What Is a Cinemagraph?<\/h3>\n
Wikipedia<\/a>\u00a0defines a cinemagraph<\/strong>\u00a0as a “still photograph\u00a0in which a minor and repeated movement occurs.”<\/p>\n Cinemagraphs<\/strong> are essentially GIFs that are frozen, but with\u00a0one area<\/strong> of the image showcasing movement. These “moving photographs” make images dynamic and add visual interest<\/strong> and a creative touch.<\/p>\n Take a look at this example from\u00a0Jamie Beck and Kevin Burg<\/a>, the NYC-based visual artists who helped popularize this photographic technique. So at this point you’re surely wondering \u2014\u00a0how do I create my own cinemagraph<\/strong>?<\/p>\n Cinemagraphs<\/strong> are created from a short snippet of video<\/strong> or a series of\u00a0consecutive\u00a0still images<\/strong>. By masking the part of the image you want frozen, you can reveal the area in the image where you’d like the motion to occur.<\/p>\n You can create a cinemagraph using the Animation tools in Photoshop.<\/strong> This blog post by Spoon Graphics<\/a> walks you through the steps of creating a\u00a0cinemagraph<\/strong> effect in PS.<\/p>\n If you’re more comfortable in a video editing<\/strong> application, the following video tutorial by Peter Wiggins from FCP.co<\/a> will show you how to create a cinemagraph in Final Cut Pro<\/strong> and Motion.<\/strong><\/p>\n
