When I was a child growing up in the 1960's-70's and even in film school in the '80's we relied on 'in-camera' tricks to accomplish effects such as this. When I was 15 a friend & I shot an 8mm x 100' short for a local Vancouver amature festival and needed a similar effect. We first shot the 'master' of my friend circling with his magic finger, then back-wound the 8mm in my Bolex & turning the camera up side down shot a key lite pensil floating to the ground against a black b.g. Obviously it was more time consuming and not as precise as using software. We had to acc.framing, light meter reading, etc. but it worked great & software wasnt invented at the time! and has the same effect with half the t. This isn’t really a ‘film effect’ is it?.
