We asked members of Kinney Beauty's Itty Bitty Beauty Committee: What is the most beautiful thing about your mother? We loved their answers almost as much as we loved producing this Mother’s Day spot for Kinney Drugs. Yay for moms!

We've been having a lot of fun creating cinemagraphs for Bluerock Energy's social media! Also referred to as a "living photograph", a cinemagraph is a combination of photo and video. One element of the photo is animated to create a loop of subtle motion within an otherwise still image. It's an eye catching trend that innovative brands like Bluerock, A&E, Heineken, Chanel, Ikea and Mercedes-Benz are making use of in their social media feeds. Check out some cool recent examples here: https://boldcontentvideo.com/2016/07/22/7-hypnotic-ways-brands-are-using-cinemagraphs/
