But, Before You Go Ahead And Annihilate Your Competition… There’s Something You Should Know:

Every cinemagraph you make will live or die by the quality of the video you use.

And shooting video that’s good enough for cinemagraphs is a skill very few people have mastered.

It should be no great surprise that shaky, handheld camera-phone footage screams AMATUER louder than the front row of America’s Got Talent.

So, what to do?

You could buy yourself a tripod, and dust off the old DSLR, but even then you could spend days trying to shoot the perfect footage.

Finding good quality video online is possible. It’s less time consuming. But it’s far more expensive.

Shutter Stock offer a discount if you buy a pack. But that doesn’t make it cheap. A pack of 25 HD videos will still set you back a hefty £1,149 (That’s $1,435!).
