: Use a second instance of Turbulent Noise with a large scale (e.g., 1700) to create a "fold" line.

: Use a ballpoint pen to write "Photos" or "Lisa" on the front, pressing hard to leave an indent in the softened paper fibers.

Below is a guide on how to create a digital "paper" effect or a physical paper prop inspired by the show's aesthetic. 1. Create Digital Paper (After Effects)

: Let it air dry or use a hair dryer for a crinkled texture.

: Soak a standard piece of white printer paper in a tray of black tea or coffee for 3–5 minutes.

If you are looking to recreate the paper textures or transitions seen in modern media (like the Ali Abdaal or stop-motion style), you can follow these steps:

: Start with a solid layer and apply Turbulent Noise . Set the contrast high and brightness low to simulate paper fibers.
