How to bring a toy or plushie to life in a video

Updated · Reviewed by The Rift team

Short answer

Take a clear photo of the toy, add it in Rift, and tell Spark, Rift's video agent, what it does and where: the teddy wakes up and waves on the bed, the plush dinosaur explores the garden. Say whether it should stay a toy or become real. Check the Draft and tap Make for a short video up to 15 seconds.

Photograph the toy, say what it does and where, and Spark makes a short video of up to 15 seconds. The teddy can wake up and wave, or the plush dinosaur can explore the garden.

Questions people ask

Will it stay looking like a toy?

Say "keep it a plush toy" for the stuffed look, or "turn it into a real bear" for a reveal.

Can I use branded toys?

Use your own, unbranded or handmade toys for anything you post. Keep logos and branded characters out.

Can two toys be in one video?

Yes. Add a photo of each and say who does what.

Can the toy go on a trip?

Yes. Name the place, such as the garden or a bookshelf, and say what the toy does there.
