Longing for more fun in your life?
Or perhaps you’d like to break up the hum-drum of your everyday tasks.
Well we’ve got the perfect video ideas and pranks!
Wow, this is one awesome party, isn’t it?
But you know what would make things even more fun?
A little photo action!
Hey, you wouldn’t mind taking our picture, would you, Amy?
Alright guys, time to say, “cheese!”
Aw!
Wait a second, does something seem off about this picture?
Where the heck is that extra hand coming from?
Woah!
Looks like Amy spotted it too.
Huh?
Woah! How are you making your hand do that?
Thanks for the photo op, see you guys later!
Let’s play a little game, shall we?
Do you think I can make this pencil land in the mug all the way from here?
Aaaaand, score!
Wow! Think I can do it again but with my back turned?
Two for two! Man, I ought to join the circus or something!
Okay, is there something we’re not seeing?
How are you getting it in every time?
Okay, what gives?
How are you doing this?
It’s all about camera placement, people!
Bet you didn’t know Amy was right there dropping in the pencil every time, did you?
And all this time we thought those were magic pencils or something…
Aw, look at that cute little shopping cart!
Turns out, this little toy can come in really handy to make fun video effects.
Zip ties like these will help hold your smartphone in place so you won’t have to hold it.
Put your phone on the front of the cart, fastening it securely in the zip ties.
Tighten them once the phone is snuggly in place.
Yep, just like that.
Don’t forget to cut the excess plastic.
To make sure the cart stays steady while you use it, place a heavy rock inside it like this one.
When you’re ready, link it to the end of the measuring tape so you can maneuver it from a distance.
Huh?
Um, Amy? What are you doing with that thing?
Just bear with me, all will be revealed in due time.
Put your video phone on record as you push it back with the measuring tape.
Once it’s far enough away, release the stopper on the tape so the car gets pulled back to you as you click on a lighter.
It looks weird now, but in the end, you’ll end up with a great slo-mo shot at an awesome forced perspective.
It also works with fun shots like blowing confetti!
And you never even have to hold the camera!
Aren’t camera tricks awesome?
Ready for a little dose of magic?
Keep your eye on the ball.
What?!
How is it floating in mid-air like that?
Believe it or not, this trick isn’t necessarily about what’s happening behind it….
But rather, from under it!
For this, all you need is a blow dryer and a ping-pong ball.
Oooh, careful with that hand action there, Amy.
Camera hacks are super fun, but you can also mystify viewers with some simple light tricks.
Simply cover black clothing with thick, double-sided sticks of tape like this.
Once all the backing is peeled off the shirt should look like this.
Now stick glow-in-the-dark sticks to the tape in alternating colors.
Make sure to press them down so they’ll stay put.
Okay, now for the fun part!
Go ahead and grab a friend, put on your light creations and get dancing!
Simply turn the lights off and it’ll look like you’re a bunch of lit-up stick figures gettin’ your groove on!
Plan some synchronized movements for some seriously jaw-dropping footage.
Yep, they’re definitely flossing.
But no matter what moves you try, this light trick is sure to grab some major attention.
As long as you don’t turn the lights on in the middle of the shoot.
When you watch a video, it’s the story that makes it compelling.
And who knows, a simple tub of popcorn can really set the scene for a magical moment.
Aww, looks like these hands are in love!
Too bad they both belong to the same person.
Don’t judge, Amy.
How your roommate chooses to spend her time is her own business.
Even if it means making up her own boyfriend for the sake of views.
This popcorn tastes great, by the way.
Ever wish you could capture someone’s shining light and pass it onto a friend?
Well, with this fun camera trick, you totally can.
Want a taste, Sophia?
But why limit yourself to small twinkles when you can power up this giant lamp?
Brings whole new meaning to let there be light, don’t you think?
Okay, let’s go back a few steps and dissect this awesome trick, shall we?
First off, when you “capture” your light, click off flashlight mode on your phone.
Then have someone turn on the lamp with a foot switch as you throw light at it.
Uh, you may wanna wipe that screen ‘cuz things are getting steamy in here!
There’s nothing quite like showing off your new main squeeze on camera for all your friends to see.
Am I interrupting something?
Um, no, I’m just hanging out with, you know, myself.
Well if this isn’t awkward, I don’t know what is!
Well that ought to teach you to knock before you enter a room, huh?
If you’re a clean-freak, then you know it can sometimes take hours to clean the simplest places like the bathroom.
Oh, hey pretty lady.
Well, things are looking pretty sparkling clean in here.
Now you can finally relax and do the business you really came in here to do.
Oop, better give the seat a once-over after what I just did in there.
And there’s nothing like the ‘ol breath trick to make sure your glass doors are clean and spot-free.
Alright, once I’m done with this mirror, I should finally be good to go.
What? It’s super clean, see?
I’ll be the judge of that.
Ugh, I didn’t know I lived with the clean police.
Oh, you’ve seen nothing yet.
If you want to see how clean things really are, a makeshift blacklight will definitely make things a little more clear.
Simply put some clear tape over the lens of your camera phone and color it deep blue.
Simply turn on the flashlight and turn off the room’s lights and let the magic begin.
Woah! Is all that green stuff actually dirt?
I would’ve eaten off that tub it was so clean — or so I thought!
Oh man, I’m never using that sink again. Look at all that stuff!
And now for the grand finale: the toilet!
Oh man, that is so disgusting! There isn’t enough soap in the world to assure me this thing is clean enough to sit on!
Please! Make it stop!
