Three guys working from their homes in Dallas, Texas have created Pharce, an app that allows iPhone users to create videos on their phone and post them to YouTube. The $1.99 program, available since February 10, helps users create cute, funny, or mocking videos to share with their friends and family by email or share with the world on YouTube.
Frank Corrieri, Franklin Jones, and Bobby Martin of Dallas, Texas had a big idea, but no funding, nor any idea how to obtain funding in the current faltering economy. So they took the plunge - in October of 2008 Bobby quit his job writing software for Southwest Airlines, and they spent the next three months building an iPhone app.
The novelty software lets iPhone users create mocking, cute, or funny videos from pictures in their iPhoto Library. Such pictures can come from photos the user takes with the iPhone, photographs they "synced" with the iPhone from their computer, or images saved from the web.
Once the user has selected a picture from their iPhoto Library, they draw a mouth on it and record a soundtrack. Then a blocky Monty Python-esque jaw moves along with the sound to create a movie. The user can add sound effects (including the ubiquitous iPhone fart), animations, and props. The application also works on the second generation iPod touch, but requires the optional microphone.
