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.
