The coffin dance filter comes to Instagram Stories

The meme of the moment now wants to become the filter of the moment. That dance and the melody that already accompanies it, even if it is a recent creation of the Internet, has become an Instagram Stories mask. And the best thing is that you can star in it yourself. Not for riding in the coffin in question, of course, but for putting a face to the dancers at the Ghanaian funeral service that is becoming famous around the world. Is it the ultimate filter? Maybe not, but it's very close.

We are talking about the dance meme with the coffin carried by four dancers. That video that is used as a closure in accidents, falls and slips that seem to end badly. It is not necessary to see the blow, just by seeing the coffin our brain automatically does the rest of the thinking. Therein lies its charm, even if it is somewhat macabre Something that you can now bring to your Instagram Stories with this filter.

How to get it

Just go through the profile of its creator: @paulostoker. It has some of the most interesting creations, but it will go down in history as Coffin Dance, or coffin dance in Spanish. Enter the profile and click on the smiley icon to jump from your photos to your filters.Here you will see the filter in question. It's the most recent, so you'll see it first.

By clicking on the filter you can see how it looks. In it, the video of the coffin dance is recreated, showing the faces of the members and, later, several shots with impossible dances with a coffin on the shoulder. The key is that you put the face to these characters.

At this point you have two options: the first is to click on the button Try, with which you will activate the camera of your mobile to start using this filter. It's a good way to publish it once and forget about it, since it won't be saved. Of course, if you want it to go to your collection of usual filters you will have to click on the down arrow icon in the upper right corner of the screen. This will save the filter to the Instagram Stories carousel.Thus, whenever you want, you can meet him when you enter Instagram Stories and slide to the left through your collection of filters. The best way to always have it on hand if you are going to use it several times.

How does it work

Thanks to this filter you can forget about complicated video montages and applications to create your own version of the video. All you have to do is frame yourself or another person and press the record button, holding this for one or two stories (up to 30 seconds). And it is that it is the time that the complete animation of this filter lasts to show all its shots and your face in each of the dancers. You can cut at any time if you only want to post one story or if you want to shorten the animation. All you have to do is lift your finger off the screen.

Forget the music. The song Astronomia does not need to be added afterwards, since it is fully integrated into the filter. So you can forget about synchronizing or searching for the melody. All you have to do is record the face of the person you want to star in the Instagram Story and hit record. The rest is automatically filtered.

And that's it, now you can join the trend and enjoy this creation even if it's just to laugh for a while. Even when it's your face that of the black people who dance with the coffin. No matter the excuse, we have come here to laugh.
