The students in the spring DIG2142 Digital Capturing and Streaming class have just finished creating cinemagraphs.

If you are unfamiliar with the term, a cinemagraph is a digital image designed to look like a still photograph but created with the same process used to develop an animated gif. Using masking, students are able to control what appears to be moving and what remains static. The end result is a photographic-style image but with subtle, looping motion.

Here are just a few examples from the class:
