Reporter accidentally turns on Facebook face filters during weather broadcast

News reporter Justin Hinton finished his report on the 'first legitimate snowfall we've seen this season' in North Carolina without a hiccup. That was until he went back to the camera to see the live feed of viewer comments questioning his 'weird face'. It turns out that before going live, Justin had accidentally turned on the automatic Facebook face filters, giving a very different feel to the report. As he informs people of school closures and issues warnings to take care in the adverse weather conditions, he goes through looks including a space helmet, a cat, a wizard, googley eyes, and spooky story telling with a torch under his chin. The full video posted to the WLOS ABC 13 Facebook page shows Justin return back behind the camera to ask the studio, "Wait, Misty, did I have a weird face?" After being told that he had included the special effects in his report, he says, "Now I'm excited to look back at this video and see what's happening to my face." Viewers were big fans of Justin's new look with one writing, "Love it! I think every on scene weather report should use this filter!! They’d reel in the viewers for sure!!"
