@duncankauffman love the idea, after creating a new camera the "done" button doesn't work... hmm, a bug?

As a brand guy, I'd love to be able to reach out to fans or people who've liked our brand page with something like this. I can imagine instant micro photo contests happening around specific 'moments' (rather than 30 day campaigns) with limited entries (22 shots) and a winner being selected from each roll etc. (perhaps even within the app by votes?) I love fun factor and lightness of it commitment-wise. 'Don't worry about setting up some grand shot, just show us what you're experiencing right now pass the cam and forget about it...' just as if you picked up an instant camera at a party back in the analog era. There's authenticity hiding behind casual use. And what's 'Real' is seriously compelling. P.S. While early adopter wackjobs like most of us loons here on producthunt.co have their curiosity piqued by not showing what the resulting camera roll looks like, I see that as an obstacle to initial downloads. To echo @mchang and @phixx, in our instant gratification age, if I download something I am blocked from using immediately I'm more likely to delete. Keep jamming on this. Curious to see how it develops.

Hi ProductHunters! I am the head of marketing at Invoke Labs, we are a startup accelerator out of Vancouver, BC. AlleyOop was a hack day project, the prototype was put together over 24 hours, and then we spent a few months polishing it in our spare time. The original idea (pitched by one of our awesome interaction designers, Kiks Chua) was to replicate the experience of passing a disposable camera around at a party with friends - you never know quite what you are going to get when you develop the film. As a part time project it is still a little rough around the edges, but we have been playing with it and like it enough to set it free. Would love to hear what you think, and I am more than happy to answer any questions. Thanks!

Ha! You even make the user wind the camera before taking another picture. Nice touch, @phixx. It's unclear to me what happens to the picture after they're captured. My assumption is that I have to take 22 photos, then "develop" them before they can be viewed. Which is clever. I've riffed on a similar idea of delaying the reward of viewing party pics w/ @thetylerhayes, emailing them to a group of friends the following morning.

@rrhoover your assumption is right, but we were intentionally a little vague about that stuff. We wanted the whole experience to involve figuring it out by doing it. Initially we talked about incorporating a bunch of 'analogue' style touches. Things like when you got your film roll back you would get random photos from other people (developing mistakes), making the viewfinder super inaccurate, making some images bleed into others/double exposures etc... but the more we thought about it the main cool thing is just the surprise of getting random pics from friends.
