We made this together.

This is my first Cinemagraph. Jon and I spent Sunday afternoon filming, editing and constructing. The trick is to find both an img and a movement that stands outside of the idea of film but still tells more than an abbreviated or static story. We didn't spend an inordinate amount of time on logistics (roof access and an iPhone 4S usually solve everything anyway) or design details (blur tool ftw) - this was just a first trial to get the hang of things - but the end result made me think of a poem and means I'll probably use each further cinemagraph as an excuse for creative writing exercises.*



*And yes, I kept a detailed journal of my feelings in high school and often listened to the same Tori Amos album on repeat. Lit Nerd-dom really is the gooiest Nerd-dom.
