Love the taxi one.

I kinda want to know who "invented" these - the person behind iwdrm.tumblr or this pair. I want to credit iwdrm cos i haven't seen him/her throwing around wanky terms like cinemagraph.

they're two different techniques - cinemagraphs are animating one part of a still photograph where iwdrm captures those loopable moments from films. both are grebt, this thread is the best, and that spinning arm mandala up there O_O

I dunno, the iwdrm gifs often have one tiny part of the frame moving with everything else being static in a way it wouldn't have appeared in the film.

yeah i dont think there's anything different from what iwdrm and these other people are doing besides one is using dvds of feature movies and the other is going out in the world with their dslr

also how do you "animate one part of a still photograph" and have it come out like this?

there's no way that this guy used "clever photoshop techniques" to "animate a still photograph" of this:

Been out for years - they are called GIF's

lol

They're really simple, I think. They're really just two layers. The background layer is a looped bit of film. The foreground is a still from the same angle, with a hole cut out over the part of the image that moves.

^bingo

scruffy.gif = classic

the iwdrm ones are often mindblowing because i can't tell how they're working - when they have multiple rhythms going on (e.g. the latest full metal jacket one), which don't really appear to be syncing up with each other, what's going on? i assume i'm just not polyrhyhthmically aware enough to figure out where they meet (if it's something besides that i'd be very interested to hear it), but that he's somehow caught that he can extract that seamless loop from multiple things going on at once is amazing to me.

If there are multiple pieces looping, that just means that there are multiples "holes" in the foreground cover layer I mentioned a few posts ago.

The cinemagraphs work by using GIFs, a type of picture format similar to a JPEG

When I get back from Denver I'm going to make one of multiple me's walking around my living room. Or maybe cats.

iwdrm and 'cinemagraphs' are really corny, sorry http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9627011/userArmsCrossed.gif

ugh, he made one of project runway gretchen. :(

For once the comments section of the DM reads less intelligent that the article itself

well, maybe not for once

wow last gif is dope cause the blue matches the color of ilx's text

ilx text fly @ u face

iwdrm and 'cinemagraphs' are really corny, sorry

I don't mind iwdrm but yea those cinemagraphs are horrid faux-tasteful gee-whiz bullshit

yes

haha in that DM article,

In 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.

and then...

...you get to experience what a video has to offer without the time commitment a video requires.’

anyway, more seamless gifs please
