I just realized I used parts of The Astronaut Farmer as an example to show people how I wanted a section of a short I directed lit. That is, before I cut it out of the script haha. Cheers anyway.

How would one achieve an older, Battlestar Galactica-esque look.

Haha I'm so glad I started a nostalgic Battlestar Galactica discussion. I imagine you are right that the diffusion and such isn't really suited for Super8. I shot a short sci fi with a little girl and a robot with my Beaulieu and the footage looks pretty good in Black and White. High contrast and shadowy stuff looks really cool with the grain and everything. Didn't use the 4-point star filter, although had I known about it I very likely would have considered it! -

Wow thanks a lot for responding and helping me out. I'll look around and see what I can find. I wasn't sure if it was completely having to do with the lighting or the camera or whatnot. Now, if it's not going too overboard - would you have any suggestions on how to achieve something close shooting on Super8mm? I know it's a stretch, but for one of my films I recently bought a Beaulieu 4008 ZM II which has the C-mount (i haven't found any prime lenses that fit that mount yet though). But yes, I'm going to look into these 4 point star filters - but I'm really hoping I can find a lens or other solution to emulate that "foggy" look of TV shows of that era. Thanks again Von -
I was just wondering what I can do now to achieve the old look of tv shows like Battlestar Galactica? Thanks.
