## What it does

A sweep of light turns you into an anime character in a pink patterned kimono with a dark checked coat and a pink hair ribbon. You stand in a misty bamboo forest at dusk and turn toward the camera as petals drift past.

## From our test

We used a woman with long dark hair in a white T-shirt, and she became an anime figure in a pink kimono, with petals falling around her in a bamboo grove. In the last frames she had turned partly away, with her hair flowing behind her.

## Tips for the best photo

- Use a waist-up photo with long or medium hair, which flows well in the scene.
- Face the camera with a relaxed, calm expression.
- Wear a plain light top, so the kimono pattern is easy to see in the results.

## Ideas for using it

- An illustrator showing a character concept to followers.
- A fan making a profile video for a roleplay server.
- A friend making a themed invitation clip for a costume party.
