How to Make The Don’t Rush Challenge Video
If you’re on social media as much as I am these days, I think it’s safe to say that you’ve seen at least a million “challenge” videos either on TikTok or Instagram.
The #DONTRUSHChallenge has been trending for the last week, and I’m not ashamed to admit that I participated in four of these challenge videos myself.
Take a look:

How to Make The Don’t Rush Challenge Video
Learning how to make your own don’t rush challenge video isn’t as hard as you may think. The bulk of the work is in the organization and editing, so once you have that down it’s easy as pie. You do need a little editing skill, however, there are apps that make it all fairly simple.
Step One: Choose how many people are going to be in the video and the order in which they will appear, and create a group chat or text so you can all communicate. You also have to plan out which way each participant will pass whatever object you plan to use. so the following person knows which direction to receive/pass it. Sidenote: If someone screws this up don’t worry, you can typically reverse the direction the person passes using your editing software.
Step Two: Think of a theme. I don’t care if the theme has been done already, everyone’s creativity is different so no two videos will be the same.
Step Three: Choose your outfits/looks to match the theme – you’re ugly in one video and cute in the second.
Step Four: Film and film and film and film.
- Film during the day using natural light and film with the light source in front of you. I cannot tell you how many videos I’ve seen with the window or door behind the subject, which creates a dark and grainy video. Poor lighting means compromised and raggedy video quality.
- Film in 1080p. Your phone camera will be more than sufficient.
- Film Vertically
- Use a tripod
- Each clip should be about 10-15 seconds long. The person editing the video will most likely double the speed, but this is a nice filming length no matter the final speed of the video.
Step Five: Send all of the completed videos to the person editing the final project. Do not text or email the clips. Send them via a cloud service like Icloud, WeTransfer, or Google Drive as this preserves the quality of the video.
Step Six: The editor will upload and edit the videos in order. I highly recommend using InShot as your video editor. It’s by-far, one of the easiest phone editing software for novices.
Step Seven: Save the video and share the final version to everyone in the group chat via cloud service as noted above. Again, don’t text the video as the quality will look grainy and low-budget.
