A cinemagraph, just for fun.
Mar 21, 2017 22:40:16 #
It was not a particularly nice day, outside, so I stayed inside, and tried to learn something. The idea of a cinemagraph sounded like fun, so I thought I try to learn something about it. I never shoot video, so I had to learn just a little about that, first. My first effort was fun, but probably too subtle. It was just a shot of me, reading a book by candlelight. The only moving part of the picture was the flame. Some of my beta test subjects missed it, so I had to go for a somewhat less subtle approach. I also wanted to take it up a notch, in terms of difficulty. So, here we have, just for fun, a composite of cinemagraphs. (I could have done the other two, still photos, as well, but I was kind of thrilled this worked.)
It appears that you can't see motion unless you use the download.

Thanks! It's fun to see what you can come up with, without leaving the house.

Excellent. I like the the setting with not all images in movement, but agree with Nikonian72 re: the second hand.

Thanks, all!
To make the second hand work, without looking too choppy in a loop, I would have to include a full minute of video. The resulting GIF file would be huge. Also, I assumed both of my video layers had to be the same length. Maybe different lengths are allowed, but, if they were, the best that could happen would be that the shorter video layers would complete, then wait, for the longer one to complete. I suspect that would be very choppy.

Did you mean that you tried the download, and saw no motion? If so, you've got me stumped. I'm also on a 64 bit Windows 10 PC.
I know that, when I've sent these animated GIFs out in email, the folks running Outlook have not been able to see motion. Those folks had to download the GIF from the email, and look at it on their PCs.

Thanks! It was all Photoshop, nothing else. The basic technique is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKA4cqv0IjE. I took it up a notch by adding a new still shot as a background (the living room), and used two video layers. In Photoshop, you can transform video layers any way you want, as long as you convert them to smart objects, first.
