The 70’s palette with a twist

It’s always exciting to experiment with new ways to create a vintage look. In this film, the scene was set during the character's time studying in London.

Drawing from my experience living there, I avoided the usual magenta tones in the shadows. Instead, I introduced elements inspired by cold, dreary London, incorporating greens and lifted shadows like a faded photo.

We also used grain, halation, and a mix of blurring and sharpening to distress the image, enhancing its worn, nostalgic feel.
