Mimicking Goodfellas

Howdy,

 

Do folks have suggestions on mimicking the look of movies from the 60's. I find Michael Ballhaus did an excellent job of it in "Goodfellas" - so if people have some production data on that film it might help -stock, processing, filters, etc.

 

I'm shooting a 35mm short which we want to have the look of a found artifact from the era. Will shortly be doing some tests - Fuji v. Kodak, pushing, etc. There's a contrast to film from that era that I want to duplicate, but film stocks today seem to intent on "seeing into the shadows." Of course, production design is a huge factor. But there's a quality to 60's films that I'm having troulbe pinpointing.

 

It was very interesting to watch "Goodfellas" followed by "Almost Famous", as "Almost Famous" looks like a movie made in the 90's about the 70's (too much light possibly?). While "Goodfellas" really feels like the 60's.

 

Thanks
