nice explainations but i think there still are major things missing – for example:

..motion blur
it’s a lot stronger in film material – even with video that almost got me fooled, it’s usually once objects or people are in motion that i’m like “oh, it’s video after all”. a great product to enhance the motion blur of video so that it is closer to film is reelsmart motion blur => http://www.revisionfx.com/products/rsmb/
unfortunately, even with that motions still don’t look quite right. or maybe i still have to figure out the right settings – haven’t used it on a lot of footage yet.

..grain
film grain is different from video grain. there’s a book which name i don’t remember where it’s discussed how to integrate video footage in a movie shot on film. one of the major points mentioned is first trying to remove as much of the video noise as possible and then adding film grain.

still… even with all that it still looks wrong. and i’m convinced it’s not just the dynamic range. maybe i’ll give magic bullet a try…

I teach film studies and digital video aesthetics at a university in Wisconsin. What you are doing with these lessons is invaluable; I recommend your webpage to all of my students. It is a tremendous resource, and offering your lessons the way you do allows for a wider dessimation of knowledge that will only result in more artists finding new means of self-expression (or even the courage to try). Thank you for sharing your experiences!

I believe the set of filters is simply called “Film Effects.”

Any of the Natress film filters should look great, though!

Good luck!

Thanks So much for what you provide. Can you talk more about home made lighting that can be used (utility lights etc) or talk about what the best starter kit is, and perhaps show us what your lights look like when you have them set up to show us the alignment and proximity to the subject, keep up the good work, you have inspired me to start a site! as soon as I get the lighting down I’m going to film it, I am a ER R.N. and I want to produce some health tips for some viewing audience somewhere.
Thanks
