What kind of picture suits an Explosion Walk video?
Updated:
Short answer
Choose one crisp, evenly lit portrait of a single adult or pet with the face large and easy to read, and no sunglasses. You start tiny at the far end of the road and finish close to the lens, so the model needs a clear face to keep it yours. Head and shoulders works best.
File limits
- Accepted formats: JPG, PNG, WebP.
- Up to 10 MB per photo.
- Each side between 300 and 6000 pixels.
- Width divided by height must fall between 0.4 and 2.5.
- One photo is enough, since the template has a single role.
What gives the best result
- One adult or one pet in the frame.
- A face turned roughly to the lens, both eyes visible.
- Head-and-shoulders framing, so the face survives the long distance at the start.
- Daylight or a bright room, with no heavy filter.
What to skip
- Babies, kids and anyone below 18.
- Group pictures, or a face that's tiny in the frame.
- Sunglasses, hats pulled low, face masks or heavy beauty filters.
- Frames grabbed from another person's clip.

Questions people ask
Does a selfie work?
Yes, provided it's sharp. The model draws the road and the fire, so a head-and-shoulders shot keeps your face closest to the photo.
Does my photo's background matter?
Hardly. The template supplies the road, the sky and the fireball.
Would a full-body photo be better?
Not really. The face has to stay yours when you walk up close, so a tight portrait gives the model more to hold on to.
