Could you build this?
Partial Film-style grain, halation, and LUTs can be vibe-coded as shaders, but live preview with a custom camera pipeline and real RAW/DNG processing requires camera and imaging expertise beyond vibe coding.
What it would actually take: A real version would use Android's Camera2 API with a GPU shader pipeline for live grain, halation, and LUT application. RAW and DNG decoding and editing require imaging-science knowledge and careful handling of per-device sensor data, which is the hard part.
