Imagine this: A still image of a hand holding soapy glasses next to water flowing from a faucet. It's not a static image. The faucet and glass are still in motion, but the fingers and the faucet are still moving. But what about the stream of water? It has movement. It pours and pours. A cinemagraph is, by definition, a loop that has both moving parts and parts that don't move at any point.
