A never ending glass

Well here’s my first attempt at those “pouring” cinemagraphs in which what ever’s being poured simply never ends. I was actually surprised as to how quick’n’easy it is to put together something like this. It also opens doors to endless possibilities. This one took me no more than 5 minutes to make.

Goodnight

She blows out her candles before going to bed. But they just seem to go on forever.

Espresso Italiano

I am literally about to make myself a nice double shot of espresso to start off my day. I thought it would be nice to create a nice reminder to stare at every time I feel sleepy at work. Let’s just hope you can actually see the animation this time. I don’t know why it doesn’t show for some people. Does it work for you?

This is the city I live in. It fascinates me every single day. This is a GIF/Cinemagraph I put together today because the weather is amazing! The clouds gave a really cool effect. What do you think?
If you don’t see it animate, then please click on the image. I guess it works for some and not for others!

Hey look! It’s Jamie.
The beautiful young lady who brought back GIFs like never before! I have been following her work very closely with the hopes of learning how these beautiful cinemagraphs were made. And guess what? I am beginning to get a hang of it. As a thank you to Jamie for her inspiration. I decided my second cinemagraph should be of her! Hope she likes it! :)

I hate to break it to you, but it doesn’t look as if GIFs are disappearing anytime soon. Those ancient animated images — once limited to   gaudy “under construction” signs and chain-mail fodder — are receiving a new lease on life as of late, thanks to a little something called  cinemagraphs.

This is actually just a fancy name for an animated GIF, but specially designed with a purposeful artistic goal. Super model, Coco Rocha, describes the technique as “more than a photo, but not quite a video.” The intent is to augment, or draw attention to, certain aspects of an image through localized animation — for example, a breeze blowing through a subject’s hair — and masking the remainder of the animation to appear static. It’s by no means a new phenomena, but the technique is a little more involved than creating your average meme-worthy GIF, and can produce some incredibly cool results.

I’ve started creating still GIFS as you can see from my previous posts. But I’ve finally learned how to create a true cinemagraph which means that where the people in the image should be moving, they are frozen and a specific element in the image continues to move. Here is my first true cinemagraph:

I was bored at the office. So I thought I’d put this little thingy together of the logo on my polo shirt appearing/disappearing. GIFS are addicting. That is all.

I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.

I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute cookies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.

Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, after work, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.

I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy eveningwear. I do not perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last summer I toured Albania with a travelling centrifugal-force demonstration. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me.

I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations for the BBC. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on holiday in Australia, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.

I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four course meals using only a mouli and a toaster oven. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis.
