About this app

Super 16 is a professional video camera application that allows you to create footage with real-time processing as vintage 16mm and 8mm film cameras do. This application provides extensive functionality for manual control, which can be useful for videographers and filmmakers. With Super 16, you can equally well shoot both atmospheric home footage (in 16mm or 8mm film style), reflecting your best moments, and professional cinematic scenes, or just take photos with a touch of old.

Powerful color adjustment

The application provides a set of >70 filters containing profiles of popular vintage Kodak Vision3 films, black-and-white filters and filters for cinema post-processing. You also have the option of manually preprocess color by changing the temperature, tint, saturation and color correction curve. You can track all changes in the distribution of colors in a frame using a color histogram or waveform monitor.

Physical film emulation

The application allows you to emulate such aspects of analog film shooting as stains and scratches, frame shake (gate weave), flicker, grain, uneven emulsion coating etc. Using pause/continue while recording leaves realistic distortion on frames. You can even choose overscanned film mode to see edges and film strip with holes, and apply film burn at any time you want.

Professional shooting options

Super 16 allows you to change the focus and exposure settings, adjust the zoom for better shooting of various scenes. Camera shoots at authentic 24fps that creates movie effect (if your device supports it). All parameters (including processing features) can be changed during the recording.

Convenience of use

You can create your own presets based on the available processing options. This allows you to immediately use the camera in the configuration you need, without having to re-configure. It is also possible to process existing video files with built-in video editor.

Ratings and reviews

Although the app does its job, the UI is absolutely not helpful for real shooting scenarios despite the store description claims it's aimed for professionals. For example, there is no way to control white balance. UI buttons maybe look good on a monitor of a developer, but they are hard to use with a real touch screen. Author isn't responsive at all. So if you buy this, you're on your own.

Great app, the amount of free features is incredibly amazing and generous but one problem - the film burn doesn't work when I'm taking a video? Like it works when taking a pic or when I'm just checking it out in various cameras/presets but when I'm actually recording it stops and in the instructions it doesn't really explain anything about how to use it.. please reply.

Been using this app for a while, really love how close the film look is on this app, and the fact that you can make your own presets. A bug that I found when installing this app on my new phone is that the thumbnails for my presents have a black screen, whereas on my old phone, the thumbnails are what was shown when I saved it. Do hope this gets fixed for the next update, because I really enjoy this app!
