Does anyone know a good (and cheap) method to create a filmlook process for DV or Digital8? I've heard you can do it by deinterlacing the video and all this other stuff, but I want to know if anyone's actually done it and how it looks.

This topic came up a little while ago.

De-interlacing probablly won't help too much.

Sorry, I found the page based on my post on it, but the info before it is more pertinant. If you didn't think to scroll up here's the link for the beginning of the thread

You will notice a big difference in quality from digital8 to DV alone. I find that deinterlacing does make the footage look more "filmy." It's better than nothing. Combine this with setting the speed of the video to 95% in post, then it will look pretty good.
Of course I have never shot anything in film but this method is sort of for the basics. also try different styles in lighting.

What about the AfterEffects plugin Cinelook?

CINELOOK IS A AWESOM PROGRAM. BUT TAKES TIME. BUT IN THE END REALLY GREAT I RECOMEND IT TO ALOT OF PEOPLE
