What Eerie Trance does
The room dims and the lights flicker. You go still, your eyes glow a pale white and your hair floats upward as though you are underwater.
Lights flicker and your eyes begin to glow
The lights flicker, your eyes glow pale white and your hair floats as you slowly tilt your head. Waist-up photos work best.
Still looks like you
The video opens on your exact photo, so the face, hair, outfit and surroundings carry through the whole effect.
