016 was a great year for Cinemagraphs with over 13 million Cinemagraphs viewed on Flixel social media channels. That’s a massive increase from 2015, Cinemagraphs have quickly become the most popular visual medium on major platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. It is of no surprise that Facebook tells their biggest customers that if they want to create ads that really perform, they should be using Cinemagraphs. So – what is a Cinemagraph I hear you say? Have you had a double take from a photo in your Facebook news feed that has you staring and wondering? Cinemagraphs are a subtle blend of moving and static imagery. The sheer wonderment that a Cinemagraph achieves from the viewer certainly meets its advertising purpose. It pulls you in for a closer look, it keeps and holds your attention. It caused you to pause, to think and to ask. This is the strength of a Cinemagraph in advertising. Take a look around the web and you will soon see why so many have called 2017 the Year of the Cinemagraph. It’s the top trend in digital marketing. A Cinemagraph allows you to tell a visual story in a whole new way. It’s like being able to create a snapshot, a point in time, and convey emotions in the way a movie, a song, or a book can. but….. We have already moved on………. THIS IS A GAME CHANGER
First spotted last year, John Davis (a fellow Photographer, a Military Veteran and general Tech guy) noticed a simple example of what we now refer to as a 360 Cinemagraph. What is a 360 Cinemagraph? It is the same as a regular Cinemagraph but in full 360 degrees. This extra dimension provides so much space and (uniquely) time to fill, they are destined to overtake most other forms of advertising. Great things come with great challenges. It’s all so new that no one knows how to get the best from a 360 Cinemagraph just yet……….at the time of writing, there are only a couple of companies creating them – trailblazing the path ahead. How far will the path lead? How deep does this rabbit hole go? There is so much to explore, it’s all very exciting. If you would like your 360 Cinemagraphs featured on this page please contact us.
