Does it have sentimental value?
Not yet. I think that will depend on who I share it with in the future—and whether it’ll change their life in some way. That hasn’t happened yet, so I’m not as precious about it.
Do you think your tool could go TikTok viral? Why or why not?
I think it definitely could. It could make a strong addition to the curriculum for TikTok University, a free, certified course from the platform that teaches aspiring creators how to improve their skills. Plus, even creators talking about it could help drum up some visibility; a lot of folks go on TikTok to learn how to do things, so I think EyeCandy would fit right in. Perhaps they could collaborate with some of the cinematographers and editors who use these techniques.
