I recently discovered a really cool service at http://www.xtranormal.com which allows you to pick a scene with pre-set characters, then lets you choose whether you have one or two characters, and animates whatever custom text you decide to input.

Very neat, and most of the scenes are free. The only drawback is an advertisement at the end of your movie. Additionally you can pay for a premium version that is void of ads.

Some of the extra features of the website allow you to choose male or female characters, change character race, select ambient music or a soundtrack, choose from several different languages and dialects. You can change camera angles, scenes, and much more.

This would be a really great tool for people looking to do an online animated presentation for their website or business, especially with the premium service they offer.

Happy Surfing!
