Can I ride something else, like a dragon?

Yes, if you can describe it, you can try it. Keep it your own idea rather than another company's character.

Can I choose where the ride happens?

Yes. Name the place, such as a park or a beach at sunset, in your line to Spark.

Can I put my dog on the skateboard instead?

Yes. Use a clear photo of your dog, side-on if you have one, and say the trick.

Can my friends ride along?

Yes. Add each friend as a character once, then say who sits where.

What if the ride looks off?

Change one detail in your line to Spark, such as the animal, the place or the time of day, and check a new Draft.

How to make a video of yourself riding a dolphin or a giant cat

Add a photo of yourself and name an impossible ride, such as a dolphin or a giant cat. Your hair still moves, the water still splashes, and Spark plans the shots.

What you need

An iPhone with Rift.
A clear photo of you. A full-body photo helps for a ride, because Spark needs to see how you would sit.
The ride and the place in one line.

Step by step

Open Rift and start with Spark. Say the ride in one line.
Add your photo. Choose it from your camera roll, or pick yourself if you have added yourself before.
Check the Draft. Spark plans the shots and shows a Draft. The price sits on the Make button.
Make. Tap Make, then leave the app if you like. Spark tells you when it is ready.
Tweak the ride. If the pose or speed is off, tell Spark and Make again. A stopped Make is not charged.

Lines to try with Spark

“Me riding a dolphin as it leaps out of the sea at sunset.”
“Me riding a giant tabby cat down my street, waving to neighbours.”
“My bulldog on a skateboard, landing a kickflip in a skate park.”
“My grandmother riding a friendly elephant through a market, laughing.”
“Me and Sam on one giant swan, floating across a lake.”
“My delivery van, but it’s a galloping horse” (add a photo of the van).

Tips for rides that read well

Say the scale. “Giant cat” and “normal cat” are different shots. Name the size.
Say the motion. “Leaping”, “trotting”, “gliding” each give Spark a pace to match.
Give the camera a job. “Following from the side” or “low angle from the front” helps.
Keep one star. One rider and one ride beats a crowd. Add friends once the first works.
Pick the mood. Cinematic sunset or goofy daylight? Say it.

Making it feel real

The funniest ride videos treat the impossible as ordinary. Nobody in the shot looks surprised. Ask for that: “neighbours barely look up” or “a delivery rider nods as I pass”. Normal reactions around a giant cat make the cat funnier.

Pick a place you know. A giant cat on your own street, a dolphin in the bay near your house, a skateboarding dog in the car park behind the shop. Familiar places make the idea land with the people who follow you, and they give Spark a clear place to put the ride.

If the first version gets the ride right but the pose wrong, say only the pose: “sitting sideways, one hand up”. Spark changes that and keeps the rest.

Beyond the ride

The same steps suit any impossible pairing: a grandparent on a rocket, your toddler in a teacup boat, a shop mascot paddling a giant donut.
