What the interview doesn't tell you is that the creators think you should pronounce it "cinema-giraffe."

(Seriously though, these are neat.)

I follow their tumblr in hopes of them posting those things. They're sort of how I imagine wizarding photographs to be.

Neat idea, but these are not subtle enough for me. I'd like the photo to be interesting enough to peruse for a while, then have someone blink once every fifteen seconds, or turn their back and stay there. It would freak people out.

So much work for such an underwhelming effect. So, not having followed all the links: who are the real artists working with the technique?

Thank you! Beautiful scenes.

When are we going to have full videos on pieces of paper, like cards you can send to your family and friends through the mail if you want.
