The human-dwarfing captures were inspired by the anime series ‘Attack on Titan,’ an anime show about human-eating giants. The clever visual trickery of photography is created through simple positioning. For people to create these ‘Pretend Attack on Titan’ captures, one person needs to be placed close to the camera, while the other person is placed further in the background to create these amusing captures. These fun and amusing photo ops should be re-created by every bored individual who has enough friends to do it with. It’s always fun pretending to wield human crushing power over your friends. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Giant Photo Re-creations:** Exploring the trend of creating amusing and visually engaging photo ops through clever positioning. - **Anime-inspired Photo Trickery:** Exploring the trend of using visual trickery in photography inspired by anime series like 'Attack on Titan'. - **Angling in Photos:** Exploring the trend of using angles and positioning in photos to create clever and entertaining visual illusions. ### Where This Applies - **Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop camera technology or apps that can automatically assist in creating unique and visually engaging photo re-creations. - **Social Media:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create platforms or features that enable users to easily share and showcase their own amusing and visually creative photo ops. - **Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore collaborations with popular anime series or media franchises to create interactive experiences that allow fans to participate in the world of their favorite shows through photo-based activities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Anime Robot Replica Statues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/59foottall-gundam.md) - [Anime QSR Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/attack-on-titan-1.md) - [Manga-Inspired Sleeping Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanga-attack-on-titan-sleeping-bag.md) - [Selfie-Centric Action Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfie-series.md) - [Feline Meme Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cat-meme-material-download.md) - [Miniaturized Product Art Photographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/small-muji.md) - [Anime-Inspired Streetwear Lineups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graniph-1.md) - [Hyperrealistic Food Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/looks-delicious.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Classical Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sen-donnan.md)
