If you're an iPhone user, or you have a friend with an iPhone, you need this app!
It's the new, easy-peasy way to make cinematic .gifs (or Harry Potter style moving pictures to you & me!).
Aptly named 'Cinemagram', I have a feeling it's going to take the blogging world by storm over the next few months.
Remember the Instagram explosion?
Yea, well this will do the same.
I've only just downloaded it & haven't had much time to play, but popped outside to capture the breeze...
My personal favourite, by valentinadep

Other users have some much better examples...
I do have a few buts...
I don't think it will ever be quite as popular as Instagram, simply because it's significantly more difficult to make something cool, whereas a monkey with an iPhone can take great Insta-pics.
I also have a problem the sharing function. When you share your Cinemagram, friends can click on it and watch your creation... but Cinemagram don't attribute it to you. It doesn't say "Made by John" and give an option to follow John.
Effectively this just means that users feel a little insignificant and there isn't much of a community feel about the experience.
(The .gifs in the blog post are embedded directly from Cinemagram, but I can't leave usernames because it doesn't tell me who made them!)
But, seeing as it's relatively new, we'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that they're looking into it.
None the less, it is great fun & if you have a blog, Tumblr or busy Twitter account, you can share something that feels truly magical.
Download the app here, follow RosieTheLondoner & the far more advanced Valentinadep and then leave me a comment with your username so I can find you!

I think yours is my favourite of those actually! There's something about the grass that is quite mesmerising.

love this! I'm always looking for new i phone apps! oh, and I LOVE harry potter, so win win
ReplyDeleteSuzi x
you should try gifture http://giftureapp.com/ very much like instagram (UI is almost identical, and its a lot more fun to use, way more cool stuff to create gifs with)
ReplyDeleteI'm fascinated by this app. I've had it for a week or so now and I've tried but they never end up as good as I want them to be! Lots of practice me thinks. I totally agree that it'll never be as big as Instagram, but it's a quirky little alternative for a bit of procrastination at work :) x
ReplyDeleteOMG im downoading this app right now !!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletewww.liveyoungabroad.com
Excuse me while I go download this! I love yours, it's very artsy! xo
ReplyDeleteAw, love your breezey cinemagram, Rose!
ReplyDeleteIs this a sponsored post? Sounds like a good app, might try it out!
ReplyDeleteNot at all, I just thought it was cool!
DeleteHow cool! Downloading now!
ReplyDeleteBeing a bit of a tech and social media addict I think I'm going to have to check this out!
ReplyDeleteThat's a few more hours of my life lost in the endless intrigue of technology then...
This looks like a lovely app. I have always adored the cinemagraphs that photographer Jamie Beck produces (you should absolutely visit her tumblr - frommetoyou) and this seems like the perfect way to get that effect for myself!
ReplyDeleteActually I am receiving my very first iphone on thursday, having finally been lured away from my blackberry. I was wondering if you might consider doing a post along the lines of your favourite, or top ten, apps? As a 'newbie' I would find that terribly interesting.
Emily Jayne xx
Hmmm... a whole post might be a little boring for everyone else, so why don't I just tell you my top apps? :)
DeleteWhatsapp
Twitter
Instagram
Facebook
Foodspotting
Hailo (for londoners, really)
Addison Lee (also for londoners)
Emoji Free
Cinemagram
& Solitaire!
That's pretty much it!
Enjoy your new toy! xx
Just downloaded this app! See how it goes! My user name is sonjahnelson
DeleteIf you want to go past the 10 a bit then personally (and I know most won't care but...) I'd include:
DeleteDraw Something
Words with Friends
GroceryIQ (for USA)
Amazon Flow (might only be for USA)
and one of the most addictive games I ever played: DoodleJump
Thank you so much for your reply Rose, it was very helpful! I am getting a little excited for the new toy.
DeleteOh and thank you too anonymous!
Emily
Thank you so much, to both you of you!
Deletethese look amazing! downloading as we speak. valentina is such a hottie! x
ReplyDeletei'm so excited!! m_vain, still figuring it out!
ReplyDeleteI've had this ap for about a month now but always forget to use it. Mine is about 80% my cats, 20% food and tea. My user is Katiecakes, find me :)
ReplyDeleteKatie xoxo
I want an iphone even more badly now :(
ReplyDeleteJust downloading it! :D
ReplyDeleteTry GifBoom, same thing but you can share and follow with your username! (I think)
ReplyDeleteAhhh! Don't sell yourself short, I think yours is one of the better of the bunch! I love Instagram so this will be exciting to try-thanks for sharing :) I'm at ChiGalLauren, if I can figure out how to create some fun ones!
ReplyDeleteI prefer Instagram. The moving images are just too spooky.
ReplyDeletewow thanks for sharing!! wish I could download it =)
ReplyDeleteHi Rose, FYI
ReplyDeletejust to say your blog is amazing, I've been reading it for a while before starting mine (and a twitter account) only last Sunday.
Today, my account with Twitter was suspended (for "unsolicited reply")as I only followed 21 accounts, I found it strange, and checked my tweets. And saw that I made 6 or 7 replies to your tweets.
I do not know what happened. I did not mean to bother anyone. I am discovering this world (highly addictive, I must say). I tweeted to others too. I do not know.
So, just to say, that if that bothered you, I am sorry. I am new to this technology and social tool, I may have shown too much enthusiasm when I saw an answer to my tweet?
And I deleted all the replies to your account. Sorry, not meant against you.Just needed to explain.
I hope everything's okay, and I'd like to add you in my followinglist, if that's okay.
Sincerely,
Florence Valerie
PS : no need to post it, pls
I have the (non) joy of writing stuff for a mobile phone site and discovered this app a couple of weeks ago. It is truly wickay however being the owner of a HTC means I CAN'T GET IT!!! Hannah x
ReplyDeleteAmazing pics! What would I do if I couldn't have you telling me the most important apps to download.

Aww, you look so much like your mum in the wind pic. xoxoxo
