About the Vintage Grunge style

Visual characteristics

A scene with grunge typography in 1990s serial-thriller title sequence style. Distressed letterpress in scratchy black and degraded white. Film leader photocopied degradation and industrial decay authenticity aesthetic with handwritten marginalia and overlapping distorted type. Harsh chiaroscuro lighting on texture, macro lens revealing paper grain and ink bleed depth of field.

Color palette

Colors specified in the preset recipe, not a guarantee for every generated frame.

  • #0a0a0a
  • #e0e0e0

Adapt the preset recipe

Select and copy the recipe below as a starting point. In Storyboard, choose My styles, create a custom style and open Advanced mode. Adapt the wording to your scene and the editor's 1,000-character limit; a Studio preset is not imported automatically. Camera and film references describe the intended look, not equipment used to create the preview or guaranteed animation.

Plan shots in the Vintage Grunge look

  1. Step 1: Study the visual recipe

    Compare the Vintage Grunge still preview with the visual notes below. Choose which lighting, palette and framing cues belong in your shot list.

  2. Step 2: Build your storyboard

    Open a new Storyboard, add your script and character references, then choose its style separately. To adapt this recipe, paste it into a custom style in Advanced mode.

  3. Step 3: Review before video

    Review the generated frames for continuity. A still does not specify motion, pacing or audio; plan those as separate decisions for your video.
