hello.

not sure where to post this, i am doing a short where i really need to recreate a newsclipping, it only has to be one newspaper article and only the headline has to be readable.

the key is that from maybe 5 feet you can read the headline and it has to look at least 10-15 years old.

suggestions??

Depends if you want a real paper - Soak it in diluted tea to give it a brown oldish tint.

If you want CGI someone else will have to help.

i'm thinking just a simple faking with real paper, shouldn't even need cgi!

thanks for the tea tip, i'll try that first.

My dog once pissed on a newspaper that was left in the front yard... it looked pretty aged when dried. :D
