Does it now or might it soon work with live video from the local camera?

Yup. You can see a live video demo with a sample of some of the effects: http://brianchirls.github.io/Seriously.js/

Although, both Firefox and Chrome have been a bit buggy for me with getUserMedia.

Try the Ascii Text effect.

Cool, thanks!

Couldn't get it to work in FF (Mac/22.0) - it asked for camera permission, camera activity light went on, but no images and constant re-prompts for permission. But, worked quite well in Chrome (Mac/27.0.1453.93).

You... you're the one! :-)

Nice work. I'm curious about where you got the video, was that something you recorded, or got from somewhere? I don't really work with video, but I'm sure I can find something useful for it in the future.

Nevermind, I found the video on youtube.

This is where I got the original, raw green screen video: http://okgo.net/2010/01/20/wtf-video-remix-project/

I kinda wish it was at a higher bit-rate. There are some jaggies at the edges of the hair and stuff that I had to cover up by tinting the color of the video.

This is awesome! I can't wait to see the mashups that spring forth from this (and hopefully make one or two myself). There will definitely be something really creative soon. Thanks for doing so much legwork on this.

This doesn't work for me at all on FireFox 22.0 on Windows XP. See here: http://imm.io/18sd9
