Paramount Digital Entertainment, Bad Robot and QMx present the Super 8 app for iOS devices. The app is free for a limited time.
The Super 8 app is compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod touch (4th generation), iPad 2 Wi-Fi, and iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G.
Super 8 is the ultimate Super 8 camera emulator for your video-capable iDevice. Using Super 8, you can make your own vintage movies and add lens, filter and shake effects, arrange clips and scenes the way you want them; you can even add your own credits. When you’re done, send your Super 8 movie off to be developed. Your masterpiece will appear in your personal movie library where, with the tap of a finger, you can view your movie in the built-in Super 8 projector room, export it to a computer or email it to friends. Super 8 offers seven lens effects, three animated filters, a scratch-and-dirt overlay and frame shake effect that you can mix-and-match to create a wide variety of looks for your movies.

More info and download link (free for limited time) via Apple’s iTunes App Store: Super 8 app.
if so, pretty valuable info for us that are interested in the App-If this is an AD then they are getting paid for both the positive and negative comments.
This is not an ad.
We do not run ads as articles.
This is simply an app that we tried, found interesting, and wanted to let you know about – especially since it’s free for a limited time.
Downloaded!
At least one of us appreciates the heads-up.
Cheers MDN, appreciate the info. Downloaded.
Much appreciated MDN. No use on my 3G, but will be cool on my 5G when my contract expires later this year.
I figured, and much appreciate the info-great app by the way. My comment was just in reply to another reader that said this was an AD. Just wanted to let them know that MDN is better than that:) Keep the recommendations coming!!!
Is there an app that’ll turn your iPhone into a vintage Nokia feature phone or is that only available as a download exclusively on the WP7 program store?
I’ve enjoyed using this app. It caught my attention because it’s made by QMx. As I’m sure ChrissyOne knows QMx started out making Firefly/Serenity licenced ephemera.
Get this app! It is SO darned cool. I am having way too much fun with Super 8, and you will too.
Thanks to MDN for posting the news release – it’s good info (a news release is not an ad, I response to a comment above).
And kudos to JJ Abrams for helping to make thus app free. I can’t wait to see Super 8 the movie. The trailers looks awesome.
Interesting that we’ve come so far in the field of photography and video, and now many people are buying apps to make their photos and videos look old and not so perfect. Those of us who actually had to use the inferior products may not see the appeal.
Just like most of us realized in the 70’s that PBR was NOT good beer. Still doesn’t stop the hipsters from drinking it..
I got the app about two weeks ago and love it. Really cool for shooting retro movies with your iPhone 4.
my daughter and husband just made a movie for a school assignment with this app (because we were having technical difficulties with our real equipment) Check out the movie on You Tube (in 2 parts) “Happy Birthday Slapstick”
