What photo works best for the Burning Bridges AI video

The short answer

One clear face, looking at the camera, in good light. That’s it. A plain selfie usually beats a dressed-up photo, because the video dresses you up for the party anyway.

For a photo of a person

• Face the camera, or close to it. Profile shots give the video less to work with.
• Use soft, even light: a window or open shade. Avoid strong shadows across the face.
• Keep the face sharp. A slightly blurry photo makes a blurrier video.
• Head and shoulders are enough. You don’t need a full-body shot.
• Your clothes don’t matter much: the video puts you in a night-out outfit.

For a photo of a pet

• Get your pet looking toward the lens. A treat held just above the camera helps.
• Show the whole head and some of the body, so the coat and markings carry through.
• One animal only. Two pets in one photo confuse the lead.

What to avoid

• Group photos, or anyone else partly in the frame.
• Sunglasses, masks, or hands covering the face.
• Heavy beauty filters, stickers or text over the photo.
• Very dark, grainy or tiny photos.
• Photos of celebrities, public figures or anyone under 18. These aren’t allowed.

If a video still fails, its credits come back automatically, so you can try again with a clearer photo. Ready? Upload your photo.

أسئلة

Can I use a group photo?

Not as is. The video has one lead, so the photo should show one person or one pet. Crop a group photo down to one face, as long as it stays sharp.

Can I use a photo of someone else?

Only of an adult who has agreed to it, and only a photo you have the rights to use. No celebrities, no public figures and no one under 18.
