Boomerang from Instagram blurs the line between photos and video

Bored of static shots yet vehemently against video? Then Boomerang might be for you. The new standalone app from Instagram takes a burst of five photos at the press of a button, then stitches them together into a one-second movie.The video plays forwards and backwards, rather than just stopping at the end or looping like a GIF, so it's a little bit different. Your creation is automatically saved to your camera roll and can also easily be posted on Instagram or shared to Facebook and other places
