ME: THE MOVIE

ME: THE MOVIE turns a stretch of your life into a short film, made from the photos and videos already on your iPhone. Choose the last 30 days, this year, a custom range such as a trip, or pick the moments yourself. The app looks at what you chose — the frames, when and roughly where they were taken, and whether people are in them — and cuts about 30 seconds of your own footage into a film, with an on-device soundtrack. Before you watch, a storyboard shows every moment it picked. Swap, remove, pin or reorder any of them. Add your own words to a shot; they appear in the preview and exported film. For videos, choose a start point and clip length, and optionally keep the original sound. After the film come story cards and a short written look back at the stretch you chose, so the film, the cards and the words tell the same story. Everything happens on this iPhone.
