This video segment is deemed as 'setting the standard for TikTok' by numerous audiences.
TikTok stands as one of the leading social media platforms today, where video trends flourish. The proliferation of TikTok has propelled many products such as films, music... to fame, even 'reviving' after several years of release. Now audiences are reminiscing about the 2020 period, when TikTok was gradually becoming popular amidst global turmoil. Among them, a video is being rediscovered for having 'forever changed TikTok and content creation.'
Returning to April 2020, the account named @stcrvds posted a video on TikTok as a personal gift to their friend named Quinn. Little did they know that this personal gift would turn into a 'sensation,' garnering nearly 50 million views and over 1 million shares.
This video is actually a short clip from the Oscar-winning film Call Me by Your Name. In the scene, the male lead, portrayed by actor Timothee Chalamet, is dancing with friends under the night sky, full of joy. This scene itself is not particularly remarkable, but thanks to the video editing skills of this account, it has become a 'sensation.'
The account owner added slow-motion effects and a bit of sparkling light, highlighting the main character's dance. Each gesture of Chalamet even synchronizes with the background music unexpectedly, leaving viewers intrigued.
After 2 years, this video is resurfacing nostalgically, as TikTok has unbelievably evolved. At the time of its posting, TikTok was still in its infancy with little creativity. However, this video ushered in a new era for the platform, inspiring everyone to participate. It's when many realized the potential beyond TikTok, transforming it into a leading creative content community.
