<p>You can get close to this effect using Red Giant Shine and Glow plugins on the text, add a Lens Flare in the middle, then add an adjustment layer over all of it, with a Posterize plugin to reduce the number of colours used (about level 22 should do it), then a mosaic effect to reduce the effective resolution</p>

<p>I'm going to make a vlog using this effect since I was looking for a LQ, Nokia-ish footage! What is this effect called and can it be achieved via After Effects? Thank you!
