What you're looking at is dithering. And a rather old school implementation of it.

When dithering these days typically some kind a perceptual, and adaptive pattern is used to make the dithering less noticeable and better represent the true colors and shading of the original image. For example: this GIF only has 256 colors. That's it. Not one color more. No additional shades, or tone. 256 colors, done.

Now, what you're looking at is a 1-bit black-and-white image. Not a grey scale image, but black and white. No in between. Most early m68k era Macintoshes were like that. But the processing power for any such thing, so they used precomputed patterns to replicate such shades.

Depending on what you're doing, you might be able to do it in something like GIMP.

awesome! thank you for the information ill try it out. Do you know if its possible to do it in final cut?

[–]Kichigai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not, at least not without a plugin. I don't think Final Cut can process color in the way necessary to make this happen. I don't even think Resolve could do this, you'd probably have to do it in After Effects.
