Elf Yourself style application?

April 29, 2009 10:40 AM

I'm looking for "off the shelf" code/functionality that works like the popular ElfYourself thing done by EVB in San Francisco. I'm hoping to be able to have users upload a face photo, and have it appear in an animation. Anyone know anything about this? (I'd post a link to ElfYourself, but it's down for the season).

Have you tried JibJab?

not that I have any reason to know this, but the people who own that patent are, shall we say, very zealous in protecting their copyright/trademark/etc. As far as I know there is no make your own, other than a custom soln thru Jib Jab (who license from those guys) or one of their existing (and, frankly, IMHO, creepy) products.

Maven... thanks. We have a need for this, but it has probably moved out of our league pricewise. Thanks for the info.
