About
Falling Filter refers to a TikTok creative filter called "Loop Me" that repeatedly shows 2D copies of the user falling forward. In March 2022, the filter went viral after a TikToker posted a video of their grandmother physically falling forward after looking at the filter, inspiring TikTokers to attempt to replicate the effects in their own videos by staring at the filter to see if it would cause them to fall over.
Origin
On March 26th, 2022, TikToker[1] @brunebattistini posted a video where she uses the "Loop Me" filter, which shows a looping stream of 2D copies of the user falling forward, on herself and her grandma. In the video, her grandma points at the camera and then actually falls over. The video garnered over 184 million views in a year (shown below).
