As someone who shoots lots of HD video and even digital photographs, I must admit that I’ve always had a soft spot for lo-fi image making. There’s just a wonderful quality to the funkiness of certain things that gives pictures some soul. We are at a strange junction in time as 8mm film is getting harder and harder to get, much less process. And I have to be honest, lo-fi digital stuff never did it for me. BUT – recently there’s been some creative ways to get the job done. I used Takayuki Fukatsu’s wonderful QuadCamera app for the iPhone to make these mini movies at lunch the other day. QuadCamera can be configured to take either 4 or 8 images onto one picture on the iPhone. The speed is variable as well – though I tend to set it pretty high. I’ve then split the images to make a groovy 90′s style animated GIF file with a 70s vibe to it.
