Cinemagraph

Cinema frames are still images that contain an often small, repetitive movement. To the viewer, the image appears similar as a short video.

Cinema messages are generated by a series of photographs or a video to be taken and placed with image processing software in one endlessly repeating sequence. They are usually published as an animated GIF file which, in addition to the fixed part of the image and the moving parts are included as an animation.

The term Cinema grams (English: cinema graph ) was coined by the American photographer Kevin Burg and Jamie Beck, the animate since early 2011, with this technique, especially her fashion photographs.
