Here's another entry in the
"not super useful, but definitely super fun" category: Ice Cream Sandwich
and Jelly Bean give you a few nifty effects to employ when you're taking a
video. Add a background to make it look like you're in space or standing in
front of a sunset. Or give yourself huge eyes, a swollen nose, or a scrunched
head. The effects all work surprisingly well – they're a good way to make a
goofy video for a friend. Just select the options menu from the camera app and
you'll find the effects nestled in there with other controls like color and
exposure.
If
you're not on Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean, check out the free Videocam Illusion app – it'll give you a lot of the same
features.
