What Element Runway does
You step onto a dark fashion runway and walk toward the camera, and your outfit changes with each step. It moves from glowing embers to flowing water to frosted ice to swirling wind, and you finish with a pose at the end.
Walk the runway in fire, water, ice and wind
You strut down a fashion runway as your outfit changes through fire, water, ice and wind looks. Full-body 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.
A full transformation in one shot
The change happens on camera in one continuous take, so viewers see the before and the after in the same clip.
