34 AMAZING ANIMATED PHOTOS
Some are eerie, some are unique while others are just plain awesome.
Animated photos or animated photography (or cinemagraph), is a new form of visual art that is a mix between photography and video.
Capturing the micro-movements of living people and objects into eternal loops creates an illusion of extremely life-like experience. The viewer is magnetically enchanted and feels the presence of the subject that was never possible with static photography.
They are commonly produced by taking a series of photographs or a video recording, and, using image editing software, composting the photographs or the video frames into a seamless loop of sequential frames. This is done such that motion in part of the subject between exposures (for example, a person's dangling leg) is perceived as a repeating or continued motion, in contrast with the stillness of the rest of the image.
