ABSTRACT
The imagination of the online photographic community has recently been sparked by so-called cinema graphs: short, seamlessly looping animated GIF images created from video in which only parts of the image move. These cinema graphs capture the dynamics of one particular region in an image for dramatic effect, and provide the creator with control over what part of a moment to capture. We create a cinema graphs authoring tool combining video motion stabilisation, segmentation, interactive motion selection, motion loop detection and selection, and cinema graph rendering. Our work pushes toward the easy and versatile creation of moments that cannot be represented with still imagery.

Cliplets: juxtaposing still and dynamic imagery
UIST '12: Proceedings of the 25th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technologyWe explore creating ""cliplets"", a form of visual media that juxtaposes still image and video segments, both spatially and temporally, to expressively abstract a moment. Much as in ""cinemagraphs"", the tension between static and dynamic elements in a ...
Automated video looping with progressive dynamism
Given a short video we create a representation that captures a spectrum of looping videos with varying levels of dynamism, ranging from a static image to a highly animated loop. In such a progressively dynamic video, scene liveliness can be adjusted ...
Controlled animation of video sprites
SCA '02: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM SIGGRAPH/Eurographics symposium on Computer animationWe introduce a new optimization algorithm for video sprites to animate realistic-looking characters. Video sprites are animations created by rearranging recorded video frames of a moving object. Our new technique to find good frame arrangements is based ...
