filter question
Hi folks. As you know, I don't own one of these XL1s, however, I have a basic filter question.
I want to make some old, run-down buildings look sad, dull perhaps, yet keep the color video sharp. I have to do a 15 to 20 minute presentation video about these run-down, unkept buildings (along with stills from my SLR). That's my question. It's just simple tripod mounted video shooting, but perhaps using a particular filter will magnify "the run-down look." (No, not the "film-look.") Thanks. I was thinking on the lines of a color filter.... |
Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I did a similar project and used a Tiffen Sepia filter on the old buildings to give them sort of an "old west" look.

Use an effects filter in post.....like scratches and lint on the film...really adds a seedy look to the images.

Thanks, I'll check out some weak Sepia filters.

Try shooting when the structures are cross-lighted to accentuate texture. I'm sure they're pretty weather beaten with peeling paint. Then in post desaturate the images slightly. Drab colors add to the aged look. I just spent a week in Oregon and where we were there were quite a few structures that were old and picturesque. Good luck! Dean Sensui Base Two Productions |
