Old Video Camera

Record video that already looks like an old tape. Colors bleed, scan lines drift, the date is burned into the picture. Five aspect ratios at the press of a button.

Old Video Camera turns your phone into an 80s camcorder. The soft, wobbly look of a worn tape is applied while you record, so what you save is already finished. Nothing to edit afterwards.

How it works

• Point and record. The analog look is written into the file, not added later.
• Switch 4:3, 3:4, 1:1, 16:9 and 9:16 with a button. You never have to turn your phone.
• Front or rear camera, with a T/W zoom rocker like the old decks had.

The look

• Colors bleed sideways, the way tape handled color.
• Scan lines drift, a tracking band rolls slowly, the bottom edge tears.
• Grain sits in the picture, and the sound takes on the narrow, wavering tone of a linear tape track.

Date and readouts

• Burn the date into the picture, with the time or without it.
• Show the REC dot, battery and zoom bar the way a camcorder viewfinder did.
• Every control answers with an old mechanical click.
