Remember Polaroid cameras? The ones that immediately serve you a photo? You probably remember them, because in recent years hipsters have taken care of it, if nothing else. However, it is a mode of photography that reached its peak of popularity at a different time. Analog time. But what happens if we take something from history, something from the present and mix it well? Often many interesting things. This time there was a Polaroid camera that prints GIFs instead of photos.
Instagif NextStep, as designed by him Abhishek Singh named, it looks exactly the same as the camera Polaroid OneStep from the end of the 70s of the last century.
It's a camera Singh made 'from scratch', which took him quite a few weeks, but now he says it would only take half that time. He made cartridge, which prints GIF and sends it through the slot to your hands in a few seconds. Thumbnail it has a polaroid effect, which means yes it slowly disappears over time. Singh decided to describe the entire process online as well, challenging enthusiasts to do the work themselves. But it is a rather complicated job, because it requires mastering the 3D printing technique and modeling and good knowledge of electronics.
If you're going to do it, good luck!
