Handy Tips: How Strange Behavior Enhances Creativity
Some people are shy about their oddities and quirks, but in reality, these are simply character traits that can boost your creativity skills if you try to be yourself.

The answer will come right here from @karenxcheng’s Instagram account. Karen runs a creative agency called Wuffle, which specializes in viral videos and commercials. Karen worked with both Facebook and Microsoft, and even with the Jenner family and Nicki Minaj. We really liked Karen. She doesn’t make stupid videos to music – she generously shows how to make beautiful video works inexpensively and not difficult.

⁣Lol so I made a zipline for my camera 🧻🙋🏻‍♀️ Ok to repost with credit: behind the scenes with @karenxcheng shot on @insta360 ONE R ⁣ ⁣ ⁣⁣I got this idea when I was trying to come up with shots for my low budget household objects video. My first attempt was attaching an iPhone to my toilet paper roll zipline rig. That didn’t work, it was too wobbly as the camera slid down. So I tried changing cameras (@insta360 ONE R) cause it has good stabilization and that worked! ⁣ ⁣ ⁣Btw I’m giving away this camera on Friday. It’s seriously one of my fav cameras to shoot on bc of how good the stabilization is.

When you wanna get the shot but still save money 🤷🏻‍♀️ Ok to repost with credit: @karenxcheng 🔁 ⁣ ⁣ What a time to be a filmmaker. Shots that used to take tons of expensive equipment and rigging can now be done much more easily, thanks to some developments over the last year - cameras getting much better built-in stabilization and 360 cameras allowing you to reframe shots in post. This is a compilation of the videos I’ve been working on over the last few months ⁣ ⁣ Director: @karenxcheng ⁣ ⁣ 🎬 Low Budget Fight Scene - The camera is strapped to a chest mount. Shot on @Insta360 One X with @getlostwithbrooks @bonam at Clarion Alley Murals ⁣ ⁣ 🎬 Low Budget Dolly Zoom - There’s no gimbal in this shot, so I’m relying on the optical stabilization of the camera itself. The dolly zoom effect was done digitally in post production (zoom in while walking backwards). Google “digital dolly zoom tutorial” to learn how. Shot on @Insta360 Go with @_theboon_ @katmeowz @fannnqie @wafffleco at Venice Beach Canals ⁣ ⁣ 🎬 Low Budget Stairwell Shot - You might’ve noticed the camera is spinning, but the footage is stable. That’s because I’m using a camera that is doing a bunch of gyro and optical stabilization, made possible because it’s a 360 camera. Shot on Insta360 One R with @getlostwithbrooks @bonam at @hotelvertigo ⁣ ⁣ 🎬 Low Budget Interstellar Shot - This shot is inspired by the famous ocean wave scene in Interstellar. The reverse tiny planet effect was actually edited on my iPhone! With the Insta360 One X app (and corresponding One X camera) at Pacifica beach ⁣ ⁣ 🎬 Low Budget Drone Shot - The camera is on a 10-ft stick, and all the tilts and pans you see in camera are actually added in post-production, since the camera is 360 and afterwards you can edit to make it look in any direction. Shot on Insta360 One X + Insta360 extended edition selfie stick, with @theryanmcdowell at Sutro Baths ⁣ ⁣ This is not an ad for Insta360, even though most of my cameras are from there, thanks to the Insta360 team for sending me the gear!! ⁣ ⁣ #insta360 #insta360onex #insta360oner #insta360go #360camera #gopro #gopromax #goprofusion #filmmaking #behindthescenes #director #cinematography
