Film Grain

Yeah like for photoshop or what? Typically if I want that effect I use a noise filter and make it black and white. If you mess around with it for a little while it comes out pretty damn good. But nothing beats actual film

guess im just picky about that kind of stuff. adding on something like to that to match a different aesthetic which had nothing to do with digital just doesnt make sense to me.

guess this dude was looking for video though, and that i know nothing about.
 
Try filmconvert. I use it for a lot of my footage and it looks great imo. I usually turn the grain down to 20-30% but if you wanted to have it more pronounced you could leave it higher.
 
I have seriously been considering filmcovert, but from my experience (using 35mm images of 18% gray card stitched into a video file) the grain only shows up on web-compressed videos if you use a large grain, which gives a different look altogether. How has your experience been?
 
I like it. Not as much for the grain but as a starting point for color grading. I really like the look some of the film stocks give. You're right though, the grain still doesn't show up well on web compressed video.

Heres a couple examples:

I think this one I used the Ilford Delta setting:https://vimeo.com/63081914

This is one of the Fuji stocks:https://vimeo.com/62247924

Both were the 35mm grain with the slider turned down to about 25%

 
Yeah it seems like a neat tool; I just can't justify the price when I can do the same colorwork manually, and the film grain doesn't fare so well with web stuff. It seems like it would be convenient for short/casual videos where I don't want to dump time into grading.
 
Won't look like garbage... as long as it's done right.

I never make film prints of any photo I take, I just scan it and digitize all my negatives and it comes out looking pretty awesome...
