PuppetShorts app for iPhone and iPad

Puppet Shorts makes the magic of character-animation accessible to all, using a brand-new approach: Multitrack Puppeteering.

Users capture a background photo using the device’s camera and then record a short line of dialogue, which becomes the soundtrack to their movie.

Choose a puppet-character and start animating! Lip sync is automated, but the user creates all of the other actions for the puppet’s torso, head and facial features by puppeteering one feature at a time.

A simple input region is uniquely and optimally targeted to each of the 15 animatable channels of the puppet, from head-movement, to eyebrows, to blink, to emotion.

Quickly create short quirky movies and share them with your friends.
