About this skill

Analog / Found Footage Horror

Documentary camera. Tape damage. Dead channels. Corporate/educational uncanny.

Tenets

  1. Handheld / locked security cam language
  2. Timestamp / tracking UI optional (comp)
  3. VHS blur, chroma bad, tracking lines
  4. Mundane spaces made wrong
  5. Less monster, more implication

Recipe

Target: 4:3-feeling tape footage, ~480p, wide 24 mm lens at chest height, desaturated (about 60 % saturation), heavy vignette (0.5), practical-light-only scene.

  1. Lower the render cost with render_preset eevee_final at resolution_percentage 50 (tape is soft; do not render clean 1080p).
  2. light_rig horror_practical (one warm spot, one sickly green point) so the room is lit like a flashlight/camcorder scene.
  3. camera_rig lens_mm 24, elevation_deg 0 to 5, fill 0.5, dof_fstop None for deep focus; use aspect 16:9 (or 1:1 for a security feed).
  4. Handheld: add an F-Curve Noise modifier to the camera's location and rotation_euler curves (fcurve.modifiers.new('NOISE'), strength about 0.01 m / 0.01 rad, scale 6 frames). A locked security cam gets no noise.
  5. comp_grade horror_vhs (bloom, desaturation, lens distortion, 2 px pixelation, vignette 0.5). Timestamp/REC overlays are a Text object or an image strip composited last.
