Seed Round in 2014

VideoSelfie has taken video messaging to the next level and is now focusing on recording, decorating, editing and sharing, although some basic messaging and community functions from Unda are kept. The main technology the company has built involves face tracking and motion tracking, which makes graphics added to videos interactive by detecting the movement of the camera and the movement of your head. Users tap the GIF button, pick a graphic then configure basic settings like enabling face tracking, making the graphic full size, or changing the animation speed. Then you pick a video filter and start recording, optionally adding music. The app ships with its own standard transparent GIFs, but it supports transparent PNGs if you want to add your own. VideoSelfie is the fastest way to send video messages to your friends.
