Cinemagraphs edited as part of actual video projects by previous students in class. Please note that your assignment (Project 3) using cinemagraphs is different. Read the guidelines carefully. These class examples are shown to give you a sense of how others used the technique in the past. Some of these projects could be much improved in various aspects (such as lighting, overall framing, etc), but it is their inherent experimentation that make them worth sharing:
