The “dated” look – scratches, grain etc – was achieved using Augie64’s Filtermod (from themovies.filefront.com). Custom overlays and backdrops are all made by myself (I was in Paris recently which inspired me to choose to do this story), except for the couple of overlays in 1900s Paris which are copyright free pictures from Wikisource.
