What an interesting way to revive good old GIFs!

Like what you’ve seen in most GIF animation, cinemagraph is a product of still photo with minor elements moving on. It’s nothing impressive on technique but what makes cinemagraph unique is it brings back certain part of the photo to life, thus making the entire photo more realistic, attractive and sometimes even thought-provoking, just like the magical newspaper from the movie Harry Potter.

Creating a cinemagraph is no walk in the park (or is it?). Some of them took an entire day to make, but the results are breathtaking!
