Freak Show software

(Portland, OR) - November 2, 2006 Consumers whose Macs shipped
without Apple's not-for-sale Photo Booth software can now enjoy for
free the same effects with Freak Show. Paying Freak Show's $12.95
registration fee unlocks features beyond Photo Booth such as:

nine additional effects,

the option to save QuickTime movies,

and the ability to enjoy the effects full screen.

Although Freak Show looks and acts like Photo Booth it is a bit
different under the hood -- unlike Photo Booth, Freak Show does not
require Quartz Extreme or any particular video card -- it can run on
any Mac that can run Tiger. Furthermore, Freak Show's effect engine
can access video frames from the immediate past, thus making possible
the time-based effects in Freak Show's Extreme tab.

Freak Show requires Mac OS 10.4

Quote:

Gregory Cosmo Haun, the developer of Freak Show, said, "I was given
an iSight for Christmas and wanted to find things to do with it
beyond video conferencing. I had worked with video art in college and
was a fan of Nam June Paik and others and I felt the medium had
potential. I played with video effects using processing.org software
and was impressed with what people were doing with it, but then
discovered Apple's Core Image API and there was no looking back. I
learned Cocoa just to exploit Core Image for these effects. I began
the project working on fairly complex effects, but when I saw how
much kids (and adults) enjoyed Photo Booth's relatively simple
effects, I decided to incorporate something similar."
