Does anyone else think of Harry Potter when looking at the last section, Live Image/Live Photo?

They should take that single feature and package it into a Harry Potter-themed app, along with some sepia filters and parchment textures.

It would be a blast!

In fact, I might start using it like that, as soon as the Android version comes out.

It reminded me of the Google Motion Stills app.

I had it for a few weeks but uninstalled it as I didn't use it much.

The latest version of Google Photos (2.0) builds in the Motion Stills functionality:

I had the exact same thought... but then I was surprised at how "creepy" it seemed to me instead of "neat".

That said, I think I would actually like that sort of thing more than completely static images once I get used to it.
