Cinemagraph's = Very Cool

TenThirteen

From the article -

These Cinemagraphs are more than a picture, but not quite a video. Their main goal is to visually illustrate a short story. To give you a comparison, think of the magical newspaper from the movie Harry Potter.

Now you are probably scratching your head and thinking how in the word are these different from a GIF(Graphics Interchange Format)? An animated .gif is usually a sequence of stills pulled from a video, combined together and repurposed into a .gif. Cinemagraphs are different because Jamie and Kevin use a single photograph while adding a living moment within it. The process takes many hours of manual editing

Thanks! Yes, interesting! I guess you need a computer to watch these on, couldn't just hang 'em on a wall, so he could sell them as wallpapers! But then again a real movie would do just as well or better, so why would he go to all the trouble!?

commercial photography for websites immediately came to mind. Who is going to be the first on to make one for their smugmug header?

How do you make one ? My friend is into models and fashion shoot this might be something interesting for her to sell her work.

I've shown this to a couple photographer friends of mine. We all feel they are unique and interesting but kind of creepy. Very much a "Harry Potter" effect (in the movies, with the paintings that move). Might work best if your model is a zombie, or wizard.
