In TikTok the trends, the challenges and filters of all kinds don't stop happening And you better be up to date with everything this if you don't want to be left behind. That's why we bring you Selfie, a most curious and colorful effect created to take comfortable and quick selfies. However, the creativity of some tiktokers turns its operation around and takes it to unsuspected limits. A game to create a trend and have a good time with all kinds of ingenious situations.
This is the Selfie effect. A filter that we have found well used in the profile of the tiktoker Jairo Villamizar (@jairvill7). A creator with many ideas to turn this tool around. And it is that he poses challenges and games to take advantage of this effect capable of capturing up to three selfies with just using gestures.
And the idea of the effect is to be able to take screenshots when making a gesture with your hand In this way you can move away from the mobile and recording all the action on video, but capturing certain situations in photos. You put your fingers in the V for victory and take a photo that stays at the top of the screen. You change poses and use the phone gesture and take a second one. You change again and go on to put the OK gesture and take the third. Something fun and practical if you do it with friends and want to show both the three photos and the entire creation process behind it. In short, a striking content that is relatively viralized.
Well, there's a lot more at stake when using this filter. @jairvill7, for example, creates compositions taking advantage of the fact that the three snapshots overlap at the top of the screen. Something that can create the illusion of creating a continuous situation throughout the three photos As if these three captures were part of the same image.
For example, in one of his TikTok videos, this creator builds the cartoon of shooting himself with a hair dryer, but pretending to be two different people. The person shot in the photo on the left, the wielding hair dryer in the central photo and him, again, pretending to wield the hair dryer, in the right photo. But all this is represented very gracefully in the recording, showing all the technical problems in the production of those three images.A whole visual spectacle that is a pleasure to watch on TikTok.

Another option is to click, on this same Selfie filter screen, on the camera icon at the bottom of the screen.With this you can start directly testing this effect. At the top of the screen you will see the gestures you have to do to capture the three photos. Remember to record the entire process hands-free to move as much as you want when creating your own comic without having to hold your mobile. Of course, to create the best result you will have to keep the mobile always fixed and keep the same frame.
