## What it does

A shimmering soap bubble starts forming at the edge of the frame and spreads until it closes all the way around the subject. Rainbow colors swirl across its surface, and inside it the subject opens their arms in surprise as it lifts gently.

## From our test

We used a woman in a yellow sundress standing in a garden, and by the last frames the bubble surrounds her completely while she holds her arms out wide. It took about 2 minutes.

## Tips for the best photo

- Use a full-body photo with some space around the subject so the bubble can close in.
- Bright outdoor light makes the rainbow film on the bubble show up best.
- Pets work too, as long as the whole animal is in the frame.

## Ideas for using it

- A bubble show performer making a playful promo clip of themselves for event bookings.
- A pet owner turning a garden photo of their dog into a fun clip.
- Someone sending a light-hearted birthday greeting to a friend.
