There's a story behind this cinemagraph. This is the second one I made, but my plan was completely different from this one. My plan was to go home and take a video of my cat sleeping on my bed with his tail going back and forth because I have a window that shines right where he sleeps, so it's good lighting, and a dresser that stands next to his spot. I could have lay my Nikon on the dresser and it would have been a cute little cat cinemagraph, but guess what......I forgot. I realized in the morning on my way to school that I had completely forgot to do anything for any of my classes so I whipped my phone out and stood it on the window sill of the car. I video taped my car mirror, but there are a few problems with my video. I guess the car was bouncing a little so my phone kept going in and out of focus with the mirror. The other problem is that the car was going to fast to get a good quality still of one of the houses we went by so the background is kind of blurry and messed up. The last issue is the top of the side mirror. It's slightly moving because I didn't color that part with the brush when I should have. I was too worried about not getting the background into where I painted that I didn't want to color too close to the background. I suggest, for anyone that will consider making these gif-like videos, to keep the camera that anyone will use to video tape COMPLETELY still. If you're OCD like me, you'll be extremely annoyed by any slight movement you don't want moving in your cinemagraph.
