Add a photo and Spark gives it the warm colour, shake and grain of an 8mm home movie.

- A simple moment in mind, like a wave or a toast.
Step by step

- Tap Make once you have seen the price on the button.
- Open your Library and share it with the family.
Lines to try with Spark
- “Make this look like a 1970s 8mm home movie, warm faded colour, grain, we wave at the camera.”
- “My parents at a picnic table in 1968 style film, gentle flicker, a kid runs past.”
- “Me on a bicycle in a quiet street, Super 8 look, light leaks at the edges.”
- “Our dog in the garden in a 1980s home-video look, tail wagging.”
- “Our old car on a family road trip, faded orange tones, slight shake.”
Tips
- Keep the action small. Old film showed ordinary moments.
- Pick an era and stay in it. Clothes, cars and colour should agree.
- Use a bright photo. Grain looks best on a clear base.
- Skip heavy filters on the photo first.
