In other articles on this blog I already mentioned different techniques that can be used to convert a still image to something a bit more interesting. Most of these techniques do need short background videoclips, foreground clips or rely on greenkey to make it all work. Photoevents has always and still is in the forefront of volume production with up to 1000 pictures printed on location but these techniques take a bit more time and hence are not recommended for events with more than , say 300 guests. The example above is another take on ‘moving images’ without the use of videoclips, without the use of greenkey or any special setup. From photo to finished endproduct takes less than a minute and the image can be published on facebook within that same timeframe. A scannable code can be used to download the living photograph to a smartphone for immediate sharing on social media.
