Playing with Cinemagraph

I recently upgraded my phone to the Nokia Lumia 920, a fantastic piece of technology!

Anyhow, whilst playing with features etc I came across the cinemagraph feature that lets you take gif images directly from the phone... here are a few samples of photos I have taken thus far: (More after the break!)

Eat My Shorts: Saving the Astor (2012)


Saving the Astor (2012)

Directed by: Laura Hilton
Running Time: 12 Minutes 11 Seconds
Country: Australia

The Astor Theatre is an amazing picture house in Melbourne, Australia. They show great films from cult favourites to outright classics and everything in between.  Last year they had a bit of a scare regarding their lease agreement.  During this time my friend Laura was attending film school and decided to make a short film to help with their cause.  The Astor has since been saved and thus the film serves more as a document in history than a current PSA, but it is a great watch nonetheless !
