Rift makes the “after” half of this transition from your photo: the hand moves away and you are in full makeup or a character. You join it to your real before clip in your posting app.
How the format works
- The cover. A hand, a hood or a sleeve passes over the face.
- The cut. The clip changes at that moment, with the same pose and place.
- The reveal. The person lowers the cover to show makeup, a mask or a character.
- The finish. A look to camera, a smile or a slow turn.
Why it works
The cover hides the cut, so the change feels sudden. It is a strong format for Halloween because the after look can be anything from cute to scary.
Make your own in Rift
- Film the before clip yourself, ending on your hand or hood covering your face.
- Open Rift and add a clear photo of yourself in the same place and light.
- Tell Spark: “Me lowering my hand to reveal full skeleton makeup, same room, same light, a slow look at the camera.”
- Check the Draft and tap Make.
- Join your before clip and the reveal in your posting app.
Rift makes the reveal shot of up to 15 seconds. Joining clips, text and sound are done in your posting app. For the full guide, see the Halloween makeup after shot.
Ideas for a new take
- A witch with a pointed hat.
- A cat in a tiny costume, with a paw covering its face.
- A mechanic revealed as a zombie mechanic.
- A friend, with their OK, as a vampire.
Keep it fun
Use your own photo or a friend’s with their say, and keep it clear it is made for fun.
