Now this is the way to make a movie tie-in.
Super 8, a new application named after the homonymous film by JJ Abrams that opens on June 10 is not a lame teaser clip collection or a set of slapped together. Rather, it is a video recorder with all the features designed to emulate Super 8 film cameras.
In other words, is like a Wayback Machine for the iPhone and iPad 2, allowing you to record movies at home with a decidedly 60's style. The only thing that is not new applications such as 8 mm camera crop and Silent Film director have offered this capability for some time.
Ah, but Super 8 is free - and it is very slippery. The entire interface is based on the case of a Super 8, with instructions for time, Super 8 "cassettes" (ie, his collection of recordings), and the camera.
The camera comes with your choice of seven photographic lenses, including color, sepia, negative, and infrared, even. For any of them can change a superposition of scratches and dirt and a frame-vibration effect, the latter literally makes the jump from the framework based on the movement of the iPhone. (This effect is probably incomprehensible to anyone who has never seen old movies at home - but really cool for those of us who have.)
