TikTok Masterclass with Watson D Hirschfield!

Join TikTok sensation @thatswatson as he delves into the collection using the skills that has seen him amass over 3 million followers on TikTok.

Get your feet moving with our very first object based TikTok workshop with @thatswaston, hosted at The Prince Philip Maritime Collections Centre. See what it takes to research and create famous old school music videos, using day to day items you can find at home.

Taking inspiration from the 2.5 million-plus objects in Royal Museums Greenwich's collection, the session will teach you how to plan and research videos, dance to the beat, edit, use hashtags and TikTok features and produce viral content. 

This event is part of our youth programme, giving young people skills such as video production, editing, research and social skills.

This event is suitable for ages 12-16. 

Please note: A £1 booking fee is applicable per booking. We have implemented the booking fee to ensure that people only book free tickets if they are able to attend sessions.

What is TikTok?

TikTok has took the world by storm. It is an app that allows users to create, watch, and share 15 second to 3 minutes videos shot on their phones or iPads. The app is filled with people singing, dancing, lip synching and showcasing their talents. The app can be used by amateur and professional creators alike. They can add effects, filters, music and sounds to their videos and collaborate with other users to create content.
