This is admittedly over the top in effects but it's still kind of cool. I just got my hands on Magic Bullet Editors for Premiere Pro 1.5 and used most of the Misfire suite for this comparison.

The same shot twice. The first one is untouched, direct from the camera (taken at Rialto Beach in Washington) and the second has a host of Misfire effects attached. Kind of looks like something from a 1920s or 30s era horror flick scene.  :)

Re: Magic Bullet Editors

somehow the original looks even creepier. like something from "The Ring"

good job D
 
Re: Magic Bullet Editors

It's funny you should mention the Ring. When I was adding that effect it reminded me of some of the scenes from the video in the film, which I'm sure was shot on Super 8.
 
Re: Magic Bullet Editors

haha. exactly. I love your usual work. But maybe we could see "The Dark side of Disjecta" with a bunch of shots like that.

keep up the good work.
 
Re: Magic Bullet Editors

Some of the coast on the Olympic side of Washington is perfect for shooting that kind of dark feeling. I got a bunch of shots like that. There's nothing like a wild beach and twisted driftwood to add a little fright to your shots :D
 
Re: Magic Bullet Editors

Hey Disjecta! Now I am cursed! 7 days left!

hahaha it really got creepy! Though I would also see a falling lady and the inverted rotating chair ! hehehe
 
Re: Magic Bullet Editors

Cool, i have always loved that shaky,flickery,grainy kinda footage.

didnt the ring take place in washington?
 
Re: Magic Bullet Editors

Cool, a human.

Have you seen the filmClutter CD's? Its a collection of end burns ,grains,flashes,light leaks,scratches etc.. from film that they captured and turnded into QT's.

:D Hey, I like humans. Just not when they get in my frame ;D

Yes, I have seen that CD but Magic Bullet does all that and more. Plus, you can change every single parameter to make it look totally unique.
 
Re: Magic Bullet Editors

Everything Disjecta does is cool looking. Now he just has another toy to make cooler looking things :)

Post some settings for the magic bullet stuff. Also, how much was the editors version? considering getting it myself.
 
Re: Magic Bullet Editors

Oh you are just too nice   :D

The full cost is $299 but, because I own the After Effects Magic Bullet Suite, the upgrade cost was $149

The settings for Misfire are all set to default with only the following parameters enabled:
Fading
Dust
Flicker
Vignette (this is really cool, darkens the edges)
Micro scratches
Grain
Post Contrast

For the settings on the camera, I really don't remember. It's 24pa and I did not white balance, I just left it at the default daylight setting which was very slightly off but I liked it better. Did some critical focussing on the tree at full zoom then shot at full wide. Pedestal for me, at this stage, is pretty much -4, which is my favorite setting....I vary that slightly based on the kind of shot I'm getting.

The chroma is set to +4 and most of the other settings are at the default for f6 and, if I remember correctly, the ND setting was 64, it was a very glarey sky which allowed me to get the tree in silhouette.
