Help?

That is called shooting on film and playing with the film at the time of telecine. The only way to replicate that is with a lot of skill, and some film effects footage from someplace like Artbeats.

Gotta spend money if you want to do stuff like that.
 
Obviously it was shot on film, I'm trying to replicate that or at least get the sprocket holes and stuff. No need to be condescending about it man, just looking for a bit of advice.
 
With After effects, Photoshop and a little time it could be done. Could make a long PS file with the film sprocket sides. layer that with the video in AE, shrink the video to fit into the sprocket. keyframe the sprocket sides to move up along the sides of the video. precomp the two layers. then mess with some warping effects/ a whole lotta other effects. It could be done.

That was super brief, mainly because I didn't want to type every little detail. But hopefully if you have both those apps it would get the wheel spinning. Kinda got my wheel spinning as I was typing it. Hmmmm....
 
You could buy some old film at a garage sale or pawn shop and scan the sprockets,
download a 30-day trial of Shake to use their excellent grain filter for free,
while you're at it play around with color surves to trash things up.
Might want to set your FCP timeline to 24p, then use the Motion tab to
tweak the position and brightness a little differently for each frame.

That filter would be a great thing to layer on top if you did any tweaking or compositing. It is a really grungy film filter.
 
Sorry, didn't know you knew that. Most people don't know that a lot of stuff is still shot on film. You can use Motion and play with the Displacement Map.
