These storytelling creators have been using their platform to tell their own stories one frame at a time and we've loved watching that this year!
Any form of content creation is about sharing stories that one can watch and get pulled away from reality or feel those emotions that we all need to be reminded of every now and then. Over the last year, we have seen content creation change and evolve, with people trying something new when it comes to making videos. Although it's not capricious to watch them deliver a piece of their lives in their peculiar way, it’s interesting enough to have us talking about it. We would love to recognize them as storytelling creators even though every creator has a story to tell. These creators recognize humans’ innate need to listen to a story that they find interesting and are capitalizing on it creatively.
What makes these storytelling creators different though is how they articulate their thoughts into a Reel that's just one minute or a few seconds long. Who would have thought that watching someone talk about being the last person to take their bag at their airport would be equally interesting as someone sharing the history of that famous eatery we like? In this past year, we have seen content creators become that storytellers with their beguiling editing skills paired with a style that is unique to them!
