Burning Bridges
Face quality decides most of the Burning Bridges result. The motion template already locks choreography; the model mainly needs a clean identity lock from your still photo.
Framing
- Crop so the head and upper shoulders fill the frame
- Eyes roughly level with the camera; avoid extreme low/high angles
- Leave a little space above the hair — do not cut the forehead
Lighting and clarity
- Soft daylight or even indoor light beats neon and heavy shadows
- Sharp JPEG/PNG; avoid heavy filters, beauty blur, or tiny screenshots
- One face only — group photos confuse who to swap
Clothes and background
- Dark formal wear in the photo often blends with the party template
- Busy backgrounds are fine; the model still focuses on the face
- Hats and thick sunglasses hide landmarks and hurt likeness
Rights and safety
Only use faces you own or have permission to process. Do not upload minors. For marketing samples, prefer public-domain or clearly licensed portraits.
