The technique comes first, followed by the scene, action, performance and duration. Paste it straight into a video model and swap in your own characters and plot.
1990s Hong Kong film look, green-teal color cast, film grain, a wide lens close to the subject, step-printing with a slow shutter for smeared motion. A narrow alley in Mong Kok late at night, layer upon layer of neon signs: a man in a floral shirt, a cigarette in his mouth, hurries through the crowd and glances back, his figure leaving a broken trail of afterimages. He says quietly, “Stop following me.” 4 seconds, green-teal tones, no clean digital look.

Common pitfalls
- Just a retro filter with no film language.
- Sign lettering turns into gibberish.
- The wide lens distorts faces too much.
