Keep your Instagram dog filter. Do what you please using Snapchat for whatever you use it for (seriously who still does?!), because the TikTok Time Warp Scan is by far the greatest filter to ever be introduced to any app. Like, when did people realise you could make a full-on drawing simply from a blue line dragging itself down the screen?! Having been introduced a fair while ago, recently it’s had a revival of sorts as people have been making some seriously cool shapes and figures using it.

There’s been some amazing creativity shown using this filter, so let’s take a look at the most impressive TikTok videos that YOU can recreate using the Time Warp Scan.

Giraffe

I mean really, can it get any better than this? Of all the Time Warp Scan characters you can make, this one is probably the most visually impressive for its LENGTH. How do people come up with this stuff?

Tim Burton character

@phantomsignsthanks for showing me how @spaghettandmeatball ##DialItForward ##timewarpscan ##timburton ##fyp ♬ Ice Dance (From “Edward Scissorhands”) – Ashton Gleckman

Out of all of them, this is likely the one you’ve seen most for how mad viral it went. If you’ve tried it yourself, you’ll know how it’s pretty much impossible to end up with something even close to the above.

Missing hand

An easy one to recreate, simply stick your hand up in the air and then… don’t.

Demon

@blazeit620 ##TimeWarpScan thought this one was pretty clean 😺 ##WIP ##pov ##shopback ♬ Trend by at. reno.lugo – dj.awe02

Now we’re talking – this one is super aesthetic and gives off massive Donnie Darko vibes. However, if you’re after something a little less sinister:

Angel

This one will probably take a few goes but once you nail it the results can be pretty impressive as shown above.

Love heart

Do you want to use the Time Warp Scan and get zero likes whilst doing so? WELL, this one is for you – you’re most certainly welcome!

Drunk face

@schwegitronsomeone help me ##fyp ##razrfit ##DoggyAnthem ##drunkface ##StrapBack ##FallAesthetic ##fypシ ♬ We No Speak Americano – Original Mix – Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP

If this isn’t accurate then I don’t know what is. Simply adopt a sleepy look to your eyes, wait for the scanner to pass your nose then smile frantically – drunk face.

Christmas tree

@grandadfrankkNEVER too early for Christmas! Who’s excited!!! 🎄😀##timewarpscan ##fyp ##foryou ##grandad ##christmastree ##christmascountdown2020 ♬ Rocking Around the Christmas Tree – Brenda Lee

Old people on TikTok is always a weird one because I can only ever imagine their grandchildren behind the camera prodding them into doing stuff, but this one is pretty creative to give him/his grandchildren credit.

Smoking a cigarette

@addisonre ##TimeWarpScan ♬ original sound – U

ADDISON SMOKING A CIGARETTE?! To be fair if anyone screams “got a nicotine addiction from getting a Juul having never smoked a rollie in their life” it’s her.

Mirror trick

@heefbeef5 ##TimeWarpScan This Trend Was Made For Me And Ole Girl 😂 ##mirror ##funny ##disney ♬ Reflection (2020) – From “Mulan” – Christina Aguilera

Love the song, love the outfit change. There’s lots more that could be done with the mirror, but I guess you are limited with how quickly the scanner crosses the screen.
