A couple of years ago, something happened.
I discovered the wild and whacky world of the Cinemagraph. Imagine if you will a still image you've come across while cruising your regular social media feed. You look briefly then before you can exercise your digit's right to swipe, you notice that a small part of the image is moving. That, my friend, is a Cinemagraph. A blend of moving and still images. It's different. It's unique. And people are starting to use them in advertising projects the world over. BTW, they're also a lot of fun to make even if they can be bothersome to conceptualize and pump through a computer program. Sadly, that ol standby that is Instagram, doesn't allow GIF files. (Which are perfect for Cinemagraphs.) I'm hoping that will change in the near future. Until that happens, I will continue to load my GIF Cinemagraphs onto my Facebook page and everywhere else that accepts them. (You can't stop me Instagram!) Watch for more Cinemagraphs from me as well as Stop-Motion Animations with a bent towards the commercial product world. Peace be with you. |
