Inspiration: The aim of this project is to promote the culture of recording bits of life by way of intuitive shooting, to capture those conveniently forgotten fragments in life.

In designing this camera, we combined the features of 8mm film camera in the 1960s with the technology of modern digital photography. We hope this product can revolutionize traditional camera and create new opportunities for the culture of photography.
Project Duration: This project started from March 2019 in Hong Kong
Operation Flow: There are three operating mode including "off", "movie" and "gif" mode. User can turn on the camera by rotating the mode button to either "movie" or "gif" mode. There is also a frame per second selection button for different scene applications.
