RIFTAdd one photo of your dog and write the rescue, like a red cape and a kitten stuck on a roof. You get an action scene of up to 15 seconds with your dog as the hero.
What you need
- An iPhone with Rift.
- One clear photo of your dog, face to camera, ideally standing or sitting tall.
- A rescue in one sentence: who is saved, from what, where.
- Optional: a photo of the cape or mask colour you want.
Step by step
- Open Rift and tell Spark the rescue. Name the hero, the danger and the place.
- Add your dog’s photo. Pick it from your camera roll, or choose your dog from your saved characters.
- Check the Draft. Spark plans the shots, such as a wide shot of the roof and a close shot of the leap. Ask for changes in a line.
- Tap Make. The price shows on the button first. Leave the app if you like. The video is saved to your Library.
- Make a sequel. Keep the same dog and change the rescue. The face and cape stay put.
Lines to try with Spark
- “My golden retriever in a blue cape, leaping across rooftops to save a kitten.”
- “My beagle as a firefighter hero carrying a toy duck out of a smoky barn.”
- “My husky in a silver mask pulling a sled of puppies across a snowstorm.”
- “My tiny chihuahua in a red cape, stopping a runaway shopping cart.”
- “A made-up hero hamster with goggles, rescuing a sunflower seed from a flood.”
Tips for a rescue that holds together
- One danger. Fire, flood or storm, pick one.
- Start with the pose. A hero stance with the cape in the wind sells the first second.
- Say the light. Dusk, storm light or night with torch beams gives a film feel.
- Keep the cast small. A hero and one rescued friend is easier to follow than a crowd.
- Make the face easy. A dog photo with the whole face and ears visible gives a stronger match.
