TikTok\u2019s Animation effect goes viral as users bring loved ones back from the dead TikTok: dani_d96\/sayitsuzieTikTok\u2019s Animation effect has gone viral in the most emotional way. Almost 90,000 users have filmed themselves using the effect on posters, artwork and still photos. Some have even used them to re-animate images of loved ones who have passed away. The tag \u201cPhotoAnimation\u201d has amassed over 11-million views on TikTok. A number of these videos make use of the animation effect, which has gained traction this week (July 5). TikTokers are using the effect to remember relatives who have passed away. From girlfriends to grandmas; these videos are guaranteed to get you in your feelings. The effect works by detecting a face; whether that\u2019s a still photo, drawing or reflection. It then triggers a series of facial expressions and head movements. Several TikToks have shown still images moving their head from side to side, eyes looking around and lips smiling. User @charaf_elldine provides the original sound; an echoing, slow-paced song adding to the atmosphere of the effect. \u201cMy dad never saw my 2 birthday,\u201d one TikTok user said. \u201cThis filter made me smile.\u201d The effect is then applied to an old photo of her dad, who smiles and winks at her. \u201cI have no video of my wife,\u201d said 87-year old TikToker \u201cGrandad\u201d Joe while using the effect on a black-and-white photo. \u201cThis nearly broke me.\u201d A similar effect went viral back in March 2021. The \u2018deep nostalgia\u2019 effect from external site MyHeritage also re-animated still photos, and were used to bring new life to lost loved ones. How do I use the Animation effect? The effect can be found on its own TikTok page, and automatically comes with the sound. User @charaf_elldine\u2019s sounds can be found on their profile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
