New Video Uploaded!
This week, I uploaded my latest video, “I Tricked 15,000 People”, where I take you behind the scenes of one of my latest VFX creations. If you haven’t seen the video, I highly recommend checking it out—it’s a fun deep dive into the process of creating a realistic UFO shot that fooled over 15,000 people on TikTok.
The idea for the UFO shot came to me while scrolling through TikTok. I noticed how easily people are captivated by mysterious or “paranormal” videos. So, I thought, “Why not put my VFX skills to the test and see if I could create something convincing enough to go viral?” It was a challenge I couldn’t resist.
In the video, I break down each step of the process, from the initial concept to the final render. I delve into my method of capturing footage, setting up the scene, and seamlessly compositing the final shot into a believable composition.
Once the shot was ready, I uploaded it to TikTok without any context, letting viewers decide for themselves. The results were beyond my expectations. The comments were filled with theories about alien sightings and speculation about whether it was real. Some people even shared it with their friends, trying to analyze the footage frame by frame. Not one person realized it was all a carefully crafted visual effect—and that’s what made this experiment so exciting.
The key takeaway from this type of content is that it’s all about paying close attention to details and understanding your audience. People are drawn to the extraordinary, so the more effort you invest in making your effects feel realistic and natural, the more likely they are to be convinced.
If you’re interested in visual effects or filmmaking, this project is proof that you can create something impactful with just a great idea and the right tools. It’s also a reminder that storytelling isn’t just about narrative—it’s about crafting experiences that spark curiosity and conversation.
