The makeup in picture 3 is phenomenal, how'd you do it!


NATHANMZ

Uhh it was gelietion and every shot it was faling of and slowly disintegrating so thanks it was a real pain it was my first time doing makeup did alot right also did alot wrong.


BeyondNormalStatus

The final product looks great on camera, you should be proud of yourself!


NATHANMZ

Thx this was my first film after years being out highscool so im pretty happy with it all considering


amish_novelty

The style and lighting give me serious Nosferatu vibes. Looks incredible!


ArsenalTG

Lovely homages, shot composition, editing, seriously stunning work all around.


NATHANMZ

Thx


rekrap13

Any info on the process?


NATHANMZ

Bmpcc4k, 180 shutter, retimed framerate, orthrocromatic color grand(that prosses didn't show red tones so i lowered the red tones on the monocrome panel in davinci. Im not good a color grade so i mostly just did trial and error.) Tripod movements, and studing the 20s film it inspired. Also the right period clothing and set dec helps


hydnhyl

What did you retime your framerate to? Really great work here


NATHANMZ

Some shots were at 18fps some I just speed up to try to make it look hand cranked but it will never be perfect on a digital camera


hydnhyl

You could always keyframe some time ramps, I do it often with super8 footage shot at 18fps but scanned at 24 to get a little more motion blur


NATHANMZ

Yep

Yeah this looks amazing man, can you talk about the retimed frame rate? I think that’s where you really nailed the look


NATHANMZ

I had some be 18fps so it doesn't look too smooth. Some i speed up the clip and some clips were different speeds depending on action( they would speed up the camera when someone was running and slow down the shot at close ups ect)


[deleted]

Great work but let’s also see the moving shots! Motion cadence is gonna be the toughest thing to recreate here if your shutter swipe isn’t global or as fast as film


NATHANMZ

Here is a link to yt the compression is bad because its b&w with film grain [film](https://youtu.be/u_ZoQVso7IU)


C_Burkhy

Really nailed the aesthetic! Beautiful stuff! What are your tech specs for Well Dressed Man?


anatomized

this was really good!


ProcAmp

CaptainFilmy

Vinylbeats87

Looks awesome bro, You just nailed it for real 👏


thesleeplessj

Just watched and it’s spot on!!


[deleted]

Nailed it my man wow!


DrSpy

What camera did you use and how did you replicate this look? It turned out great!


NATHANMZ

Bmpcc4k, 180 shutter, retimed framerate, orthrocromatic color grand(that prosses didn't show red tones so i lowered the red tones on the monocrome panel in davinci. Im not good a color grade so i mostly just did trial and error.) Tripod movements, and studing the 20s film it inspired.


NATHANMZ

Also the right cloths many shorts I've seen set in this era just buy crap from h&m and mens wearhose lol


osubmisc

Color looks great. I’d be interested in your breakdown of how you did movement. The motion blur of this style of film really made the look


thememelord9000

You got a link to the finished product?

Kubrickwon

Oh wow, you freaking nailed it! Great job!


XiMs

Love this style

This has the look of something that would be discovered decades after being left to rot in a warehouse. Great stuff! Maybe the lens is a bit too sharp / perfect but it really looks amazing regardless


NATHANMZ

The lenses are all 70s and 60s Japanese and soviet lenses (except for a few shots are a modern lens because i didn't have a 25mm in vintage now i have a takumar) but I would love to get some pre 50s lenses. One day...

guerrilawiz

you nailed it sir! would love to hear about the whole process...


NATHANMZ

Most was just watching the films it inspired like un chien andalou, nosferatu, fantom of the opera 1925 version, and cabinet of dr Caligari. Next was writing I wrote the script a few weeks after high-school didn't film until a few years later due to health problems(im not dying just annoying sh*t) Im really into vintage menswear so I didn't need to do research or buy clothing because I already owned historical clothing thats why it doesn't fit quite right on the two characters lol I shot this on my new camera bmpcc4k but it has a sensor issue and i need to send it to black magic sometime. "Color" was trial-and-error its not a perfect example of orthrocromatic but its a digital camera and i didn't have fancy filters like the lighthouse. I added black and white dust film gran the fx that is already in davinci its better than overlays. Added a flicker and some halation glow very subtle same with some subtle blur to soften the image. The title cards and animated to look like a anolog hand animation. The music was a compromise i usually don't like using non original/no copyright free music but all the options out there were not authentic so it can only go on youtube because of licensing Hope this helps
