Playground for Movement
I care about empathetic code and design. Previously, CS at MIT, infrastructure at Discord, computer graphics at MIT CSAIL, computational design at the MIT Media Lab.
It’s well known that Adobe AfterEffects and similar platforms are notoriously painful to use. Only a handful of individuals have mastered the motion graphics techniques required to make even simple animations. In fact, in media and entertainment, motion graphics are often the bottleneck to going live.
Cracked lets anyone create animations with intuitive text prompts. Our goal is to make motion graphics truly accessible through promptable animation generation. We’re focused on building a motion graphics copilot that not only helps generate ideas, but also brings them to life.
We’re starting off by helping folks create stunning launch videos. Email founders@cracked.so to get started!
We met while studying CS at MIT, where we ran HackMIT, the largest undergraduate hackathon in the US.
