Extra Credit- Cinemagram



Cinemagram is an application for IPhone users. Users of this application can animate small portions of a photo to create an image that becomes part photo, part video. Videos can also be uploaded and speeded up or slowed down. Just like instagram, users can also filter the photo effect. On the app, users can browse through trending "cines", which are images uploaded by other users that have a lot of views. Users can engage, interact and be creative with photos and videos. An example of a "cine" uploaded can be a picture of coins spinning on a table. The user can animate the coins to move so that it looks like a still picture with just the coins moving. Cinemagram uses your iPhone camera to capture a short video clip, and then convert it into an cinemagraph, where only a certain object in the picture moves. You record a clip and cut it down to a length of a couple of seconds. Then you mask the area you want to move. Lastly, you can share it with other cinemagram users, as well as sync with Facebook and Twitter. This app is my newest favorite app to browse through. Its amazing to see what some users make out of the images they upload.
