Digital Anarchy is the creator of Beauty Box Video, an award-winning digital makeup plugin for retouching skin in video productions. Since 2009, Beauty Box has been a critical tool for dealing with skin and makeup problems that HD/4K/8K video reveal. High-resolution cameras and bright video lights often reveal an unnatural amount of detail in the skin, making makeup, digital or otherwise, necessary to keep talent looking their best (and you’ll have happy actors/actresses).

It’s become the industry standard for doing fast, automatic skin retouching and digital makeup, used on everything from YouTube videos to some of your favorite Feature Films. Beauty Box Video solves these problems by giving subjects an incredible makeover in post-production, using state-of-the-art face detection, masking, and smoothing algorithms that preserve important details and the natural skin texture. All this combines to create realistic digital makeup. The retouching is subtle and the resulting effect looks natural creating a look that is indistinguishable from real makeup.

Platypod Pro LLC is a small and family-owned business committed to making excellent quality products for professional photographers at affordable prices. We believe our unique and simple design makes the Platypod an extremely versatile piece of equipment, that’s usefulness is as vast as the user’s creativity.
 
The inspiration behind the original Platypod Pro happened when Larry, the CEO, and Inventor, had to make a choice between packing a lens or tripod on a hike through Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah. The need for a steady shot forced his hand and he begrudgingly chose the tripod. By the end of the hike, the extra weight made him feel like he needed both a chiropractor and a cardiologist. He searched for a light, small, and practical mini tripod for shooting in the field but couldn’t find anything able to support a DSLR camera with a heavy lens.
 

Inspired by the duck-billed platypus, an animal with flat and broad feet, Platypods are designed with an unusual but highly ergonomic and elegant shape, perfectly balanced for DSLRs and lenses.
