Imagine something like Instagram’s filters merged with Snapchat’s Lenses but usable across any social network.
Werble is a fresh creative app that provides a new way for users to create cinemagraphs or “living photos” by artistically blending seamlessly looping animated content with their own photos.
The process is designed to be fast and fun, and to produce good looking, viral and varied results with minimal time and effort. A streamlined randomiser can drastically change the final look to generate unique and striking results quickly; the user may also fine-tune everything if artistically inclined. The results can be shared direct to social networks as videos or animated gifs.
