<p>Seems like an effort to recognize the artistic potential in the oldest and simplest form of animation on the web - the animated GIF. <a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/cinemagraph/">Cinemagraphs</a> and the <a href="http://petapixel.com/2012/11/29/stunning-slow-motion-shots-created-using-only-still-photos-of-wildlife/">pseudo-"3D" animation effects</a> used to enliven documentary movies by making old photographs seem less static have been adopted by wedding photographers and web savvy image makers.</p>

<p>Creative novelty animated GIFs have been around for many years - very low resources needed with crude GIFs - but seemed to enjoy a revival the past couple of years, thanks due in part to online mainstream news media and infotainment sites promoting the format. But pop culture-savvy kids have been creating novelty animated GIFs from favorite movies, TV news clips, etc., for years. Anytime there's a 3-second or so video bite on TV worthy of playing repeatedly, you can be sure someone will create an animated GIF of it within an hour or two.</p>

<p>Widespread us of 3D animation effect is more viable now as faster machines and internet access have made it practical to use compact video players inline with other content.</p>

<p>Adobe's creative cloud option may bring more players into this field who'd like to try Adobe After Effects in addition to Photoshop for hybrid still/animated photography.</p>

<p>Another novel use of animated GIF is to compress full length movies to accommodate the dwindling attention span of audiences. </p>

<p>Anyone struggling with sitting through a 2 hour blockbuster can now view it in compressed time, thanks to this Reddit thread:<br>
