Let me tell you as an user of this software that this is fantastic! The work that has gone into this product is incredible! Look what I built for my app http://www.creatorfinder.com/ (You can see the video towards the bottom).

You can control stuff like the camera location, gestures, facial expression all by clicking and typing. Really cool!


Howard and Leslie is a great example of what can be done in this exciting new medium.

Wow. If that's your ideas of slightly NSFW, I'd like to see the really dangerous stuff.


you know it was kind of nice back when artistic endeavors took major investments of time and money. now I don't have any excuse for not being creative >_>


Why do they always have to have politics in these sorts of things? I don't care if you're an Obama supporter or a Palin supporter, but putting stuff like that in a site like this just ticks 50% of the people on your website, because you're making fun of "their man" or "their woman".

Unless that's what they're trying to do.


Reminds me of that _old_ game from MS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_Movie_Maker

Couldn't do text-to-speech, but you could record voices.


What a sweet web app! Awesome monetisation options to do with extra props / characters / extra long movies.

Sweet.


I doubt you read this site Luc Tremblay, but congrats!


Definitely look for the ones based on Dinosaur Comics.


It's mainly dialog and speech based movie


I think that this covers majority of funny movies.


'Looks like a neat idea. Mac? Linux?
