User Flow
After recording a clip against the greenscreen, participants have the option of either overlaying it onto a selection of text, or to draw a personalized image using the touch screen.
Media
Participants received a printed postcard, and a digital copy of their animations were automatically uploaded to Twitter with a uniquely generated QR code. (See @peoplepicture18)
People Picture was created at Studio TheGreenEyl with Richard The and Agnes Chang. It travelled with O'Reilly Media through conferences in Portland, New York, and San Jose.
