Which photos work best
Full body works best
You sit on the reindeer: a clear full-body photo, face visible, works best; a warm coat looks right in the snow.
A clear face
A sharp, front-facing photo: the camera gets close.
Your outfit stays
You appear in what you wear in the photo, so pick one you like.
What is riding a reindeer AI?
It is a ride a reindeer Christmas video: one short, bright scene where you lead the way through a snowy village and Santa is the one following you, a fun card to send or post in December.
Our template keeps the street, the snow, the lights, the trees, the reindeer, Santa and his sleigh, and the camera. From one photo the rider is you, with your own face, hair and clothes; the reindeer, the snow and Santa come with the template.
