How to make a video for your salon or barber shop from your photos

Updated · Reviewed by The Rift team

Short answer

Add a photo of your shop, your chair or a finished cut in Rift and tell Spark, Rift's video agent, the scene, such as a warm barber shop with a fresh fade and mirror lights glowing. Spark plans the shot and shows a Draft. Tap Make and you get a video of up to 15 seconds to post for your shop.

Add a photo of your shop, your chair or a finished cut, and Spark builds a short clip of a clean chair and a sharp finish to post for your shop. For another local shop, see a thank-you video for your customers, or try a new haircut or colour on a photo.

What you need

Step by step

  1. Add your photos in Spark.
  2. Describe the scene. Light, mood, one thing happening.
  3. Check the Draft. Ask for a different angle.
  4. Make. Tap Make. The price is shown on the Make button before you tap.
  5. Post from your Library.
