App Profile: Slide – 3D GIF Camera

This app reminds me a lot of the finicky film cameras that it was modeled on. It only works if you learn how to use it. That means composing your picture first and then sliding the camera, and also remembering to only shoot extremely well lit scenes as the 240 frames per second camera that this app uses has a small sensor and a fast shutter speed. That said used right it is a really neat introduction into the world of wigglegrams and it costs about 1/20th what the cheapest film stereo graphic camera costs!

Read reviews about subject being out of frame. I had this issue while getting the hang of it, but the key is like the instructions say--compose first. What you see when you tap is what you're taking a picture of. The slide just adds the shift to that. Don't think that you're somehow sliding the subject into the frame later. Compose first!!

i was a bit hesitant to download after reading the reviews, but as there's such a lack of good gif making apps on here, i decided to try it out. it actually works really well. you do have to frame the image in-camera before shooting, but it's not too difficult to do, not sure why everyone is freaking out about that. the reason it doesn't work well in low light is that it's using the high speed camera (240 fps) which doesn't work well in low light - it's this fast shutter speed that allows the app to capture an almost still image. plan on using it in good lighting. looking forward to more features & improvements.
