I'm sure people have seen a million videos of people taking a million stills and throwing them into a video. I have another but I was trying to get an old time movie effect. I think it is close but the frame rate is still not right. Anyway just showing everybody a look you can get using this method and the MB Misfire plugin used in FCP. Plus it gave me a reason to try this vimeo embed tool on the forums.

You are close. I think it would have looked more oldish with something like C-mount lenses bc the footage is a tad too sharp and some of the transitions looked too modern. I also agree with tflak that "Static camera was pretty much the rule in the early films." Adding some shaky mute film texts in between some static shots might have sold it completely bc the grading was spot on.
Apart from that, your cute kid stole the show, congratulations.

I started thinking about this and there are a lot of times I have seen this look trying to be replicated but it just didn't cut it. I don't know if I would ever use it for anything other than home video like this but I'm the curious type.
Thanks for all your comments!

Actually, if you dial down the old film effect a bit you will land at a near-perfect Jean-Luc Godard 16 mm hand-held Nouvelle Vague look.My GH1 shorts are here: http://vimeo.com/marttiekstrand/videos
