Can anyone recommend a way to get this look?

I found these two images on one of my favorite photography websites, 1x.com. To me, the look of these images is so stunning. I love the surreal feel, and the muted colors.

Though these are still photographs, I was wondering if anyone would have a clue as to how to achieve the "look" of these photos within a video clip in Vegas?

Are there any plugins out there that could provide that look?

Thanks.

I'm not sure what part of the "look" you're trying to achieve. It looks to me like some sort of vignette was applied to darken the outer edges of the pics and possibly some sort of sepia color toning and possibly some Photoshop type filters. Again, not sure what exactly you are trying to duplicate but I took a picture and added a Sony Generated Media black gradient, then applied a Film Effects to that media. I put some grain, a yellow/green sepia tint, some dust and scratches (both at a level of 20.0). Below are before and after pictures, and the screen shots of the settings I used.









Hope that gives you some ideas.

Add a texture layer above your image - shoot a photo of rough texture like a sidewalk, a wood table, scratched rusty metal, etc., and put that into a layer above your image. Then change the blending mode of this layer to overlay, or multiply, etc. to get the desired effect. You can find some free texture images here:

correct me if I am wrong but I think he means the color and lighting of the photograph.
Don't really see much of a texture over lay on the first photo.
Give a search engine Epic Photo color tutorials a try.

Magic Bullet Looks is the first thing that came to mind.
