    Hey! Awesome job dude. You could use these free film burns from my site. It would look alot better than the shape you used. Other than that, awesome!

      Thanks for the tip. I have stock film burns as well. I was using the psd tut as a model and carrying it over to after effects. I agree though that it is a very stylized approach, what’s better or best is up to you/time/client/style/tools available! Thanks for checking it out!
