Even though it's probably not "correct" for me to suggest it, there is some really REALLY cool looking software that can give your standard video camera footage a look that you shot it on film that I've been playing with a lot lately. Magic Bullet softens the edges of everything and anything in front of it. The trick is to softly put the backgrounds out of focus. You can accomplish this by pulling up to your subject matter as close as humanly possible when filming. No, it is definitely a not end all solution to making things look like they were shot on 35mm, but it's still a damn good look. Keep up on the lighting and sound work most importantly ! That always stands out on an indie by far. Even a little effort goes a long way in this digital age :o
