Camcorder HUD

Camcorder HUD turns the first-person view into a found-footage style recording. Presets such as NES, SNES and Mega Drive set the colour and look, and the effect adds loud false colour, saturation and brightness changes, tape noise that smears along scanlines, and pixel static. A blinking REC dot sits in the top left, battery bars and a SP tape counter in the top right, and a date and time stamp in the bottom left, placed where Sony and Panasonic put them on their cameras.

The camera behaves like a hand-held device. The picture sways with each footstep and small bumps on landing, leans back when the player stops and pitches forward when walking, banks in turns and strafes, lags and overruns on quick mouse flicks, steadies when crouching, and stretches the field of view while sprinting. The mod is client-side only, so servers run it without any installation, and it does not change world data or what other players see. A warning screen appears once per launch because the effects can cause nausea, dizziness or eye strain, and each effect has its own toggle and slider, while the camera can be switched off entirely.
