Trying Clickbait Photo "Hacks" From Instagram - Summary

Summary

The video is a tutorial on various "Instagram photo and video hacks" that are trending on the platform. The host, along with a co-host, embark on a series of experiments to try out these hacks, which range from forced perspective tricks, prop hacks, equipment hacks, transition hacks, and editing hacks.

The forced perspective hack involves making a subject appear larger or smaller, or at a different angle, to create an illusory image. One example they try is the "tiny woman jumping into a teacup" hack.

The prop hack involves using specific props to make photos more interesting. One example they try is the "singing in the rain" hack, which involves using an umbrella and a water bottle to create the illusion of rain.

The equipment hack involves enhancing your current equipment or simulating the effect of having fancier equipment. They try out a hack that involves making a bounce light with a Big Mac box or using a pasta strainer to get a dappled light effect.

The transition hack involves moving the phone to create an effect. They try a hack where you film someone stomping on the ground and then lower your phone like a below a stair, flip your phone around, and raise your phone up, creating the illusion that you're walking forwards while everyone else around you is walking in the opposite direction.

The editing hack involves cutting out some footage or playing something backwards. They try a hack where you walk backwards but play it forwards, making it look like you're walking forwards.

The host and co-host also mention that they have launched a merch line called "fiends", which includes clothing items such as a long-sleeved t-shirt, a bat hoodie, a "hello friend's" t-shirt, a beanie, a dad hat, and some pins and stickers. They note that this is their first drop of merch, and they're still figuring some things out as they go.
