Super cool. Wondering if the prices are the same for original art as for the artist generated works.

Hey, this is a great idea! Are you going to put out an API for this?

10 frames is a little scanty, but I think the idea is great. I'm afraid most of my favorite gifs won't fit, but using this type of display is forehead-slappingly obvious - now that they've done it, of course.

You should elaborate on whether you mean an affiliate API or something else. An API means nothing when the subject is a user-catered service

Ok sure, let me elaborate. Will you have an API where I'll be able to send a request with a gif and an address to send it to, similar to lob?

I want to see more shots of the actual prints though, I only saw one in the video, be good to get a better idea of the quality of the print and the motion.

Awesome idea at a pretty reasonable price. Regarding the video... they might want to invest in some acting lessons haha.

Hi, thanks! 10 frames is a little short right now we agree, and we're working with our manufacturer to get even more. The main constraint is the registration accuracy between the lens and the print, which gets super hard when printing more than a few frames.

Yeah we are so bad at acting :)

We even knocked over our camera while filming the shot referencing the BitBucket "Spooning" video: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/338114/gifs/by_me/kickst... reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYBjVTMUQY0
