Case Study: Animated Photos: The Budget-Friendly Alternative for Your Business
To continue our discussion on the benefits of cinemagraphs, let’s talk about animated photos and how they’re the budget-friendly alternative to full video production. These types of photos are becoming increasingly popular and it’s not too surprising why.
First and foremost, let’s learn what exactly an animated photo is.
This is simply when a regular photos looks like it’s coming to life. The vast majority of the photo is still, but there is one element that moves. Perhaps a car passes by or someone is pouring a drink – the possibilities are endless. Cinemagraphs and GIFs (Let’s end the debate once and for all – how do you pronounce it?!) are examples of this unique types of photos. How many GIFs do you see on social media channels and even emails from friends and family? They’re everywhere!
Okay great… now that we know what animated photos are, it’s time to talk about the best benefit of all: the cost savings! These types of photos are less expensive as a fully produced video and therefore require less time to work on. The less time spent working on something means the less billable hours possible! Your business saves money because of the short and sweet process.
Another great benefit of animated photos is that they’re GREAT for social media!
