Nothing like taking advantage of the “magic of the movies” in the TikTok application to leave your followers speechless. You may have seen it some time ago, but the trick of camera cuts is still very useful to create creative, different and striking content on this social network. It is the trick that is usually used to show that spectacular way of changing your shirt as if by magic You take a shirt in your hands and, boom, the second you have it put.And the same to remove it. You can see what we are talking about in the first seconds of the video that we leave you below. Well then. It is not magic, it is a technique that you can learn and put into practice yourself.
The trick is to keep the same frame and measure your movements very well. With this in mind the rest is really easy. You can help yourself with a tripod or a support for your mobile, which must remain completely immobile during all the video shots to achieve the best result. Apart from that try to control the space where you are going to record The fewer elements that move, the better. And this also supposes light. Do not change the lighting or tone. So better do it in a room with artificial light. With all this running we move on to the tutorial.
Oh! And of course, prepare the t-shirts or clothes that you are going to use for your video. Remember the hairstyle and the details in case when you change your clothes you mess up or change your posture or appearance.Remember that keeping every detail here makes the effect more realistic.
Step by Step
The first thing is to place the tripod and the mobile to frame the scene. Better if it is a medium or general plane to have amplitude and see the details of the movement. With this, the clothes at hand, the lighting controlled and no changing background elements we can start recording.
You can help yourself with the TikTok timer tool. Click on the clock icon with the number three to display the available options. Here you can specify a countdown of3 or 10 seconds to give you the time you need to prepare before the app starts recording. With this, in addition, the record button will remain active until we want it.We can even choose the duration of the shot, knowing that it can last a certain number of seconds to choreograph our movement.
Take into account that if you want to take off the shirt you are wearing you will have to make some gesture to magically remove it. Without taking off your sleeves. It can be pulling the chest, one shoulder or whatever you prefer. But remember the gesture you have made and the exact position of your whole body. This movement should be done tenths before I finish recording the take Keep this in mind when measuring times and movements. In case you want to put on another shirt, what you can do is hold this other garment and carry it over your body by the shoulders. Again, whatever the gesture, remember the position of your body. Both within the scene and in the gesture.
Now it's time to change the shirt, either to achieve the gesture of putting the other one on or taking one off. Use the timer resource again to be able to return to the original position once you have changed your clothes. Remember the pose to continue movement from there once recording has started. Also make sure that the recording starts at the second that interests you so that the movement is as fluid and continuous as possible. You can use a jump or a somewhat more abrupt gesture to accompany and hide the change of shot. And ready.

And, if you don't like it, you can go back to re-record the last take and get the desired effectDo not forget, once the montage is done, to review the transition effects available on TikTok. With them you can smooth out the imperfections between shots so that the result is as realistic as possible.
