1.5, the version with filters it out. I’ve been obsessing a lot more these past two days to see how filters and higher frame rate impact the kinos. Up until now I’m pretty satisfied with the results, but that’s for you guys to judge.

It’s been a good time to reflect about the screw-ups in the previous versions, and how they could have been avoided. Which require their own post in the near future.

What now? Leaving aside new features, improvements, bug fixes, the question that remains is: are kinos/cinemagraphs a fad or the next new medium? Are they solving a real problem? Or are they an exponential improvement over something that’s currently being done? What’s missing? I feel like one piece of the puzzle eludes me that would be transform it from something cool into something great. If you know what it is drop a comment.

Will write about the new version once it’s uploaded.

There have been a number of coffee kinos uploaded. But this one makes me want to lick my laptop screen. Make by John.
