Step 1
Set your camera up on a tripod; this cannot be done handheld. Make sure the tripod is not going to be kicked or moved by anyone during the filming.
-
Step 2
Set up your star at a desk so that you can see the surface of the desk in the viewfinder.
-
Step 3
Have the star say something like “Funny things always happen whenever I snap my fingers, but the problem is, I never know what is going to happen!”
-
Step 4
Have the star snap his/her fingers and freeze as soon as they snap. They really need to freeze every part of their body when they snap.
-
Step 5
Keep rolling the camera while someone from off camera enters and changes something. For example, put something silly on the desk like a fish bowl, or put something on the person like a silly hat or sunglasses. It is essential that you do not make the person move while you are doing this.
-
Step 6
Say “Go” and have the star unfreeze. They should look surprised at whatever is now in front of them, and then they should snap to make it disappear.
-
Step 7
Import the footage into your editing program and simply cut out the parts when your star is frozen. It will appear as though the snap is making funny things happen.
-
Step 8
The video should end with the star making himself disappear.
