About Jamie van Doren

Building a platform where individual content creators and teams, will be able to make, share, and monetize studio quality animated videos - without the studio. So much about what we understand is normal - WHO is normal - comes from the media we consume. But Hollywood can\'t tell everyone\'s story. It\'s left us trying to feel seen and connected with nothing more than the content we can film on our phone or webcam. That constant pressure to perform and put your life on display has led to 71% of content creators wanting to quit social media altogether. And I get it. I\'ve lived it! I\'m a Latino tech founder, who grew up in extreme poverty. I never saw people like me in movies or TV, and when I was a kid, it left me wondering if I even belonged. There are millions of people who feel the same way for the same reason. Today, I lead an incredibly diverse team of amazingly talented people. Together with this passionate team of programmers, designers, artists, and content creators - we\'re creating a ground breaking platform that will help move social content from selfies to storytelling. We\'re unleashing a new wave of content creators, and helping everyone be seen online.

   NeverEnding is developing a new content generation and sharing platform, with easy to use art and animation tools that help you bring your stories to life! With NeverEnding you can create fantastic custom illustrations and animated videos, without relying on complicated, time consuming tools. In fact, if you use NeverEnding, you don’t even have to be an artist! You\'ll eventually be able to build and even monetize your own brand, based on the content you create and share. Initially, targeting gamers and fans of pen and paper RPGs, NeverEnding builds on the popularity of livestreams and podcasts, by allowing anyone to transform their recorded audio into animated videos. They can share these videos on NeverEnding or other social media platforms, or just keep them private for themselves and close friends. Alternatively, gamers can create cut-scenes or intros (similar to what you might see in an RPG video game like the Witcher or Dragon Age) to use as part of their actual live-play gaming sessions. NeverEnding is a valuable tool for non-gamers as well. Aspiring screen writers or authors may want to use the platform to pitch story ideas. Parents may want to use the platform to create videos of their child’s favorite bedtime stories. Our easy to use tool - designed for the average person, unskilled in drawing, animation, or video creation - opens up a never ending world of opportunity for people to take the ideas in their head and bring them to life on the screen. At NeverEnding we\'re empowering a whole new generation of storytellers!
