Which photo works best for an Explosion Walk video?
Updated:
Short answer
Use one photo of one adult or pet with a big, sharp face, eyes open, no sunglasses and good light. You start far down the road, so the model needs a clear face to keep it yours when you walk up close. 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.
- Sunglasses, caps 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 road, the night and the blast come from the template.
Will my clothes stay the same?
Yes, by default. You can also pick a black leather jacket like the original or a long black coat.
Does a full-body photo work better?
Not necessarily. A head-and-shoulders shot works best, because the face has to stay yours when you walk up close.
