After the video processes, you can enter your email address and choose to have your video featured in the public online gallery. The video will be sent a few days later along with a confirmation that the video will appear in the online gallery, if you selected that option. Below, I’ve included a couple of videos done at the standee. Note: The second video is NSFW as it contains some strong language.You don’t have to visit a movie theater to make a video anymore!

You’ll need a webcam as well as a special plug-in (which you’ll be able to download directly from the site). After you record your video,the plug-in will automatically download the video to your computer and you are given the option to share it in the public gallery.
