orange color in most extreme sports videos

I was watching the sports network yesterday and they had some dirt bike stuff on, interviews, clips etc(the standard fare). Also all the editing between these shows, dirtbikes, bmx, skate etc uses this orange frame to i guess simulate 8mm look or somthing, it just comes in here and there etc. Now, i guess i can probably duplicate that look by just changing the color of strobe or somthing but the effect is different i think because it only turns orange on the corners of the frame(i think) not like a flash frame.
If anyone has done it, post up. I'm going to play in premere and AE to see if i can get it today.
thanx
 
If the effect just tints the edges of a piece of footage, I'd make up a gradient in photoshop on a transparent background and pull that into Premiere or AE. Is this what happens or do you mean it flashes to a sort of fake "end-of-reel" frame that has no dirtbike images just some griminess and orange?
 
That orange on the side of the frame is due to light leaks when shooting on film. Most extreme sport footage is shot on 16mm. When shooting 16mm in run and gun situations like they, light can sometimes find its way into the camera.
 
most of these videos are in fact shot on both 16, 8 and DV. I know they are using some effects in post. I will have to make a frame and test it out.. thanx again guys, lots of help, much appreciated :D

Most of the time it is not a desired thing. I know a lot of times throwing a roll in/out in for artistic value is done on purpose. It's possible they're using an effect, but I highly doubt it.
