Super 8mm film is simply special and pretty

Digital video is clean and convenient, but it sometimes looks a little bit plastic and sterile. Video makers sometimes want to give their footage the depth, warmth and personality that only film can give. There is just something about the mood, the vibe and the feel of film.

We all love the look of film, but shooting a project with Super 8 equipment can surely become a long, arduous, unpredictable and costly process. Here at Film Looks, we offer tools that will help video makers bring their vision to life at low cost and with little time spending.

What we offer is a large assortment of super 8mm film grain variations. They were captured with real film cameras using real film stock. This collection of film overlays is a wonderful tool that will help video editors fulfilling their aesthetic needs.

How was it made?

We created these amazing film grain overlays by shooting with super 8 cameras on black, white and coloured cardboard papers. This experiment involved using different types of Kodak film stock (50D, 250D and 500T) under various light conditions. The result is a wide range of tints, coarsenesses and texture subtleties. Once the filming was completed, the super 8 cartridges were sent to a professional lab for processing and then the film footage was digitized on a high res telecine scanner. The result of all this hard labour is now at your doorstep.

How to use the Super 8 Film Grain Overlays

These Super 8 Film Grain Overlays are quicktime video files. They will work with any popular video editing software offering the blend mode feature. Softwares like Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, DaVinci and Final Cut Pro X are a sure shot.

Drop the film grain file of your choice in the timeline, place it over your footage and experiment with the blend modes. Depending on the clip that you choose, some blend modes will work better than others. The “Overlay” and “Soft light” modes are the ones that most often work, but interesting experiments can be done with other modes like “Multiply”, “Darken”, “Screen” or “Lighten”.

To achieve a certain desired look, you could also need to tweak the film grain by adjusting functions like opacity, brightness, contrast, levels, curves, saturation and sharpen. Sometimes, adding more than one layer of grain over your footage can bring some superior richness to the image. To extend the length of the effect, simply loop it by copying and pasting it along your timeline.

Creativity has no limits, so they are many ways you can manipulate these colourful video files. This is not an exact science and that’s the fun of the game. Just mess with whatever looks awesome.

Would it be better in 4K?

Because super 8 mm film grain has a very gritty texture (Coarser than 1080P pixelization), getting it in 4K may not be a necessary thing. Using our HD files over your 4K footage will surely make the job just right.

Easy To Use

Whether you are a colorist, a visual effects artist, or a do-it-all indie filmmaker, a film grain overlay can make your work a little easier. These products are easy to use, and you don’t need to know color grading or vfx to apply them. You simply import a grain file into your video editor, lay it over the footage layer, and change the blend mode to overlay. Intensity of the grain effect can increased by boosting the grain overlay layer’s contrast and decreased by turning down the opacity of the layer.

Why Our Grain is Great

Film Grain Effect

Old Film Overlay

Our film grain works to preserves the footage’s lumince. Other grain overlays often make the picture much lighter or darker when added. We keep brightness intact. We also designed it to blend subtly with footage without the need of adjusting contrast or opacity. However, these can be adjusted if you want to play with the grain’s intensity. This grain was also designed to emulate popular film stocks and can be paired with 3D LUTs for truly cinematic looks.
