They're really simple, I think. They're really just two layers. The background layer is a looped bit of film. The foreground is a still from the same angle, with a hole cut out over the part of the image that moves.

the iwdrm ones are often mindblowing because i can't tell how they're working - when they have multiple rhythms going on (e.g. the latest full metal jacket one), which don't really appear to be syncing up with each other, what's going on? i assume i'm just not polyrhyhthmically aware enough to figure out where they meet (if it's something besides that i'd be very interested to hear it), but that he's somehow caught that he can extract that seamless loop from multiple things going on at once is amazing to me.

If there are multiple pieces looping, that just means that there are multiples "holes" in the foreground cover layer I mentioned a few posts ago.

The cinemagraphs work by using GIFs, a type of picture format similar to a JPEG

haha in that DM article,In most cases she shoots the photos and Mr Burg adds on motion-graphics over several hours of painstaking editing.The more complex ones take an entire day to pull together.and then......you get to experience what a video has to offer without the time commitment a video requires.’
