What this action does

framed as a dramatic cinema one-sheet. You give the app a single photograph and it returns a new still image of you in that style. This one does not move: it is a restyle rather than an animation, and the picture is rebuilt in the style rather than having a filter laid over it. Nothing is photographed and nothing is recovered, so the result is a new picture that resembles the one you supplied.

What photo works best

A single word lands in the lower third, which reserves the space below your chin. Sit yourself in the upper part of the picture with open sky or empty background underneath rather than centred in a full frame. Full length and waist up both work. Light is thrown up from below, so an original that already carries heavy shadow under the eyes comes out harsher than intended. The difficult source has objects around the knees, a table or a railing, since the lettering has to sit through whatever is there.

What to expect

One photograph goes in and a new still picture comes out, restyled rather than filtered: the model rebuilds the frame in the style instead of laying an effect over it. Run it twice if the first attempt gets a detail wrong, because the second version will not be identical.

If the result is not convincing, the fix is almost always the photograph rather than the settings. Reshoot it wider, get more light on the face, and move the arms clear of the body. The rest of what decides the result applies to every action here, and the limits apply to this one too.
