When most people think of creators, they think of people standing in front of a camera sharing everything about their lives—from their favorite products to intimate details about their love lives. But in an age where the internet is more invasive than ever, where does that leave content creators who want that little extra privacy? This is why Jamie Van Doren is building NeverEnding, a platform that lets camera-shy creatives get a chance to share content via avatars and animation.
“My thought was, wouldn’t it be fantastic if there was a platform where you could take control of your own narrative? Where you could share in your authentic voice without being in front of the camera?” Van Doren said in a Zoom interview with Passionfruit.
NeverEnding’s recently released, early-stage beta tools create 2D and 3D avatars for social media and live streaming. With nearly 50 points of customization, NeverEnding’s Character Builder lets you create and color billions of unique characters. Users can also bring their avatars to life with the platform’s webcomics feature, which gives them the tools to create a comic strip or an entire graphic novel based around their avatar.
