"CineLook's beautifully designed user interface streamlines the adjustment process."With DigiEffects' CineLook Broadcast, you can give your digital video the look of film. CineLook doesn't just add faux grain--its presets mimic the characteristics of dozens of commercial films from Agfa, Fuji, and Kodak, in color and black-and-white 8mm, 16mm, and 35mm stock. In addition, several offbeat presets simulate old movies and deliver grungy effects suitable for MTV. The Film Damage plug-in, for example, gives clips a vintage look by simulating scratches, dust, and projection stuttering."

Mac World

 

"It's a very powerful tool, and you'll find yourself looking for ways to try it on all kinds of projects."

"The developers at DigiEffects appear to have taken the time to study film and to undersatnd, quantify and set the parameters for what qualifies as a film image."

"The ability of CineLook to work its visual powers on video will be a welcome addition to many producers' budgets. But it's the raw, rough look of FilmDamage that will initially win artists' hearts."
Hans Pigorsch
AV Video Multimedia Producer

 

"Cinelook is a great plug-in for After Effects, maybe one of the most useable allround plug-ins out there. I give Cinelook five marks!."
Andreas Lindholm

Fantazm

 

"Fantazm, then, could be called a new spice rack, one with powerful and unique flavors, for the motion graphics chef...Fantazm’s learning curve is no different; take comfort that it’s time well spent, and that the meal is worth the wait."
Mike Caputo reviews Fantazm for Studio Monthly.

Delirium

 

"The plug-in set covers a broad range of effects from camera-angle simulations to psychedelic lighting effects, but the highlight of the package almost certainly is the particle effects. Even if you are an AE novice, this set of plug-ins can really add that extra sugar to your eye candy....Depending on your rates, you might be able to get Delirium to pay for itself with just one 10-second corporate logo or it may be just what you need to make a client gasp and clinch a contract."
Videomaker's Eric Frank reviews Delirium.

"Delirium is so easy to use, you can get realistic finished results without even opening the manual."

"Unlike some sets of plug-ins, Delirium includes many effects that are actually useful and can add genuine sizzle to everyday projects."
Christine Saucier
AV Video Multimedia Producer

 

Berserk

"One of my favorites is the Blizzard effects. Which uses a particle system to create a realistic snow effect"

Walker Effects

I give Walker Effects 2.0 four and a half cows. This is a must have toolset for the serious compositor. Even the Basic Edition has tools that will greatly improve your workflow and simplify otherwise difficult and tedious task of creating seamless composites.
