Description

Moon Shadow distorts reality into a wormhole of colourful, glitchy adventure. Map 15 unique generative effects on different portions of the image selected by colour matching. The concatenation of unique, non-deterministic effects creates a unique representation of the users perspective. The collection of stunning effects in Moon Shadow are a result of a community effort. Graphic programmers were invited to write shaders to be included in the app. These artists include Cale Bradbury (@netgrind), Devin Horsman (@horsman), Yancy Way (@echophons), and Rob Butler (@BoTreats). There are no in app purchases. Instead, there is a cheat menu that unlocks new features and effects. Cheat codes can be found throughout the app and get hints by following @moonshadowapp on Twitter. Good luck!

How saving a video you've imported often crashes (crashing on me every time now) 2. When exporting video it compresses, so you can really only import a video that you shoot vertically. Actually...maybe not even that, I should test it. I don't see any similar complaints so also maybe I'm doing something wrong? (Update: Import into premiere and then export the clip and use that version in Moonshadow and now works). Still, love this app! Please fix the crashing 😢

The chroma keying works really well to separate effects and result in whacked out combinations of effects. Never had it crash on me during video or when effecting pre-existing video. Stills work well though video is where it shines. Can take a dull moment and turn it into “duuuuuude 🤯” If you use this on something that changes colors you will be pleasantly zonked for a couple minutes. Have not tried it on those stickers that change colors depending on how you view it, would probably be most 👌

There are so many ways to alter images, and the results are sharp and colorful. I work with a variety of image editing and glitch apps, and this one has quickly become a favorite. It feels immersive, making use of touch-based ways to interact with images while altering them, rather than just pushing a button and waiting for a one trick filter to do its job. Congrats to the developer on creating a beautiful app.

But let's be real and bring up the fact that nobody wants to take a picture with automatic effects. It's good to be able to be flexible with the options of editing or not editing your pictures. So can you please update this app to make it have the option to edit existing photos?!? it would then be a 5 star app!! I REALLY want to use it on my existing pictures.

Other than that, it's great. Looking forward to seeing more effects being added.

Love The App, Would Even Pay For It If…

many of the bugs were fixed when using upload from library feature, it almost never works and just shuts the app off. also should have a little magnifying glass...many of the bugs were fixed when using upload from library feature, it almost never works and just shuts the app off. also should have a little magnifying glass to attach filters to certain parts of the vid/pic

Some of the filters let you get intuitive and hands on with the creation process. Super cool effects and original

I wish you could convert existing pictures, but you know what? That might mess up existing functionality, so I'd rather have something that works and is simple. Thanks.

I don't write reviews often, but this app is actually really cool I'm glad it's not that popular. The last thing we need is every basic teenage girl calling themselves "trippy" on Instagram.

I wish I could tske a course From Connor ( that’s my name too!!) ..... and I only wish this developer would create more apps or even just expand on this idea because the UX / UI is breathtakingly concise and original . I’m such a huge fan ．I can’t sing effusive enough praise ... please make more genius apps ! That encourage customization ...... so many apps now are “ “on-rails” subscription snooze fests that aren’t meant for the hands of “real” artists lol ．　. Much love , Connor 。your friend , khonnor I hope this isn’t the end it would be a tragedy ;( My most sincere appreciation Xo - khonnor
