Roaming around the iPhone app store I ran across this little gem, Vintage Video Maker. It takes any video you have on your iPhone and lets you alter it to look like a silent movie complete with piano music and all. Boring mundane footage has never been so interesting.
Here’s a video I had on my phone of the lalakitteh’s going crazy over catnip. I applied a few of the techniques they suggested and voila!
I can tell this app is going to be a lot of fun, though it does have a few drawbacks. You have the ability to do black and white, speed up the frames, and add piano music, but once you set the selections, you cannot edit them again. I would like to be able to preview how the video is going to look before saving.
Your completed video automatically saves in your photos section, which is great because you can then just email, MMS or send it to YouTube. It would be nice if there was an easy way to share it on Twitter, Facebook or YouTube directly from the app. Hopefully some of these features will be added in later.
Additional features of the app include 60’s style home video effects and the ability to adjust the speed of the frame however you like. Overall I think it’s worth the three dollars but before you rush out and download it you should know that you must have the iPhone 3GS for the app to work.
