Try Our Effects, Using Tiktok Scanner
Inspiration:: With the theme of presence, our group took a liberating and comical approach to our work and our short film, highlighting the importance of sharing moments with each other. Our inspiration to pursue TikTok's Effects House came from the want to make our projects accessible to all; regardless of equipment, all you need is your phone to be able to express yourself creatively. Our short film arises from an experimental approach to using special effects and role-playing, all with Effects House, without the need for physical props. All in all, our group values the respite in comical relief as a crucial form of self-care and looks towards the growing movement of AR as a creative form of expression and entertainment.
What it does:: Each of our filters is unique and allows the user to have fun interactive moments with friends and on their own. Our filters range using AR body-tracking, hand-tracking, animation, face-tracking, and more. We considered all of our unique filters with global usage to have fun with others and bring them together as virtual props in our short film.
How we built it: We used most of the AR development Technology in Effect House, such as Head Tracking, Hand Tracking, Full Body Tracking, And Custom Hand Gestures. for 3D modeling, we used Blender and Cinema 4D. For 2D, we used ProCreate, Photoshop, Miro, and Final cut for the storytelling video.
Challenges we ran into: For most of us in the group, this weekend was our first exposure to Effects House, and many came from various skilled backgrounds. However, we overcame any technical challenges by looking to our mentors for support and filling any gaps in software familiarity that raised questions for others. Our group overcame different skill levels by creating at minimum one unique filter, demonstrating the quick and readily accessible Effects House and TikTok offer.
Accomplishments that we're proud of: Being able to create a wide array of Effect House filters in a short amount of time; Planning and Creating a short film using all of our effects in a day; Learning how to use new software and build new skills (i.e. AR, rigging, animation, body-tracking, etc.)
What we learned (beyond effect-house): Community-building, content creation and digital presence, creative expression, planning, and creating an interactive AR filter from scratch.
What's next for ARchi Effects House Team Archi believes in changing the idea of people about AR and getting to know about AR around the world to send our message of how powerful AR Creation can be helpful for the community by creating some Interactive, Educational, and Health Effects.
