8mm Vintage Camera App Brings You Awesome Retro Video Effects

"There is an interesting new video photography app called, 8mm Vintage Camera by Nexvio, Inc., that brings your iPhone and iPod Touch back in time to capture the beauty and magic of old school vintage movies.

It accomplishes this by mixing and matching different films and lenses and it does a good job of it. The total number of combinations allow you to get a glimpse into retro filming with 25 old school looks from bygone eras. It even comes complete with retro colors, flickering video, light leaks, dust and scratches (my favorite), and frame jitters. You can add any of these to your video with a flick of your finger."

Polaroid Sticker for Your iPhone

"Do you find yourself slapping all those retro filters on photos that you take with your iPhone 4? Sure, the image sensor technology in the device has come a long way – backlit sensors, larger pixels, better low-light capture, touch focus/light-metering options – but it just doesn’t look as cool as a scratched up Polaroid that has weathered over time, right?

Now you can take things a step further by tacking on some stickers for your device that says, “Hey, my gadget is made of glass, steel and silicon, fits in my pocket and has a processor more powerful than ones found in computers over 20 years ago, but I’ve got this ironic sticker on it that just screams retro.”

Analarm Wristwatch

"Hate the buzzer alarm clock, as I do? Radio station alarm mode not up to the task? Maybe vibration will get you out of bed. Since vibrating beds are expensive and a bit tacky, check out this Analarm wristwatch instead."

Toy Robot USB Flash Drive

"This USB flash drive from the Spanish company Deego is too cute for words. It’s clearly not the sort of robot that kills. He’s more the kind you find in a retro toy chest. He’s styled like an old classic toy robot figure."
