Retro videography is primed to take the spotlight from retro photography in 2012, as evidenced by the LomoKino Smart Phone Holder. This contraption is designed to turn the digital video you shoot on your iPhone into analogue video shot on 35mm film strips.
The LomoKino Smart Phone Holder has to be used in conjunction with the LomoKino Camera and does require you to purchase 35mm film. That may sound like an extraordinary length to travel to shoot five frames of video per second, but it's currently the only way of turning your hi-def video into uber-retro, low-def video. It's also kind of fun to turn today's modern world into one a little older. The video here was shot using the LomoKino Smart Phone Holder and looks 40 years old as opposed to 15 days old.
