Make your photos and videos look like a memory. 2000s Cam puts 59 retro cameras in your iPhone: camcorders, 2000s digicams, film cameras, the first camera phones, and a security cam. Shoot with the look live in the viewfinder, or give photos and videos you already have the same treatment. FLASH THAT LOOKS REAL Flash: the on-camera pop that lights your subject while the night falls away behind them, in a Warm or Classic tone. Digital Flash: the 2004 point-and-shoot look, a bright subject on a near-black background. Both find the subject in your photo, so it works on any shot. 59 RETRO CAMERAS Camcorders: VHS Camcorder, Hi8 Dream, MiniDV '05, Tape DV '01, Party Cam Digicams: CCD 6.0, Cyber '03, Blue CCD, Pocket CCD, Cheap Digicam Film: Portrait 400, SLR '79, Luxe Compact, Cinema 500T, Slide Film, Infrared, Street Mono, Super 8, 16mm Reel, Projector, Fun Flash, Snap Disposable Phones: classic Nokias, the RAZR, Sony Ericsson, the first iPhones, and Galaxy phones Security: Night CCTV Each has its own color, grain, and character. Videos even sound like the era. INSTANT PRINTS AND MULTI-SHOT Instant Mini, Instant Square, and Film Strip frame your photo like a real print. Half Frame, Quad Lens, and Wiggle 3D shoot a sequence, like the cameras that did it on film. SHOOT THROUGH COLOR Red, pink, yellow, green, blue, and purple filters for the film cameras. They work like real glass filters over the lens, not a tint on top. 28 EFFECTS, STACK ANY Fisheye, Ghost double exposure, Star Filter, Light Leak, Halation, Bloom, Prism, Glitch, CRT, 3D Split, Thermal, 8-Bit, and more. Stack them on any camera, each with its own strength. 7 SIGNATURE LOOKS Dreamcam: dreamy motion smear and soft glow Glimmer: star sparkles on every point of light Prism Haze: rainbow edges and a hazy, distant memory feel Night Film: cinema film glow around city lights Super 8: home movie film with flicker, light leaks, and dust Daydream: sunlit pastel haze Halloween: pumpkin orange through ground fog and horror-movie shadows Plus 36 more Looks, including Y2K, Indie Sleaze, Cyberpunk, Disposable, and Polaroid. A REAL VHS CAMCORDER Color that bleeds past the edges, tracking noise, and dropout streaks. REC, the tape counter, and the date are recorded into the picture itself, so they age with the tape like the real thing. EDIT ANY PHOTO OR VIDEO Every camera, Look, and effect works in the editor too. Photos keep their original resolution, and videos keep their sound. RETRO DATE STAMPS The classic orange date, a camcorder overlay, digicam digits, or a CCTV timestamp. Pick the year and make today look like 2003. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads. No data collected.
