iLookGangsta and iArrPirate coming soon!

Following up on the success of iLookFunny, we are launching two new iLook Apps soon, as well as a major update to iLookFunny. Since the first release of iLookFunny the most requested feature has been the ability to use existing photos and not be limited to live photos taken then. The next most requested feature extends that to add support for iPod Touches. We are very happy to announce that we’ve delivered and all of our iLookApps will support the iPod Touch and existing photos going forward.

As for the new apps, the first up should be iLookGangsta – which allows you to gangsta’fy yo’self and your friends. We’ve had a blast turning everyone and everything around us into thugs, and we hope you do too.

After iLookGangsta will be iArrPirate. Just in time for Talk Like a Pirate Day September 19th. We’ve been big fans of TLAPD for years, and are thrilled to have something for other Pirate talkers to use to help celebrate this wondrous holiday!

iArrPirate, iLookGangsta and iLookFunny are all currently being reviewed by Apple and should be available soon. Keep an eye on this site, or follow us on Twitter to be the first to know when they are available.

iLookFunny, our fun photo app for iPhone is now available in the App Store. With iLookFunny we’re taking the iPhone 4’s front camera (or the back camera on any iPhone) to a whole new level.

Use iLookFunny to make anyone or anything look funny. Add silly glasses, moustaches or even clown wigs to anyone, or anything, you can take a picture of. We love to use it to get back at our friends by posting their funny faces to Facebook.

iLookFunny currently has 12 different things you can add to your photos as you take them, and we’ll be submitting an update shortly that almost doubles that amount.

Built in Facebook integration makes it easy to post your photos for all your friends to see them. Or you can save them to your photo album and post to Twitter, Facebook or anywhere else later.

We’ve been busy working on more iLook Apps for all of you to enjoy.

iLookFunny

Earlier this week we submitted iLookFunny – a fun photo app that lets you put funny things on yourself or friends when you take their picture. You can add mustaches, googly eyes, awesome sunglasses, clown hair and more. Perfect for getting revenge or just for a good laugh. iLookFunny will even let you post your photos directly to Facebook for easy sharing with your friends.

iLookGood

We have also decided to make iLookGood free! The price change is effective immediately, so now there’s no reason not to try our this great mirror app optimized for iPhone 4.

In more iLookGood news v1.1 has been submitted. This version adds in “affirmations” which will now appear on the mirror as you look at yourself. These affirmations should be perfect for helping reinforce how great of a person you are. We also added in iAd support so be sure to check out the awesome new iAd platform as soon as the v1.1 iLookGood update is approved. Get iLookGood from the App Store now!

Rehearsal is in the can

brian — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 17:30:57 +0000

For the last 3 months (3 months and 1 week to be specific), we’ve been working with David H. Lawrence XVII on a tool for actors called Rehearsal. We think it’s going to help change the way many actors learn their lines and rehearse for their roles and auditions. With it you can import your script (via PDF or Word Doc) and then work with it the same way you would typically work with a hard copy script. You can highlight your lines, place beat markers, even text, audio, photo and video comments. When you’re ready to start practicing you can record your lines, and then play them back. On playback the script will scroll along teleprompter style so you don’t even have to worry about that anymore.

We’ve tried to make this as affordable to users as possible and have options to pay per script, per month or per year, depending on your own needs.

Take a look at our “5 minutes to Rehearsal” demo/training video below learn more, and check back here or on the Rehearsal website for more info as Rehearsal is realeased.
