I like the integration with flicker and such. Pretty cool. I can't wait to try it with video.

The drawing seems really unintuitive to me. You draw a rectangle, and then it puts the rectangle over to the left and up from where you drew it.

Really nice, but I think this is something I could over-think.

Oh, but I think it's cool despite that, just frustrating that it's not drawing where I put the rectangle.

smackfu, yeah that is a bug that i've tolerated throughout development. Will definitely be fixed in any newer releases.

This is time-wastey, artsy nonsense. My very favorite kind. Nice stuff, localhuman.
And yah, some hints would be great!

thanks again, i'm pretty surprised. from my experience, it takes people time to start to like the tool and see it as something they can use to make something cool, so it is cool that people enjoy it without putting in the hours that i've spent with it.
on the other hand, i've found that people get really good at making really cool shit with kinetic sketch after a little practice, so as a first hint i would offer the advice to just spend some time with it. but that is only if you enjoy interacting with it and stuff, and you want to make cool stuff.
as for other hints, i like to set gravity to 0, 0 and get a nice chunk of really colorful bitmap. start rotating it, slowly, and then start playing with gravity. the crazy contours of color you can get are amazing. also, if you get a picture of books, or a picture with text in it and use the bitmap fill you can make some crazy stuff. but i think webcam mode is the coolest. if you have one, try it out (if you have a mac, you might have to set your webcam settings to 'usb camera' in order to use it..). i find it to be a crazy introspection tool, to be able to see yourself in 40 different rectangles, and to see yourself move in 40 different rectangles. i've never seen myself as when seeing myself in 40 different boxes/circles/triangles...
hopefully i'm not too tired out of the idea/project to continue improving it. i think the positive response here will definitely help me out in that regard.

This is awesome. I haven't even tried bitmap mode yet because I've been too busy laying down multiple layers of colored blobs using different blend modes.

I've been playing with this constantly since I saw it. So far this one is my favorite creation.
