Bollywood

What this action does

Traditional Indian dance with expressive movements. You give the app a single photograph and it generates a short clip of that movement, roughly 5 seconds long. Nothing is filmed and nothing is recovered: the motion is produced from the one frame you supply.

What photo works best

Frame head to feet and keep both hands clearly visible away from the body, because the hands carry most of the expression in this style. Bright, even light on the face is worth more than a dramatic setting. Flowing fabric moves well; a plain t shirt gives the model less to animate.

What to expect

One photograph goes in and a short clip comes out. It is generated rather than filmed, so run it twice if the first attempt puts a hand somewhere strange; the second version will not be identical.

If the result is not convincing, the fix is almost always the photograph rather than the settings. Reshoot it wider, get more light on the face, and move the arms clear of the body. The rest of what decides the result applies to every action here, and the limits apply to this one too.
