TikToks
My TikToks are my pride and joy! And I truly mean joy! Over the past four years, I have had an absolute blast using a combination of my filmmaking / editing and social media skills to create a brand and audience. I've included a few of my most viral ones here. I tried to explain them best I could, but sometimes these really were a sign of the times so to speak - they were viral because that's what was going viral at the time! It's okay that it doesn't make sense now - it did back then.
​
All of my videos (the ones below, and those not posted as well) have racked up a combined 7+ million views. I've garnered over 18K followers on the platform, and despite a recent hiatus, I hope to reintroduce myself to the platform and my followers soon, to continue to make music, cool videos, and capture fun.
There was a massive Perks of Being A Wallflower fandom resurgence happening at the time of this video, due to the Tumblr / early 2010's renaissance taking place all over Tik Tok. My friends and I love that movie, and love Pittsburgh (where it was filmed) so I had some fun editing us in alongside the film.
TikTok's For You Page was full of Harry Styles "Get ready with me's" and transition videos during his Fall 2022 15 Night Residency in New York City - the final night was the most exciting due to all the build up, the record breaking show, and the fact that it was on the same notorious date as a classic Earth, Wind, and Fire song. My friends and I got to have fun before the show and show off our outfits with this one.
This one wasn't a trend per se (though I did use a popular trending song underneath it (muted so audio was clear, but used to hit the audience!). It was peak COVID times and my grandma knew I had been threatening to dye my hair Hot Pink. This one went so viral that Daily Mail even published a story about it (not kidding!)
Sometimes I still see this trend re-emerge on the FYP, but this was made in its inception - it made people laugh enough to become one of my first super viral videos! It's silly and basic, but it worked.
This plays into a nostalgia theme that was going viral at the time - shockingly this is yet another TikTok about Harry Styles (you can't blame me - his audience has a massive presence on that app!). My best friend and I slept on the street overnight so we could get a good view at his performance on the Today Show.
Another Harry themed one (sorry - but these are so fun to make! And they always go viral!). Trending sound, and a way to show off our outfits for the show. Style (no pun intended) is a huge part of Harry concert culture!
This is a very satirical re-creation of a viral Frat House Tour at the time. We were in school during the pandemic and were just trying to find ways to safely have fun in our sorority house. Most of this won't make sense. That's ok! At the time, it definitely did.
Self - explanatory, but leaning into the "dedicated fans will really drop everything to make it to a show" troupe!
