Cinemagraph

Cinemagraphs are a mix of photography and motion capture. They are mostly a still photograph with a minor, subtle motion incorporated. They are most commonly produced from a short video that is edited in a program such as Photoshop such that only a small portion is in motion which contrasts with the stillness of the rest of the image.

It is also possible to create a cinemagraph using a series of still images, as shown with the above cinemagraph I created. However, the animation will not be as smooth as what a video could produce.
