My suggestion is do the Black and white in post. If you have Photoshop, use that. You can create an action in photoshop to carry out all the filter and adjustment settings you want to get that perfect effect and then it will automatically apply it to each frame (assuming you render to stills. Some things I'd play with in photoshop Mode: Greyscale (obviously) adjust: Brightness/contrast (I'd want fairly high settings for both) Filters: blur: a very small amount of gaussian blur Artistic: Film grain again a small amount depending on our resolution If you can get a 3rd party Bloom filter ya might wanna play with that. If you don't have Photoshop already, then I would like to suggest what is my absolute favorite piece of software: Bauhaus Mirage. Think of it as Photoshop for animation, effects engine, compositor, and 2d animation tool. All with real time feed back. This software is as pricy as photoshop, but it's worth every penny (and more) for a serious poser animator. It has all the tools to do what you want, and to REALLY cut down on your render time.
