       | Pretty cool concept! I feel like it would have made more sense to
       | get multiple samples of each frame, and let all the users
       | upvote/downvote frame versions to arrive at the best ones.

         | Just get multiple versions, discard outliers per frame, and
         | average.

       | But it looks like a lot of the preview frames are empty or just
       | bad words.
       | 
       | The credits look amazing.

       | You can see a "preview" of the movie by clicking out of the email
       | box and clicking "PLAY" on the bottom right. It's basically what
       | you would expect from a drawing site hosted on the open
       | internet...

       | What are the copyright implications of this work?
       | 
       | Is it legal to distribute the stitched together frames without
       | audio?
       | 
       | Do you think this project is going to get DMCAd off the internet?

         | making it subject to copyright restrictions.

         | Is it legal, as a transformative use? Probably not. Andy
