Your pet has been the main character for years. Now give them a series.

Turning your dog into a cartoon is fun for about a minute. What people actually love is the story: the beagle who thinks the mailman is a spy, the cat who treats the family like staff. That needs your pet to look like your pet every time, the same white sock on one paw, the same torn ear, the same judgemental eyebrows. Character App makes your pet a Character from a photo and keeps that design locked across every Scene and Episode.

Pets are perfect comedy leads because they have a clear want and zero shame. Give yours a job, a rival and a secret. The dog runs a startup out of the doghouse; the cat next door is his competitor; the goldfish knows everything and says nothing. Keep the humour in the situation, and cast yourself as the oblivious human by adding your own photo. Other family members can join with everyone’s permission.

The single-shot pet trends work the same way: your pet's Character behind the wheel of a convertible, lifting at the gym, in a pirate costume. Each is one Clip with a plan, from the Studio or the Playground, with the price on the button before you press. Free accounts can draw the pictures with their 4 Lite pictures a day.

The backyard, the living room and the vet’s waiting room become your World, built once and kept. Each new Episode is a new scheme with the same Cast. Ask the Director for ideas, let the Story break the Episode into Scenes, draw Images, then film the Clips worth keeping. You can do it all on the web or in the iPhone app, which is handy, because your pet will do something funny while you are on the sofa.
