Can you tell a story in 6 seconds? A look at the tiny creations of the individual and brand users of Vine so far suggests… maybe.
Ernest Hemingway famously wrote a story that was 6 words long–“For sale: baby shoes, never worn”–and, as legend has it, called it his best work. Now, those prone to Instagramming and Tweeting and GIFing can see how much story they can pack into 6 seconds of video.
Twitter caused a mini sensation last week with the unveiling of its (iOS only, ugh) video-sharing app, Vine. The app allows users to create and share 6-second, looping videos. Users aren’t limited to making straight-up 6-second clips, though; they can also create stop-motion and other effects by capturing and editing a string of shorter snippets.
