In Conversation with Hari Tahov – Instagram AR filter creator

Published

Meet the Instagram AR filter creator, Hari Tahov changing the way brands, influencers and everyday users interact in the social media app.

At only 22 years young, Hari moved to Los Angeles from Bulgaria to continue his successful career as a fashion model and designer. Not content with modeling and acting, Hari spends his days designing AR filters for Instagram. His sought after filters are already being used by brands and celebrities and he hopes to grow his AR expertise to applications across multiple industries.

From Bulgaria to Hollywood’s red carpets and now in the palm of our hand, AR filter creator Hari Tahov shares his story.

When and how did you become AR Filter creator?

Few months before graduating Los Angeles Film School I noticed around Vidcon 2019 that many influencers had filters and that made me research AR Filters which got me started to create. I studied adobe creative cloud in college for my producer studies which made it really easy for me to get started.

What inspires you to create AR Filters?

I’m a film maker and having to work with an augmented reality where anything is possible is inspirational by itself. When you know you can create anything the only boundaries are the code and your imagination.

What kind of filters have you created and is there something specific that you have created that you haven’t seen from other creators?

I have created every type of filter like color gradings, 3D objects, game filters, branded filters, interactive filters and more. My most famous filter is “NARUTO EYES” which got popular amongst the Comic-Con community and all Naruto fans like me. I am also the first creator online to create an AR Rick and Morty Filter game two weeks before the fourth season aired on Cartoon Network [Adult Swim].

What is your favorite filter from your library?

My favorite filter is “FRIES” and I created it for my weird obsession with fries. I just love french fries. “COLOR AESTHETICS” is my fave that I use every day. It got millions of impressions becouse it has six color gradings everyone loves, but “NARUTO EYES” is popular as well as it was the first filter to allow you to switch between five character’s eye colors in the slider menu.

Have you collaborated or work with any celebrities or brands?

Yes, when I graduated Los Angeles Film School I started collaborating with brands and celebrities on their own branded AR Filter Designs. I’ve worked with brands and celebrities like MENAGERIÉ, Cocabee, Olivia Quido, KUST, Shaka Strong, Urbana Chappa, Daved Munoz, Herbarium, Buddhabeanscoffee, and others. I got a lot of work when quarantine began and it’s been a joy getting to be creative with so many artists.

What do you think is the future of AR Filters?

AR Filters can be much more than masks, colors or 3D shapes. Through filters we can tell a brands story, create an immersive AR game contest, promote a certain product, or bring imagination to life. I believe there will be games and color gradings we have yet to imagine that will blur the lines of Augmented Reality and the real world.

Do you think AR Filters in the fashion Industry will eliminate the need for in person shopping?

AR Filters can help brands tell their story, or incorporate their products into filters. I think people who can not afford or carry the products would love using them as AR 3D Filters. I think this is more environmentally friendly approach to change makeup, accessories, and clothes without harming the environment. I think many brands are realizing this so having filters to test the products or to use them would solidify their decision if they want to buy it forever or just to save it as filter.

Are you working on any filters now that we can be on the lookout for?

Right now I’m developing more color gradings that are beyond this world, but that’s not everything. I’m in the process of creating 3D fashion filters that no one has done before. I hope everyone can use them soon.

What’s next for Hari Tahov?

I’m a filmmaker and a creator so I want to bring out more filters that will allow people to create. There are so much wonderful brands, organizations, and individuals who need filters so I would love to collaborate and help everyone tell their story through AR Filters.

Star of “A Christmas Story,” Peter Billingsley, resolves the controversy surrounding “Die Hard” holiday films

Star of A Christmas Story, Peter Billingsley, resolves the controversy surrounding Die Hard holiday films

Star of “A Christmas Story,” Peter Billingsley, is putting up a strong argument in the age-old argument over whether or not “Die Hard” qualifies as a Christmas film.

His reasoning was so strong that he was able to persuade “Die Hard” cinematographer Jan de Bont, who wasn’t entirely convinced that the action film starring Bruce Willis is a holiday classic despite its mid-summer release date.

“Can we have a healthy debate? Can we make the argument to you of why it’s a Christmas movie?” Billingsley proposed to de Bont on a recent episode of his podcast “A Cinematic Christmas Journey.”

He continues, saying that the movie’s main setting is a Christmas party and that “production design put Santas everywhere.” Of course, there’s the scene where Willis’s character John McClane “decorates the dead body and puts it into an elevator,” which Billingsley refers to as the “iconic ‘ho ho ho’ moment.”

“But I’ll leave you with this,” Billingsley told de Bont. “Most importantly, I think it embodies the themes of Christmas of acceptance, forgiveness, love and family.”

With a nod of approval, de Bont smiles and says, “Okay, I’m sold now.”

In a video that Billingsley and his co-host Steve Byrne shared on Instagram, they can be seen grinning and laughing as de Bont concedes their disagreement.

“Die Hard,” which starred Willis, Bonnie Bedelia, and the late Alan Rickman, debuted in July 1988. It tells the story of a New York City police officer who tries to rescue hostages who are kidnapped by terrorists on Christmas eve at a party.

Willis, on the other hand, views “Die Hard” as a very different kind of film.

“Die Hard is not a Christmas movie!” He proclaimed during his 2018 Comedy Central Roast. “It’s a Bruce Willis movie, so yippee-ki-yay… and good night!”
