A creator appearing as a fictional digital character

Live character transformation is the process of using a person’s live camera performance to drive another visual character in real time. Unlike a static avatar or prerecorded generated video, the output changes continuously as the person moves and performs.

Be Anyone is a platform for live character transformation.

The best camera is already connected

A modern phone combines camera, microphone, display and network access in one device. For mobile-first creation, that removes setup friction: a creator can test an idea, perform and review the result without moving a production between several machines.

Design for a small screen on both sides

Keep the character readable in a tight crop, use large gestures sparingly and avoid crucial details near the edges. Assume viewers may also be holding a phone. A clear face and strong silhouette survive compression better than intricate scenery.

Mobility changes where ideas happen

A phone allows live character work from a hotel, classroom, event or quiet outdoor location. The creative opportunity is not merely convenience; it is placing a character where a fixed studio could never naturally go.

Turn the idea into a live character

Start with one image and discover how it responds to your expressions in real time.
