  "account": "The Aura6, a Kickstarter project slated for release on October 13, is a digital video camera that eschews complexity in favor of simplicity, reminiscent of the Super8 film camera. It boasts a minimalist design, featuring only a record button, an optical viewfinder, a built-in lens, and a detachable microphone. Unlike many point-and-shoot cameras, the Aura6 does not include an LCD screen, settings menu, or multiple recording modes. This stripped-down approach is intentional, aiming to \"keep you in the moment.\" The camera records a maximum of 6-second clips, with a maximum \"roll\" of three minutes. What sets the Aura6 apart is its automatic compilation feature, which organizes the recorded clips into a final movie in the order they were shot. This feature could make the Aura6 an appealing option for beginners or seasoned filmmakers seeking a straightforward filming experience. The creators also highlight the Aura6's potential as a tool for generating social media content. Despite its simplicity, the camera's overall build gives it a throwaway camera aesthetic. Priced at $215 for early birds, the Aura6 will be available through Kickstarter on October 13.",
  "summary": "The Aura6 is a forthcoming digital video camera inspired by the classic Super8 that only shoots up to 6-second clips and automatically stitches them into a short movie",
