> It looks a bit creepy.

It's not just a bit creepy, it's firmly planted in the depths of the uncanny valley. The other (still photo) examples make me think they are pulling tricks with exposure and light balance, but the live photo feature is cheesy and gimmicky (and yes, highly unsettling in the example they give).

I'm going to try it out on my iPhone 6, but I expect I'll stick with the iPhone camera app for serious photos unless Pix blows me away.



They just need to get rid of the creepiness by mirroring the loop, so its not a sudden reset


That's not what I found creepy. It's the perfectly still faces with the hair blowing and whipping around.
