Making Realistic Newspaper Clippings

[bhess]

Im working on a short horror film and a particular scene calls for a bunch of old newspaper clippings that tell the backstory of the plot to be seen.
Does anyone have any techniques or tricks on how to get that realistic looking paper for the clippings?

Well, you can always print on newspaper paper. It's sort of cheap, brown-ish paper, easily torn. That works.

If you live near a news print mill or warehouse, ask for a small sample of the paper for a research or something school related. They usually give you what you need.
