Being a product of 1991, I am fairly well-versed in what makes the 90s the greatest period in human history. Whether it’s the Power Rangers, Pogs or Kevin Costner’s amazing attempts at a British accent in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, it’s easily the best decade.
Now, don’t get me wrong, when I look back at something which isn’t in high-definition, I feel dizzy and as if a headache’s coming on. Trying to watch an old VHS nowadays is like trying to watch someone’s interpretive dance with mud in your eyes, but it still has a seriously odd charm.
Knowing that there’s a market for nostalgia addicts who want to be transported back to an era of low, low, low definition, Rarevision, the guys behind an iPhone app called VHS Camcorder, are certainly onto a good thing:
‘VHS Camcorder shoots videos that look and sound like videotape recordings that have been in storage for 30 years. With a real-time effect preview, you can degrade the picture at precisely the right moment by dragging your finger around the screen or by shaking your device. Remember that birthday when Dad pulled out the huge camcorder and chased everyone around with it? Or that Little League game when you struck out in front of all the girls? And who could forget the day of that embarrassing school play when you fell off the stage? We know you’ve been absolutely dying to relive those moments… and now you can! “That’s freakin’ amazing!” -Everyone’
Downloaded the new "Make Your iPhone Look Like A VHS Camcorder" app. Hours of fun.
