Laurence Grayson from ShortFormVideo with a tutorial on “crapping up” good footage in After Effects, that is to say – taking perfectly good progressive footage in After Effects, and re-interlacing it to make it look more vintage, poorly shot or distorted. Laurence uses a variety of techniques to do this and also shows a quick and dirty method, plus a method that is sweeter, and more accurate.
“It’s amazing how much effort goes into taking perfectly good video footage and making it look dated, badly-shot, or distorted. Techniques like this can give your material a grungey, low-tech feel that gets used a LOT in science fiction movies and games (like the blinking cursor and constant beeping text readouts), when you’d really expect things to be a bit sharper”
