to:

* InCameraEffectsInCameraEffects / PracticalEffects: The low-fi look of his films are achieved by practical means rather than alterations in post production:
** Vaseline was put on the lenses which makes the films appear "fuzzy" in places.
** Some of the films are shot with black and white Super 8 film, then blown up to 35mm.
** Guy Maddin also uses one direct light source (or at least the illusion of one light source) which blanches the actors' faces and gives his films a very shadowy feel.
