Your graduation photo animated so the graduate laughs and tosses a cap, other caps fly up behind, the gown flutters and the camera tilts up in slow motion, with the face unchanged.
The cap toss is the classic graduation moment, so the prompt animates it with other caps flying behind and a camera tilting up. Slow motion holds the joy. A wide photo with room above the head, as the tip says, gives the caps space.
The face changes as the head tilts back.
Fix: Keep the head movement small and the camera still until the toss. A sharp, front-facing photo holds the face better.
- No room for the caps. Use a wide photo with empty sky above, as the tip says, or ask to “extend the sky above the group” first.
- Strange extra caps or hands appear. Say “only the caps listed, no extra people or hands”, and check the first frame of the toss.
Add “the clip ends with the caps hanging in the air for half a second”. A freeze frame makes a good thumbnail or a picture for a card.
Keep the face and the gown exactly the same. Toss the cap more slowly, with only three caps in the air, and tilt the camera less.
