Instagram launches Boomerang GiF App
http://festwiz.blogspot.com/2015/10/instagram-launches-boomerang-gif-app.html
Instagram has today launched it's new standalone app called "Boomerang" on Android and IOS . The Boomerang app allows you shoot a one-second burst of five photos that are turned into a silent video that plays forwards and then reverses over and over in a loop. Boomerangs are automatically saved to your camera roll, but can easily be shared on Facebook, Instagram, or elsewhere since the app doesn’t have its own feed. The app doesn’t require and Instagram account and you don’t even have to log in.
The first thing you’ll notice about Boomerang is how few buttons there are. There are literally only two screens. Since you don’t have to log in, you start on the camera.
Tap the shutter button in normal or selfie mode, and Boomerang captures five quick shots over the span of a second. Barnett says the iOS version of the app will actually make things look a little better, as it does image stabilization in a way Android doesn’t allow to keep clips from making you dizzy
Then Boomerang shows you your infinitely looping creation. Instagram speeds up the clip to approximately double-time so the back-and-forth loop goes by in about a second. That slightly fast-fowarded feel makes everything a bit funnier and more stimulating.
