Are you addicted to TikTok like I am? It’s hard not to be when you’re constantly bombarded with hilarious and creative content from the app’s innovative content creators. But did you know that these creators are actually influencing the next generation of filmmakers?
Take Sally Darr Griffin, for example. She’s a self-proclaimed “big time movie director” who uses basic film principles to create unique and relatable short films on TikTok. And then there’s Zach King, who has built a successful career based on his ability to create mind-bending visual effects.
But what’s really exciting is how these next-gen creators are breaking the rules of traditional narrative editing and learning from the greats, like Mad dog’s pitch-perfect Wes Anderson parody. And with famous directors like Alfonso Cuarón and Martin Scorsese’s kids using TikTok, who knows what kind of new and innovative filmmaking techniques we’ll see in the future?
If you’re ready to join the TikTok filmmaking wave, start by following your favorite creators and experimenting with your own videos. And don’t forget to check out some of the helpful resources available to help you get started.
