Hey guys,
I will be starting work on a film which is set in a 1930's in two weeks. The director wants the dialogue to have a '***film***' like quality to it. I suggested passing the stems through a tape and back in pro tools just to get the warmth and the quality of the tape. But due to budget constrains, it was not possible. A few of my colleagues suggested that you can achieve that similar quality with the VCR. Although I have never tried such a process with either the tape or a VCR, I was wondering if any of you guys know how to go about or have done anything like this before. Are there any specific sites I might look up to find how to achieve this. I could just use a plugin which might help me achieve this effect, but since I have the time, resources and control over the sound department on this film, I thought its worth trying. Thank You in advance.
