## What it does

You stand in an empty stone quarry facing the camera. Far behind you a huge fireball blooms into the sky, the orange glow lights your face, and you give a slow confident nod, completely unhurt.

## From our test

We used a man in a black tee, and a big orange fireball rolls up behind him in the second frame. By the last frame, smoke is billowing high over the quarry while he stands calmly with his arms at his sides. The render took about 3 minutes.

## Tips for the best photo

- Use a waist-up photo with you standing tall and facing the camera.
- Leave some space above your head, since the blast rises behind you and needs sky.
- Wear a solid dark top. It looks great lit up by the orange glow.

## Ideas for using it

- A movie-poster style profile video for a filmmaker or an actor.
- A joke reply for a friend who keeps saying 'this is fine'.
- A teaser for an action-themed podcast, game stream or band announcement.

## FAQ

### Is anyone in danger in this clip?

No. The blast is far behind you in an empty quarry, and you stay calm and unhurt the whole time.

### Can I use a photo of two people?

The effect is built around one person standing in front of the blast. A single-person photo works best.

### Do I need to write a prompt for Action Fireball?

No. Action Fireball is a ready-made effect: upload a photo and press Generate. The directions for the motion, camera and lighting are already built in.

### How long is the Action Fireball video, and how long does it take?

Every effect makes a 5 second HD video that matches the shape of your photo, portrait or landscape. Most are ready in one to three minutes, and you can leave the page while it renders.

### Does the video have sound?

Yes. Each clip comes with matching ambient sound effects. It does not add music, so you can lay your own track over it in any editor.

### Can I use a photo of someone else?

Only photos of adults, of yourself or of people who agreed to it. Every upload goes through the same safety checks as the rest of PixelDojo.
