Visual Effect - Golden Tint on film

Hi all, does anyone know how to get the exact golden tint effect that they used in the film when the rocket launchers were fired?

I am trying to get that same effect on my own video recording's and would also like to use it in some of my photography.

I have seen the shot footage in the making of and it looks exactly like mine... dull skies etc.

Links are welcome

Play with color curves, gold color blend, you also need a HI-RES video with good definition of colors to achieve good results

also add some desaturation and contrast to decrease the sharpness of colors

I'm sure they used floating points for colors and uncompressed RAW formats

So its depends on your camera also
