Something More Than a Photo but Less Than a Video
The ‘cinemagraphs’ look like still photos but actually feature a subtle area of movement designed to grab your eye and keep you looking. The effect is slightly eerie - but utterly captivating. Jamie Beck has worked with motion graphics artist Kevin Burg to make the cinemagraphs by using GIFs, a type of picture format similar to a JPEG which has been around since the invention of home computers. Only now with broadband internet are they bringing it to life with a startling effect. ‘Our cinemagraphs are a way of adding motion to a still image,’ Miss Beck said. n most cases she shoots the photos and Mr Burg adds on motion-graphics over several hours of painstaking editing. The more complex ones take an entire day to pull together. To see more of the artists' cinemagraphs look here: http://fromme-toyou.tumblr.com/tagged/gif Click on images |
