this was supposed to be a cinemagraph / animated GIF but for some reason this site is scrambling it so look at it here http://i.imgur.com/Mbg9FYR.gif
I watched several youtube tutorials about how to make a cinemagraph which were all different and in the end I got really confused and my son had to sort it out for me!
You are a charmer. I am absolutely sure that the snake will dance with you, even just with your waving hand. Looking forward to seeing the animated version.
Kali, nice work around! I love the cinema graphs for the added element of a dynamic picture! You can do them manually with Photoshop, but there are some tools to make it easier as well. Check out https://www.flixel.com.
