AI Zombie Video Photo Guide: Choose Clear Story Photos

Choose one subject for each role

• Use one person or pet as the clear subject in each image.
• Keep the two roles separate; avoid group photos where it is unclear who the story is about.
• For the survivor role, choose a photo whose expression fits the moment of recognition.

Make the face or pet easy to see

Favor even light and an unobstructed view. Tiny faces, heavy shadows, motion blur, sunglasses, and strong filters can make a portrait harder to interpret. A simple background also helps the subject stand out in the frame.

For a pet, include the markings or silhouette that make that animal recognizable. A clear eye line, collar, or favorite toy can become a useful visual cue in the memory beat.

Think about the memory before choosing a world

The ending feels more personal when it points to a real shared moment. Consider a place, object, or small ritual that belongs to the people in the story, then choose a world that supports that feeling.

• Snowed-In Cabin: intimate, quiet, and sheltered.
• Rain-Soaked City: reflective, dramatic, and familiar.
• Ruined Chapel: solemn, hopeful, and cinematic.

Use photos respectfully

Only use images you own or have permission to use. Ask before making an AI portrayal of another person, and consider whether they would be comfortable with it being shared. Do not use the concept to impersonate or embarrass someone.

What happens to the photos?

Photos stay in your browser while you choose a story. After you sign in, confirm you have permission to use both images, and start generation, they are uploaded to private media storage and processed to create the video.

Generated videos are saved in your account library; their default visibility depends on your account entitlement. Source photos are scheduled to expire 7 days after upload, and you can delete them sooner from My Creations after the generation task finishes.
