This a presumably modern video made for an old song… I wonder how they did this?
I am assuming it was done in after effects with some kind of “old film” filter / LUT applied on top of it?
How you think they did it?
The tunnel effect at 25 seconds in particularly intrigues me….
They could have used just any kind of 3D app, but I wonder if it wasn’t something in After Effects. One way they could have done would be to make a light grey and black striped surface at the top of a Photoshop file and then colored stripes on the bottom half of the image- then apply a cylinder effect in After Effects. But they had the camera move like it was a round donut, and then the tunnel does an “S Turn” after a point. Can this be done in after effects?

My attempt to duplicate the shot with a grey and black striped Photoshop image with the After Effects “CC Cylinder” effect applied to it. I made it a 3D object and had the 3D camera move through it:

I still haven’t figured out how to make a curved tunnel in after effects.
