One of the latest trends (at least for me) in videography is the Shoebox technique which uses... well... a shoe box fitted with a lens to project the image on a tracing paper. The result is a dream like noisy image with a kind of a shallow DOF.

I studied the look of this effect and designed a project in Apple Motion to simulate it. A copy of the project can be found here:

You can try it by just opening the file and dropping your footage in the drop zone. You need Motion 3 off course.

Oops, sorry, just saw you posted it on the shoutebox. So my opinion is : could maybe be a bit darker. Personaly, I like the vignetting with the shoebox and the lack of light. I think you reproduced well the texture. But whatever I'm saying, I like the effect.

The vignetting can easily be turned up for a darker look, I turned it down here because I felt it suited the over exposed footage better. I noticed that each shoebox had it's own characteristics depending on the size of the box, the lens used, the material of the screen and other elements.
