TikTok Work In Progress
🕑 Added 2022-08-01 05:08:20 +0000 UTCHey all! I know I didn't get anything out last month, and I don't want leave you with nothin' two months in a row, so I'm releasing what I have so far of the TikTok video for your watchin' pleasure. It's... probably a little basic if you're really into TikTok. But really, I made it to help explain to people who don't use it what it is and why it be what it do.
It's still very much a rough cut - it ends abruptly because the outro isn't in this yet, and there's two big segments that are probably gonna add ~10 minutes or so to this thing. There's also a handful of minor things - I need an intro song, I need to add some clips/reshoots for what's there, etc.
But it's proof I'm not dead, and I am indeed still making stuff!
Also, I'd love any feedback. This is decidedly outside of my wheelhouse, and as a result it's both been creatively fulfilling but also really scary in ways just slapping my voice on top of some gameplay footage isn't. Is this working? I'm not sure anymore, I'm too close to it!
Anyways, the full version should be out next weekend if you'd rather see a "real" video than a work print. But progress is being made, I promise!

As someone who doesn't use tiktok this video is extremely enlightening and important

As someone who tends to regard TikTok as worthless I am quite curious to hear something more nuanced about it. Keep it up !

Oh my god Chris, this is so fucking good. Capital "I" important. No one in my circle of friends age 30+ has any real idea what TikTok is or how it works, while my younger friends are all wholly immersed in it. You're presenting vital information for people who need insight into what this extremely popular platform is and how it functions, for better and worse.
probably not entirely relevant for the video but schmoyoho is the people who made the bed intruder song (hide your kids hide your wife) back in 2012. Wild to see them still kind of going viral for music memes

Campster, this is some of the most productive and insightful analysis of the platform I’ve seen anywhere! Coming from a Gen Z person on tiktok, I found this to be an extremely measured look at both the pitfalls and unique strengths of the app! Thank you for your amazing work and I’d be really excited to see you branch out into other mediums with your analysis! Great stuff!
