I can easily make it in post digitally, I wanted to make it more ''analog'' by having dirty pictures directly from the camera. It looks more complicated than expected.

Well I can tell you that some dust on the mirror of your DSLR wont do anything to your pics! I put my fingers on it and put lots of dust directly on it and nothing shows up on the pics lol

The mirror moves up out of the way just before the shutter is actuated, so the mirror is not used at all in taking the picture. It is there only so that you can see the image through the viewfinder.
