Have you ever wished you could be in two places at once?

Is the thought of getting up for that early morning TV Interview really cramping your nightlife?

Never Fear! The Talking head is Here! 

Just pipe an audio signal through and watch as the Talking Head comes to life and lip sinks your prerecorded interview.

Guaranteed to be totally effective on TV audiences everywhere.

Hey Michael, Bre's going to be on the Colbert Show in two days. Could you build us something awesome to bring on the show with him?

This was my first project for Bre and MakerBot, done before I was employed there.  We created the head from 3D scan data, and my friend Jestin Stoffel created some simple software to let the head lip sink to any audio it could hear.

After this project, Bre Pettis hired me full time.
