Turns out photography apps are just as vulnerable to the Harlem Shake craze as schools, TV hosts, offices, sports teams, etc are...and my Photography Assignment Generator app was leading the way!
I hope you enjoy it! There is also a behind the scenes video below the jump!


ABOUT THE VIDEO
I know the Harlem Shake craze is pretty much over, but the idea came to me so I did it.
I tried to make the app "dances" relate to their function...so the Instagram, Distressed FX, PhotoViva icons were brought into their respective apps and had filters, etc applied to them, I did the ripped page effect on the Photo365 app, turned the Simply B&W app icon to B&W and back, Big Lens app blurred...and some just had fun, like the Flickr dots bouncing around, the iColorama spin, or the Camera+ and Awesome changing places.
The Photo Rights app icon disappearing is a statement of the fact that Photographers Rights are in fact disappearing these days...

HOW THE VIDEO WAS MADE 
Here's a behind the scenes video on how I made this happen:
