Cinemagraphs capture Kubrick's genius

Following on from the recent post on cinemagraphs (a photograph containing a moving element) comes these spooky creations from Gustav Mantel. The inventors of the cinemagraph, Jamie Beck and Kevin Burg, tend to sway towards a photograph orientated end product, but Mantel takes a different approach. He singles out moments from films, and transforms them into a cinemagraph, drawing attention to minute yet significant movements that perhaps go unnoticed in the viewing of a film.

Mantel did a couple of chilling cinemagraphs of director Stanley Kubrick's The Shining and A Clockwork Orange which can be seen below.

Mantel's other work can be checked out on his blog If we don't, remember me.
