Better to do it in post. It'd be pretty simple - once you've shot it get in touch and I'll knock up a quick example for you if you like :)

Yep that's right, the section where he is smoking not going to use it in the exact same way, more so as a kind of transition from one scene to the next, but using a dslr I thought it might be difficult to achieve that effect. Me and lighting guy have found a way to make our digital footage have that old film aesthetic so hopefully it won't look too naff. I was also hoping there might be an in camera way to do it.

Okay in post it is, thanks a lot for your advice.

The stuff where he's smoking? Those are just quick over-exposures - you can do that in any NLE - ramp up the exposure quick (over just a few frames) then cut, wind the clip back (or forward) a little then let it play. It only works because the film itself looks so shonky though - trying that with pristine HD might look a bit naff :)

Probably easiest as people say above to do it in post - there's some flash frames of white, jump cuts, and some just plain over exposure. Digital sensors in the camera won't respond the same as what I guess was 16mm film stock, so probably best to capture it nice then dirty it up in post.

Note the soundtrack has audible cues for the flash frames and overexposure, which seems the effect. Rather it turns what could otherwise seem a pretty ugly camera mess-up into a feature.
