Have you seen one of those creative viral videos online and wondered how they created it?

Let’s take a look at a few creative Instagram accounts below that might that have created them. What I like about these creators/accounts is that they show the final product and behind-the-scenes techniques.

Average users, with some apps, props, and imagination, can reproduce videos like theirs. The creativity and the artistic imagination of these individuals are inspiring.

If you are a Content/Social Marketing Manager, you can try some of these techniques for your next project. Don’t forget to give a shoutout to the creator if you do end up using their technique or idea you saw in their video.

I saved my favorite creator for the end—be sure to read the article all the way through.

@karenxcheng

Last but not least, my favorite video creator on Instagram is Karen X. Cheng. I found her account 1 year ago and ever since then I have been a fan. I am in awe every time she uploads a new video and I think to myself why I didn’t come up with that. She is a master of her craft, imaginative, and clever. If there is one Instagram account you choose to follow from this list, it should be her!
