Super 8™ Wins 2012 Appy Award

LOS ANGELES – March 20, 2012 – QMx Interactive Inc. announced that its Super 8™ iPhone app was named the Best Photography App of 2012 at yesterday’s Appy Awards in San Francisco.

The award was accepted in person by QMx Interactive CEO Andy Gore. The app – created by QMx Interactive and Bad Robot Interactive, a division of Bad Robot Productions – is a full-featured video recorder that emulates a vintage Super 8 camera on video-capable iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices.

Super 8™ comes with nine photorealistic lenses sporting such effects as infrared, chromatic, x-ray, fisheye and posterize. Users can overlay additional filter effects – like light leaks and vignettes – and "age" their film with a random scratch-and- dirt filter. There's even a frame-shake effect to top off the old-school feel of Super 8™- made movies.

The 99¢ app has been downloaded millions of times since launch, and has been used to produce thousands of YouTube videos by both professional and amateur filmmakers. It was named one of the Top 5 Photo & Video Apps of 2011 by Apple.

The app is distributed by Paramount Digital Entertainment and can be downloaded at the iTunes App Store.
