Cinamatic – New iOS Movie App from Hipstamatic!
Oh yes! Hipstamatic have released a brand new motion movie picture app! When Hipstamatic set out to reinvent photography, they looked at creating a tool that not only captured the pixels, but also captured the emotion of the photographer and the subject. In 2009 they introduced HIPSTAMATIC; focusing on the joy and celebration of analog photography, they created a new experience that inspired the world to fall in love with the square filtered image.
Today, as photography has truly become the first and only democratized art medium, they look to the future of video, or as they refer to it, the motion picture. Moving images have been around for nearly 100 years, and we’ve all felt the pain and agony of capturing, editing and sharing a beautiful film.
Hipstamatic’s goal was to create an experience that truly captures the emotion of a moment that a still image just can’t. In their pursuit, they’ve found that just filtering a video clip isn’t enough. It took them three years of working with the idea of recreating the motion picture, to include creative elements like timeline manipulation and transitions, all from your mobile device. Today, it’s ready and waiting for you to download in the Apple App Store!
We would love for you to download this app and create wonderful mobile movies and send them up to our special Mobile Movies Flickr Group – curated by Donna Donato each week, for inclusion in her Mobile Movies Column with us, please see here.
Cinamatic retails for $1.99/£1.49, there are currently two in-app purchase kits available, a Starter CinaPak for $3.99/£2.49 and a Vintage CinaPak for $1.99/£1.49. Click here to download.
Cinamatic supports iPhone 4 and higher but runs better on iPhone 5 – it has actually been optimised for 64 bit (iPhone 5s)
