Which photo works best for a Biker Birthday Cake video?
Updated:
Short answer
Use one photo of one adult or pet with a big, sharp face, eyes open and good light, and no helmet or sunglasses. The whole video builds up to the moment the helmet comes off, so the face has to be clear and recognisable. A head-and-shoulders shot works best.

Works well
- Head and shoulders: the face fills at least a third of the photo.
- Facing the camera: both eyes visible.
- Natural colours: daylight, no filters.
Avoid
- Two or more people or animals in one photo.
- A helmet, a cap pulled low, dark or blurry shots.
- Celebrities, or screenshots of someone else's clip.
Questions people ask
Does the background of my photo matter?
No. The parking lot, the motorcycle and the cake come from the template.
Will my clothes stay the same?
Yes, by default. You can also pick a black leather biker jacket or a white-and-black riding jacket.
Can I use a photo where I wear a helmet?
No. The reveal is the face, so use a photo with no helmet, cap or sunglasses.
