RIFTAdd a photo of each relative and tell Spark the shared scene, such as one dinner table. Relatives in other cities can sit in the same room.
What you need
- An iPhone with Rift.
- One clear photo of each person, face to camera, from a similar distance.
- A place everyone loves: a kitchen, a beach, a garden.
Step by step
- Gather the photos. Ask relatives to send a clear one.
- Add each person. In Rift, add them one by one, and save them as characters if you will use them again.
- Describe the scene. Where, what time of day, and what everyone is doing.
- Check the Draft. Spark names who stands where.
- Make. Tap Make and send it from your Library.
Lines to try with Spark
- “Me, Mum and Gran at the old kitchen table, tea and cake, afternoon light.”
- “My partner and me dancing in a kitchen at midnight.”
- “Dad in Lagos and me in Leeds, walking down the same beach at sunset.”
- “The cousins on the porch swing, summer evening, fireflies.”
- “Grandad and the dog on the allotment, everyone waving.”
Tips for a clean result
- Match the lighting. Photos from similar light blend better.
- Face the camera. Straight-on photos work best.
- Fewer people. Two or three read well in 15 seconds.
- A shared place helps. A place everyone knows makes it feel real.
- Ask permission. Add only people who are happy to be in it.
Other occasions
Use it for a wedding invitation, a goodbye gift, a family holiday that was cancelled, a sibling reunion or a joke about the whole family on a rollercoaster.
