creating a dated look in the year 2004

[jamessilverman@hotmail.com]

hello all,

 

I am trying to create a 1960's /70's look for a short film. Actually we are trying to shoot new york for paris...aint easy...i had some queries, and since we dont have the budget for adaquate tests, I was wondering about others' experience.

 

1) shooting clean (no filters) versus telecine.

 

2) underexposing 500T and pushing 2 stops.

 

3) lenses/optics

 

4) lighting...specific gels? or diffusion.

 

5) soft versus hard light?

 

anything that would help me get a sense of how to re create this period aesthetic, i would sincerely appreciate it.

 

 

james
