For deteriorated film effect, FILMLOOKS.COM is way to go. Great for grindhouse look.

[...] There are plenty of “looks” programs out there but there would be no way to emulate a particular film stock with any accuracy unless you knew what settings the source camera was using. And that’s FilmConvert’s killer feature. The engineers went and shot source charts with many different digital cameras — including different picture profiles for each — and then shot the same same charts with various film stocks. They adjusted the digital source material to match, and now when you film using a particular camera you can apply the same source:output settings for a much more accurate film simulation than any other product on the market (to my knowledge). Their list of supported cameras currently reads — and they are adding new cameras, including the BMCC: [...]

[...] Posted by Joe Marine on February 2, 2013 • "A solid color grade can very quickly take the edge off an image that looks “too digital.” If you don’t have much time to spend on said color grade, but you’d like to get a great look very easily, a film LUT that attempts to recreate some of the magic we get from Kodak and Fuji stocks could serve you well. We’ve discussed FilmConvert a bit before, but basically it’s either a standalone program or a plugin for the major Apple and Adobe products that uses the color science of the specific camera you’re using in order to precisely match the film stocks they have in their system. Now they’ve introduced another update, this time including support for the Canon C300 and the Arri Alexa."…NoFilmSchool.com via cinema5D [...]

Thanks Joe. I own the Stand-Alone software and could have missed this without your article.

I can’t wait for the BMCC and would like to do a comparison between going to Resolve and this quick FilmConvert way. Just love the USER-FRIENDLY interface it has!

:) my BMCC is arriving tomorrow!! wuhoo!!

Because I work very hard on this site, and respect everyone who comments here, and that’s all we’re looking for in return.

Let’s move on at any rate, as we have a pretty clear comment policy…

Worried about nothing. Just wonder why you felt the need to do that.
I’m not saying what you do is worthless – there’s a good reason this site is one of my main bookmarks.

I love Filmconvert. I used it on a music video I shot today on Canon T3I.
Watch it here: https://vimeo.com/58804628
I wish they would add a setting for VisionTech PP.

I was pretty glad that Joe posted this. I like the software but don’t own it and I still like to be informed on any updates to it since I don’t visit the site that often. Thanks Joe.

I have nothing against FilmConvert, but this C100 video example seems to be highly compressed with severe macroblocking. I even watched the clip directly on Vimeo.

From the footage I’ve seen with the BMCC, I’ve noticed that the footage has its own sort of grain to it. That’s not a knock against the C100, just my own personal observation. So I don’t know if adding grain to BMCC footage would be beneficial.

To be honest, the general public, and especially the youth of today could care less about film grain, or even the film look. I’m seeing a trend where people actually prefer the slightly sped up and nauseating motion that the 120hz-240hz sets produce. They think that more “smooth” = better :(

Great to hear that. Film convert is freakin great. Shot a short on 7D few years ago and just recently tried and was able to add the 70′s vintage film look to it- https://vimeo.com/58652518

cheers!
