How to put yourself in a waterfall, rainforest or northern lights video

Updated · Reviewed by The Rift team

Short answer

Add a clear photo of yourself to Rift and tell Spark the nature scene, such as standing at the edge of a waterfall in a green valley with mist rising. Check the Draft and tap Make. You get a travel-style video of up to 15 seconds in your Library. Add a friend or a pet if you want company.

A photo of you and a line about the place is enough for Spark to build a nature scene around you, from a waterfall to the northern lights, without the trip.
