Hey guys.

I’m a visual effects artist and thought I’d have a go at a concept for this.

The main things that are different to me are

-aspect ratio 4:3 vs 16:9
-black levels, older tv cameras were low contrast so I’ve raised the black levels and crushed the highlights.generally a lower contrast image.
-resolution, tv from the 80s and 90s was lower res and often viewed on vhs so I’ve downrezed the frame to 480×360
technically vhs is equivilant to pal but with half the horizontal resolution so 335×576.

Also I remember lots of colour smearing in the original series so I can do that with a still frame but I’ve added some chromatic abberation. Also I added in some noise/grain to make it look not so digital and clean.
