Mom’s Day is On!
Mother’s Day is sneaking up on everyone this weekend, even us. This year we’ve added loads of stylized content to our vast array of funny Mother’s Day eCards, but with a few interesting changes. We did some research and found that the majority of people have a hard time getting a hold of a nice…

Jokes and Spokes
Working out of Venice beach, at least half of our staff bikes to work every day, riding down the shoreline or through the colorful neighborhoods. This has lead to a massive bike room, with six racks, spare tires, helmets and pumps strewn everywhere. And a scooter. Evan rides the scooter. Some of the bikes are…

Giving Tech some Respect
Most people have no idea what kind of coding goes into an interactive site like ours, especially when you’re coming up with and modifying the kind of tools that nobody has ever created before. Our tech force is immensely important when it comes to behind-the-scenes at JibJab and today is a great example: tech just…

Going Greenish
In a continual effort to let the world know that we care, we’ve installed little recycling areas all around the office. There used to be just one main recycling area, but now we’re capturing boxes, paper, bottles and cans in every little nook and cranny of JibJab. In honor of Earth Day, why not send…

Attempting an Overhead Angle
We’ve added a ton of amazing baby eCards to the site lately, and wanted to share this little behind the scenes bit. We jimmy rigged a camera to the ceiling of our studio in order to animate these baby toys stop-motion style. Here’s a little peek to understand the perspective, and don’t forget to check…

Dying Eggs, Eggs Dying
We had a little fun at lunch today and busted out one of those drug store egg dye kits! The colors always come out so light… they tell you to add vinegar, but who wants to eat an egg that smells like vinegar? Speaking of, we’ve got a few egg-centric Easter eCards to enjoy while…

Caption Contest!
We’ve been modifying action figures for an upcoming short and this ridiculous one needed a… reduction of sorts to be a little more family friendly. Once we saw how creepy Devin looked with a mask on and the dremel tool, we had to throw some weird sunglasses on him to complete the look. One thing…

Belting Barbershop
Most JibJab songs you’ll hear are never quite music to your ears. After all, nobody really expects politicians to sing like opera stars or Bono. Plus, not many of us have had music lessons. It’s our theory that the best way to mask bad singing is by getting as many bad singers together on a…

An Editor Extraordinare
For the past few months we’ve been excited to have Daniel here in house, working his animation and editing voodoo on what we like to call our “shorties”, aka the remixed public domain footage eCards we feature at JibJab.com.
