My dad used to always say, "When I was your age, we didn't have children." Well with people like that you might have to convert your footage into something a little more familiar. There are lots of tutorials on creating that "old film" look, but I felt like Brock did a good job presenting a method that didn't require any expensive plug-in presets and could be done quickly... Enjoy!
