Summer Skin: Super 8 Camera

Strix Technology Solutions

In-app purchases

About this app

Turn your phone into a vintage Super 8 film camera, a VHS camcorder or a retro digicam.

Apply realistic grain scanned from real 8mm film, gate weave, halation, dust, light leaks and the soft flicker of old home movies, or add the swirly bokeh of vintage Soviet-era lenses.

You can also import the videos and photos you already have!

BASIC VERSION IS FREE, FULL VERSION IS A ONE-TIME PURCHASE
Free exports are 720p, up to 30 seconds long, with a small watermark. A one-time purchase unlocks full-length exports, every preset, HD and 4K, and removes the watermark.
No subscription and no ads.

NINE VINTAGE LOOKS
• Classic 8: sun-bleached, low-contrast Super 8 home movies
• Helios: inspired by the Helios 44-2 vintage lens, with swirly bokeh at the edges
• K64: sharp, saturated reversal film with a heavy vignette
• Sepia: warm, chemical-toned print with a wobbly projector
• B/W: black-and-white 8mm film behind a clean film gate
• VHS: soft 80s and 90s camcorder tape with blooming highlights, tracking glitches, the camcorder overlay and worn tape sound
• Digicam: choppy 15 fps Y2K video mode with crushed shadows and a CCD color cast
• Budapest: a pastel storybook grade in peach and powder blue with a soft glow
• Presidio: warm color film with ivory whites, light-blue skies and fine grain

IMPORT YOUR EXISTING VIDEOS AND PHOTOS
Add videos and photos from your gallery, apply a vintage preset, then edit them into a film.

HD AND 4K EXPORT
Export at 720p, HD (1440x1080) or 4K (2880x2160). HD and 4K films are re-rendered from the clean original saved with each clip, so you get the same film look without upscaling.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR PRESETS
Every look can be adjusted with sliders for grain, blur, color, vignette, light leaks, halation, VHS tracking and more. When you like the result, save it as your own preset with a name and a color stripe. Rename,
reorder or delete your presets any time.

A REAL FILM LOOK, NOT A FILTER
• Realistic grain scanned from real 8mm film, not generated 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
• 4:3 frames at period frame rates: 18 fps Super 8, 24 fps cinema, 30 fps VHS, 15 fps Digicam
• VHS and Digicam sound true to their era: narrow bandwidth, hiss and crunch.
• Everything renders on your phone's GPU. Your footage never leaves the device.

VINTAGE PHOTOS
Take a photo, add a frame and a handwritten caption, then save it to your gallery or pin it into your movie as a stop-motion still.

QUICK AND EASY EDITING
• Each clip is saved to a timeline
• Reorder clips by dragging, and trim, mute or duplicate them
• Add title cards with ornate borders and old typefaces
• Save finished films to your gallery or share them anywhere

LONG TAKES
Tap the shutter for a photo, or hold it to film. For a long take, slide into the lock and let go: the camera keeps recording until you tap to stop. Zoom uses your phone's real lenses.
