What is the donut selfie?
New video technique tipped to overtake the selfie as the latest internet trend
Tired of just taking a bog standard selfie now that the Hollywood glitterati and even David Cameron have caught on?
The
latest thing in recording every cough and spit of your life online has
emerged and it’s called the Donut Selfie. Or should that be doughnut?
Anyway, the selfie has been superseded by one which captures a 360 degree video view of the surroundings of the selfie-taker.
The latest incarnation of the genre, if it is, in fact a genre, was introduced by a woman called Karen X Cheng.
It’s
not the first time Karen had started a trend; as she is the woman
behind Give it 100 – which had people posting videos of them trying
something new for 100 days.
Cheng
told Yahoo News: “We were doing sweeping camera motions around the head
trying to make optical illusions. I did one that was from one side of
my head to the other - made a donut around my head - and the video
started looping and was like woahhhh that looks cool.”
Karen has set up a website to coach novices through the practice of creating their own donut selfies.
