THE PHOTO GUIDE
Which Photo Works for a Marigold Bridge AI Memorial Video?
Choose one authorized adult photo with a sharp, unobstructed face, even light and visible clothing. A half-body or full-body portrait supplies more outfit information, while a tiny face can lose useful identity detail. An old photo can be used if the face remains clear. Better source information helps guide generation; it does not guarantee an identical likeness.

One source photo. One generated video.
The portrait is an AI-created fictional adult. The video is our actual generated result, using the same fixed direction and music processing as new paid orders. Watch with sound. This is one example, not a promise of identical results.
Read the source photo alongside the real result
The portrait shown here is an AI-created fictional adult, used to make our published example. Compare her hair, age cues, face and rust-colored cardigan with the video. This is one input and one generated result, not a set of tests proving that every photo will perform the same way.
The person is rendered in a warm 3D animated style. Small facial features, fabric patterns, hands and accessories can change. Our fixed template requests the person’s recognizable features and clothes; it does not paste an unchanged photographic face into existing footage.
Balance face detail against clothing information
A half-body portrait is often a useful compromise when both the face and clothing are easy to see. A full-body photo gives the outfit down to the shoes, but zoom in and check that the face is still readable. More background or more pixels overall cannot recover a face that is tiny or blurred in the original.
- Head-and-shoulders: useful face information; lower clothing must be imagined.
- Half-body: includes face, upper clothing and colors; trousers and shoes may still be imagined.
- Full-body: supplies more outfit detail; check that the face has not become too small.
- Group photo: crop to one adult first. The template is not a group scene.
Prepare an old print without inventing missing detail
Scan the print flat, keep the face straight and avoid reflections. Crop away an album border or frame. If you photograph the print with a phone, use even light rather than a flash reflecting on the eyes.
A black-and-white or faded source may lead the generator to imagine warm colors. A damaged or low-detail face can be harder to recognize. Enlarging a file does not restore the original evidence, and aggressive restoration may change the very features you want to preserve. Compare any restored version with the original before choosing it.
Check the file before opening an order
The generator accepts JPG, PNG and WebP files up to 8 MB. After preparation, the image must have at least 301 pixels per side and a suitable aspect ratio; extremely narrow or wide images are rejected. The browser may reduce very large images during preparation.
These are technical file checks. Passing them does not verify that the subject is an adult, that you have permission, that a face is clear enough for a good result, or that the person will be reproduced exactly. Inspect the photo yourself before paying.
A remembrance needs the right permission
Use one adult human whose photo you own or are explicitly authorized to process for this purpose. For a deceased family member, obtain the appropriate family or estate rights holder’s authorization where applicable. This page does not offer legal advice about who holds those rights.
Do not select photos of minors, pets, celebrities or public figures. Speak with the family before sharing an imagined memorial scene; a comforting tribute for one person may be uncomfortable for another.
Know what stays fixed and what can vary
The paid product stays fixed at 10 seconds, vertical 9:16, 720p with original Petals Remember music, for $9.90 USD plus applicable tax. The requested bridge walk, pause and cupped petals remain the template direction. Facial resemblance, clothing details, poses and timing are generated and can vary.
Choose a different photo before continuing if the source is unsuitable. Do not treat a resemblance concern as an automatic failure refund: the automatic refund rule applies to confirmed generation failure with no completed video; uncertain outcomes are reviewed manually. Read the policies before purchasing.
Common questions
Is a full-body photo mandatory?
No. A clear adult portrait can be used. Half-body or full-body framing gives more clothing information, but the face still needs to be clear.
Will the video be exactly the same as the example except for the face?
No. It uses the same fixed direction and music processing, but generates a new scene. Face, clothing, hands and movement can differ; the example is one interpretation.
