The first ones shown are quite neat and pleasant. The "accidental" ones pretty quickly gave me motion sickness as I scrolled through them. They also weren't nearly as interesting, though I couldn't look at them for very long.

The intentional ones tend to move along a horizontal plane, and in fairly uniform (or specifically-graded) steps.

The unintentional ones deviate on both bases, creating a more chaotic result.

("Creating chaos" being an interesting notion itself....)

The unfortunate reality of accidents, lack of intention~

I've been taking pictures to be more effective wigglegrams now that I know I can auto-GIF them. I'll do a followup post at some point. The big trick is that they look better when the subject stays in the center of the frame, with the camera "orbiting" it to create a sort of parallax effect.

Yes that helps a lot, perhaps because it is more natural and familiar movement. The unpredictable wiggling might be tricking my brain into thinking I’m bouncing all over.
Yeah, I'm not prone to motion sickness, but that wigglegram with the iPad gave it to me instantly.
