Make your video dusty and scratchy and you don’t even have to own a projector or film camera. Just Adobe After Effects! I’m using adobe CC but you can do this in most versions. we’ll make dust, scratches, a square frame, and a little colour correcting. It’ll be fun and your friends who post endless photos of their pets and food will think it’s very twee or fetch or whatever people say these days.
