How to Make a Video Calling Mannequin in Five Easy Steps
If you and your friends want to create your own Mannequin Challenge video and take part in the action – or, well, frozen action – here’s how to do it in five very easy steps.
If you’re unfamiliar with the Mannequin Challenge , this is a viral internet video trend similar to Harlem Shake . But instead of dancing, everyone takes a position while the camera moves and captures the scene like a 3D photograph. The end result looks pretty cool, but the process of creating your own is really very simple:
- Take a camera that can record video. The gimbal will do it better, but it doesn’t have to.
- Gather a large group of friends to participate in your video (offering food or drinks helps).
- Select a topic for the assignment. Everybody in the middle of a fight? Did you all eat something delicious? Maybe it’s a dance party frozen in time.
- Make everyone freeze in a fun pose and hold on as best you can.
- Click on Record on Camera and have fun filming your scene.
Music is another great addition to your video, whether you add it to a post or play it while filming. Now get your friends together and get creative.
