Yesterday Kourtney Kardashian posted an photo animation of her standing by the Red Sea in Egypt. The post left a lot of people bewildered as they had no clue how she made the water from a still image move. Well I am here to tell you how she did it.

As you can see, people had no clue how she did this animation. This looping style content has a massive advantage to typical photos when it comes to user engagement. People are more likely to interact with moving content.

First of all you don’t need any special equipment or a graphic designer. Anyone can do this simple animation with their iPhone or iPad. For this looping style of video, Kourtney Kardashian used the Plotagraph+ app for iPhone. Below is a how to video posted by famous HDR Photographer Trey Ratcliff. He is using an iPad but the same features are available on iPhone. You can purchase the Plotagraph+ app for iOS on the App Store.

Once you animate your photos you can upload them to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Google Plus or almost any social media platform. To see some other amazing examples of animation, visit Plotagraphs.com or visit the Plotagraph Instagram page @plotagraphpro or Facebook at Facebook.com/Plotagraph .
