Cinemagraphs

So tonight I decided to experiment with Cinemography. What's that you ask? And no, it's not a made up word. Well maybe it is, but it's an amalgamation of video and photography.
My sister had sent me a link to Jamie Beck's work which is visually stimulating and inspiring and reminded me of the Harry Potter scenes where photos and paintings would move so I decided to try it myself.
I used myself as the test dummy so I set my camera down on a tripod and sat in a chair across with my photography camera. Once I had about 20 seconds of subtle movements, I exported it and edited the frames on photoshop and created this gif.
