.good luck and happy new year.

well, i havent seen the original film, just this 2007 release, so maybe it's the restored look i'm going for. i'm sure i could get pretty close in post, but i prefer to get a head start by making in camera adjustments, you know? i get tired of rendering and tweaking each shot in editing, heh.
anyways, thanks and happy new year to you too!
