I remember when I first discovered Cinemagraph – it was about a year back, and I was playing around it with my brother. I had gotten a new skateboard, so we were making random Cinemagraphs out of the movement of its wheels, and just having a whole lot of fun together.

I was quite intrigued with how it worked and how the developers made it so easy for people to create GIFs like this. Seeing as how we found videos rather distracting, Jia Jia and I decided that we might settle for using Cinemagraphs, which was neither entirely video, nor entirely photograph. We felt that it might be an interesting concept – it wouldn’t be as dizzying as a video, and it wouldn’t be as dull or stagnant as a still image.

We plan to film some footage at Stovetop tomorrow with Cinemagraph in mind.
