Cinemagraphs

These pictures go beyond just animated gifs, they are photographs with a bit of movement. The movement should be about atmosphere, not action. Inspired by the iwdrm and From Me to You blogs.

The distinction between Cinemagraphs and gifs

Here are a few how to's on how to make your own Cinemagraphs. If you have any others, message the mods and let us know! The more accessible this medium, the better.

Some apps for making Cinemagraphs:

Flixel

Echograph

Cinemagram

Some guide lines:

1) No regular .gifs. That defeats the entire purpose of this subreddit. They will be removed. Could someone conceivably frame a still image of the cinemagraph and hang it on the wall, because it would also make a great photograph? If the answer is no, the mods will delete the post, because it's a .gif not a cinemagraph.

2) They don't have to be flawless, but do your best too. The point of this subreddit is high-quality Cinemagraphs.

3) Make sure to put [NSFW] tags. That should go without saying.

4) If you found it on stumbleupon or on a major site, chances are it's already been posted. Take the 5-10 seconds to search and see if it's been clearly posted.

FAQ (Will be updated as more arise)

1) How do I make a cinemagraph my desktop background?

2) "Do I need to give credit/cite my posts?" YES. If the cinemgraph is not your original, you must post the source and give credit. It is unfair to the creator not to.

This is art.

[–]epileprosy[S] 44 points45 points ago

Thank you. I've been told I'm very majestic when I poo.

[–]heterohorse 27 points28 points ago

If this is you, you look a lot like Michael Ian Black. If this is Michael Ian Black, I'd rather not google "Michael Ian Black on the shitter" to find out.

[–]BoringUsername1 3 points4 points ago

Here I sit all broken hearted,

I came to shit but only farted.

[–]K-guy 2 points3 points ago

Yes. yes it is.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

But it's so very close to a fart.

[–]marc4207 1 point2 points ago

Just like this joke.

[–]jerrifus 17 points18 points ago

So courageous.

[–]lostrock -3 points-2 points ago

Thank you for not saying "brave."

[–]Kaelidoz 8 points9 points ago

!! .. You just.... raah.

[–]pfkninenines 11 points12 points ago

I always look for where the cut is, and unfortunately it's quite easy to see the twitching on the shirt (namely the left, but also on the right) and toilet paper. I thought I noticed something on the boxers, but I must have been seeing a different twitch.

I like the concept and title, but there's still a little to be worked on.

[–]epileprosy[S] 34 points35 points ago

Thanks! I wish the jump was a lot smoother; but unfortunately I didn't roll long enough to get clean loops for everything.

On the upside, y'all just stared at a dude sitting on a toilet for far longer than you should, so it all evens out.

[–]SherbetHead 13 points14 points ago

clean loops

not going to FTFY...

[–]septicman 6 points7 points ago

I love that this is a great cinemagraph and completely wtf at the same time. Huzzah!

[–]ArchZodiac 3 points4 points ago

"Elegant gifs for a more civilized age"

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago

Majestic!

[–]LannaFrank 2 points3 points ago

Rick Grimes? you shouldn't poop with the window open like that, the zombies will get in...

[–]ontopic 4 points5 points ago

That seems more like a wind tunnel than an open window, unless this toilet is on the top floor of a skyscraper.

[–]LannaFrank 2 points3 points ago

all bathrooms should come with the 'wind tunnel' option :))

[–]swicano 3 points4 points ago

i fully support this proposition. this seems like exactly the pointless stuff my legislators seem to have all the time in the world for. i should send an email

[–]LannaFrank 0 points1 point ago

ASAP!

[–]SuitedPair 2 points3 points ago

Man, there have been a lot of REALLY impressive cinemagraphs on here lately.

[–]poubelle 2 points3 points ago

It's the toilet paper flapping in the breeze like a majestic flag that gets me.

[–]MrBig0 1 point2 points ago

Absolutely breathtaking.

[–]Squirly 1 point2 points ago

I cannot believe the best cinemagraph that has been on here in weeks is of a man popping.

[–]Squirly 1 point2 points ago

*pooping.

[–]defaultredditlurker 1 point2 points ago

Are you Michael Ian Black?

[–]gonzo_41 6 points7 points ago

More like "The Stinker"

[–]Ye_Be_He -1 points0 points ago

Ha, I came here to say that. Upvote for Will Ferrell snl sketch reference!

[–]Kaelidoz 0 points1 point ago

He's awesome...

[–]mbop 0 points1 point ago

Fucking brilliant.

[–]af_mmolina 0 points1 point ago

Is this from that Blink 182 video?
