I made this video for my lovely wife, Nicole's wildly successful Kickstarter campaign which is currently about half way through its month of fundraising. (I'll take the opportunity to say if you haven't ordered one, please do as they are a work of art and make great gifts) We were elated that the campaign surpassed its goal in the first day! Currently, with about 2 weeks to go it's still going strong at 230% funded. I shot on a canon dslr and a blackmagic pocket for this video and did post in Avid Media Composer. I created one of the key elements in Flixel's cinemagraph pro. The cinemagraph really helped to sell the mock-up by adding some live action elements to the composite shot of a card deck that did not exist yet. You can see it at 2 minutes and 50 seconds into the video. It's been a joy collaborating with her on this, and I even spent an evening making some visually arresting animated gifs to help with the PR campaign on social media outlets. I created the looping animations in Flixel, Fantamorph and Motion Portrait. I truly love learning new things.
