Put Your Face on a Dancing Body
From LoveToKnow Dance
Using a website to put your face on a dancing body can be hilarious and entertaining when you’re looking for something to do on a rainy day.
Dancing Body Websites
It may sound odd to search for a place to put your own head onto an animated body, but once you discover what exactly it is, you’ll be thoroughly amused with what you can create. For even more fun, see what you can create with photos of your friends and family.
Superimposing an actual cropped photograph onto a computer generated body that shakes and dances to music started a few years ago, and has since taken off as a popular Internet trend. You can now find quite a few sites that offer this service, and many get creative with their offerings, especially around holiday times.
Where to Put Your Face on a Dancing Body
Below are only a few examples of where you can try out this fun online activity.
JibJab
JibJab.com is probably one of the most elaborate websites when it comes to fusing human heads to animated bodies. From the Santa Claus to an Irish Leprechaun, you can attach your head to a wide variety of seasonal characters, and also enjoy a broad spectrum of backdrops from square dancing in a barn to starring in your own nightclub with flashing lights.
While JibJab offers a very limited selection of “Starring You” cards for free, you will have to create an account and upgrade for the whole package. For around $10.00 per 6 months, you can be a member and use all of their services freely. If you have some extra cash to spend, it is a great way to brighten the day of your friends and family and get a good laugh with endless options and combinations of cards.
Office Max
Every holiday season, the office supply store Office Max puts up a section of their website called Elf Yourself. Though it isn’t available year round, you can visit this fun site during the holidays to transform yourself into an elf, as well as a few other characters. For example, during a recent holiday season, you could use the site to “Scrooge” yourself; surely, more creative options will continue to pop up in coming years.
FunPhotor
FunPhotor.com offers a service that allows you to superimpose your face on a variety of different images, and it also includes animations. Again, this service isn’t free, but you can get a wide variety of options for around $50.00.
Mushy Gushy
A final online option is Mushy Gushy, a website designed solely for facial animations. Lots of choices are available, and this website’s personality just shines through everything they do. While signing up is free, Mushy Gushy asks for donations for continued maintenance of the website, so if you love their e-cards and want to see them stick around, financial support is appreciated.
Mushy Gushy also adds the fun element of having an entire section of e-cards that star not only you, but a friend as well. Other sites also have this feature, but Mushy Gushy’s collection of options is adorable and amusing.
Another Option
If you have a friend who is particularly savvy with graphic design, you can easily create your own animation without using an e-card service or special website like the ones listed above. When you create from scratch to put your face on a dancing body, the sky is the limit when it comes to your imagination.
Grab a friend and take advantage of the fun dancing animation options available online. Send an e-card for a special day, create an entire “show” for a friend or loved one, or just amuse yourself when you have some time to kill. As the popularity and novelty of such an activity continues to grow, so will the options available online.
