Hello friends, and welcome to another video.
Today, I'm going to be trying out questionable photo and video hacks from Instagram.
Now previously, we've tried recreating some odd, sort of silent movie-esque beauty and fashion hacks
that are all over Instagram,
with pretty mediocre results.
And since then, we've stumbled upon yet another bizarre family of how-to videos:
photo and video hacks,
which are meant to teach you how to take artistic like-bait Instagram photos,
as well as uniquely edited videos that will have you going a-viral.
Now while some of these hacks and videos are kind of cute,
a lot of them seem to fall into the "is-that-even-good?" and the "there's-no-way-that-works" categories.
There's also sort of an intriguing meta-ness to these hacks,
where they're trying to get views on Instagram by teaching people how to get views on Instagram.
So they're able to justify using a click-baity thumbnail, because they're teaching YOU how to click-bait.
Now overall, I would say these videos are still in the early stages of being produced,
as they're not quite yet as spammed to the masses as, say, beauty tutorials or clothing hacks,
but mark my words: the flood is coming.
As the few that we have found on Instagram or re-posted to YouTube
have ridiculously high view counts,
and usually with these Instagram hack videos,
once there is blood in the water, there tend to be many copy-sharks ready to hack at the chum.
So I thought it would be fun to jump on this bandwagon and try some out myself.
But before we dive in,
I also wanted to let you guys know that we just launched our first merch drop / clothing line,
which is called "Fiends by Saf"
or, I guess, "by me"
which includes this shirt I'm wearing right here,
as well as few others we've shown on Instagram,
but we'll show you the whole line at the end of the video.
Also, no, there's no relation to "Best Fiends."
All right. Let's get to hacking.
Now, from watching a few of these videos on Instagram,
but also versions that were re-posted onto YouTube and Facebook,
I would say that there a few different categories that these hacks fall into,
and the first category that we're going to tackle is the forced perspective hack.
Now I would define forced perspective as kind of like optical illusions,
where you can make your subject seem bigger or smaller
or at a different angle in relation to the objects around them
to create a titillating image.
I feel like the classic example of this is the "holding-up -the-Leaning-Tower-of-Pisa" photo
and these hackers LOVE this trick,
whether it be a watermelon dress, falling off the side of the sidewalk
ahem,
blowing dudes off your hand.
popping out of a chapstick holder, or tricking women on Tinder into thinking you have a Lambo,
which is the subject of an extended play-out in this video by Crafty Panda.
But the hack we're gonna be taking on is the classic tiny woman jumping into teacup.
So this video was posted by diy.learning, but it was freebooted from 5-Minute Crafts
and this version has, like, 40 million views,
which is sort of disappointing, because 5-Minute Crafts' original posted video
only has 10 million views.
Freebooting wins again on Instagram.
So basically for this hack, it seems that you need two people,
a mug, a rock, and some water ...
and also a camera.
Tyler: Definitely that.
Saf: So basically, you have one person who's, like, really close to the mug with the camera,
and then you have another person who is the "fall-ee," who jumps and then compresses,
to pretend to have jumped into the cup.
Once that happens, the person who's holding the camera
drops the rock into the cup to create a little splash.
And then, afterwards, you edit out the rock so you just see the jump and the splash.
So for this hack and, I guess, most of these hacks,
we're gonna have to go out into the world.
So I guess we'll go out, try it out,
and see what happens.
Tyler: You gotta compact jump, Saf.
Saf: So we headed out to a park, where we found a picnic bench that I could
stand on top of and then jump off of,
and we tried a few test shots without the rock, just to make sure, like,
Tyler could get the cup lined up properly for that real forced perspective.
Tyler: Oh okay, that looks pretty good.
Saf: And also to perfect my jumping technique, which we quickly found out was bad.
Tyler: You gotta condense faster.
Saf: I can't. I don't know how.
Oh, like this?
Tyler: Yeah, you gotta frog-squat.
Tyler: No, that's really slow.
Saf: Once we introduced the water and the rock, though,
we quickly found out that it's difficult to both hold the camera
and also drop the rock.
[Loud clank as rock hits the rim of the mug, Tyler laughing]
Saf: How was that?
Tyler: I missed!
Saf: So to solve this problem, we had one of our editors, Emily, drop the rock--
I feel like that sounds weird for some reason.
Tyler: It sounds like she's taking a dump.
Saf: So Tyler could just focus on the cinematography.
Tyler: This is like a Michael Bay film.
Tyler: Okay, you're dancing on the side of a pool.
Saf: I'm warm! I wanna take a dip in this teacup.
Tyler: Don't make a tea joke.
Saf: I'm swimming in tea!
Tyler: God damn it.
Saf: And with our new set-up, we got some better results.
Tyler: Oh, sh*t.
