About this app

Turn your phone into a Super 8 film camera, a VHS camcorder, and an early-2000s digicam. Summer Skin grades the picture live while you shoot, so what you see in the viewfinder is already the finished film: real scanned 8mm grain, gate weave, halation, dust, light leaks, and the soft 18 fps flicker of old home movies.

Not a filter pasted on afterwards. Not a subscription.

SIX VINTAGE CAMERAS IN ONE
• Classic 8: sun-bleached, low-contrast Super 8 home-movie memory
• K64: sharp, saturated reversal film with a heavy projector vignette
• Sepia: warm chemical-toned print, projector at full wobble
• B/W: black-and-white 8mm stock behind a clean film gate
• VHS: soft consumer tape, blooming highlights, camcorder overlay, tape-worn sound
• Digicam: choppy 15 fps early-2000s video mode, crushed shadows, CCD color cast

A REAL FILM LOOK, NOT A FILTER
• Grain scanned from real 8mm film, not fake noise
• Frame edges scanned from real Super 8 reels, drifting with the gate weave
• Film burn flaring over the first moments of every shot
• Halation, lens flare, vignette, dust and hairs, light leaks
• 18 frames per second in 4:3, the way the projector showed it
• VHS and Digicam record era-true audio too: narrow tape bandwidth, hiss, crunch
• Everything renders on your phone's GPU. Your footage never leaves the device.

VINTAGE PHOTOS, TOO
Grab a still and develop it like it came out of a shoebox: an instant print, a 35mm slide mount, a page from a scrapbook or old photo album, even halftone newsprint. Add a handwritten caption, save it to your gallery, or pin it into your movie as a stop-motion still.

EDIT LIKE IT'S A REEL OF FILM
• Shots land on reels, laid out as a filmstrip
• Drag to reorder, trim and cut
• Silent-movie title cards with ornate borders and era typefaces
• Lossless stitching: your clips are never re-encoded, so nothing turns to mush
• Export to your gallery and share anywhere

FREE TO SHOOT, ONE PRICE FOREVER
The free camera shoots unlimited Classic 8 film and edits full reels; free exports carry a small watermark and a 30-second limit. A single one-time purchase unlocks every film stock, removes the watermark and lifts the export limit, forever. No subscription, no credits, no ads.
If you love the look of old home movies, camcorder tapes and faded photographs, Summer Skin is the vintage camera app your camera roll has been waiting for.
