London: The British phone company EE has provided a facility called ‘Mini Movie Makers’, thanks to which teenagers can add 3D objects, dinosaurs, spaceships and other animated characters to their videos while staying at home.
In fact, it is an Augmented Reality (AR) tool that adds a very realistic look to any video, from spaceships to other characters. This way your kids get into a real movie environment that can be made into a wonderful video.

Currently this feature is developed only for Instagram and also works on mobile phones. Clicking on the link opens a window on the app where the 3D character can be added to the video by touching. After that you can also create a video.
Interestingly, the background of a typical home video can change completely and include superheroes, villains, flying cars. Add dinosaurs to Jurassic mode and fairies can be seen in Fantasy. All the characters look real due to being 3D and can be animated.
Experts can add four types of video effects and backgrounds at this link Action, Fantasy, Jurassic And Science fiction Mode included. Interestingly, this is also a competition that will continue till February 9 and the family making the best video will be invited to the BAFTA Film Festival and Awards.
