8mm is so realistic it was even used to film scenes in the Oscar-winning documentary Searching for Sugar Man!
We have established the de facto standard of real-time retro film emulation. It was featured by Apple in App of the Day, App of the Week, In the Director's Chair, App Store Essentials, etc.
8mm Vintage Camera captures the beauty and magic of old-school vintage movies right through your viewfinder. Dust and scratches, retro colors, flickering, light leaks, and even frame shake, all can be instantly added with a single tap of the finger.

Shooting movies on film may be a dying art, but just because we live in the digital age doesn’t mean we have to abandon our analogue past. We get warm, nostalgic fuzzies from 8mm Vintage Camera’s grainy, flickery film filters and lens effects, conjuring up memories of vacation travelogues screened in wood-panelled basements. It’s not just about old-school kicks, though—this powerful suite of tools can give any video an authentic period look.
8mm playback frozen
cheakyblinders
It used to be a great app but when l went to use it this last couple of times the playback from what I’ve shot in the app freezes and nothing works. Have to shut down the app and reload. Tried deleting and reinstalling but the same happens. I guess it’s not compatible with the new ios. Shame as it was a great little app.
8mm Vintage Camera App Suggestion- Please Read
Scotland Bhoy
Dear Nexvio Please can you add 20 Photo Custom User Presets for Photos and 20 Video Custom User Presets for Video as when I want to take a very sharp clear photo with the 8mm Vintage Camera App, I have to put Softening, Dust, Scraches etc back to zero which is a pain, custom user presets would make life easier, 20 for photos and 20 for videos which is 40 in total or even better you could have 42 custom user presets for photos and 42 custom user presets for video which is 84 custom user presets in total as this app has 42 different film filter stocks so 84 with a 20 alpha numeric user tag setting which the user could name themselves and one last thing, this app has effects such as Softening, Dust, scratch etc, what about adding Lateral Shift, Shake and hair scratch to it, you should download Vintage Film Camera Retro Art app and when it is downloaded select the 3 small lines on the top left and then select Noise Settings and you will see it.
Its a film emulator and not just a retro gimmick!
@gomespete
I am an artist and filmmaker who has worked alot using 8mm film and I love this app. I have used it to make a number of films, which have been shown internationally. I don't use it as a gimmick, or for a retro look, but I like the quality of the images, and the range of colours and film stocks that they you developed. It gives a feel of film and does it sensitively. One film I made - people thought it was shot on 16mm.However **please please please** when upgrading next time, have an option to remove 'dust and scratches' from all the film stocks and shooting options. Only one option in black and white had no dust and scratches. Its the only frustrating element. If you ever upgrade please do that!It's worth considering this app as a serious tool and not a gimmick or just retro look. Making an app that genuinely mimics film textures would be a wonderful thing and there is nothing out there that does that right now. Kodak had one for a while but not for iphone. This is a film emulator, looking at a extension and more advanced version would be amazing. Maybe rethink the retro interface too. Design it as a film emulator, with some customisable features. I look forward to an upgrade, I do hope there is one. I would gladly discuss new features with the developers! Dust and scratches removal would be a simple start. Thanks.
