Solo Lobby HookChoose a reference for this scene
This effect centers one performer in a late-night hotel interior. The intended movement is small: a camera arc, a step forward and a closer portrait. The hook comes from eye contact and light on the face rather than a second performer or a large dance routine.
Exactly one intended performer
Choose a photo with one person. Crop unrelated bystanders out before upload so they do not compete with the intended identity.
A readable eye line
A front or slight three-quarter view gives useful information around both eyes. A profile, heavy sunglasses or a face turned away offers less visible detail.
Room above and below the face
Include the head, shoulders and part of the torso. An extremely tight face crop leaves little source information for the small step and changing portrait framing.
An outfit you want referenced
Use a source whose clothing is visible and appropriate for the clip. The scene aims to maintain the reference outfit; it is not a wardrobe-selection tool.
Photos to avoid
- A two-person selfie when only one person should appear.
- A face filtered so heavily that skin and facial contours are flattened.
- An out-of-focus portrait with bright lighting behind the subject.
From source portraits to a reviewed clip
Prepare one permitted portrait
Use one person in one portrait. Obtain permission from every identifiable person to appear in a synthetic video. Choose a JPG, PNG or WebP up to 10 MB for each portrait, and inspect facial detail before upload.
Check the local preview
Choose each required file in its own studio slot. Selection creates local previews; it does not submit the images to storage or the video provider. Replace or remove a portrait if its subject, crop or file is wrong.
Choose length and read the credit cost
This scene defaults to 10 seconds in 9:16, with 10- and 15-second choices. Confirm the displayed live-service status and credit ceiling for your selected length. A local interface walkthrough uses no credits and produces no real video.
Confirm permission, then generate
Use Generate only when the live service is available. The flow connects your account or guest session, uploads the required portraits in slot order and sends the scene request. Complete verification if it is required.
Recover the same task when uncertain
If the response is slow or unclear, use Check progress for the saved task instead of repeatedly starting new requests. Return with the same browser session when possible. An unknown response does not establish that the job failed.
Play the whole result
When the task completes, play the full video and inspect the scene-specific checks below. Save the result while its link is available. A new intentional generation can spend additional credits.
What to check in the completed video
Follow the eyes
Inspect the gaze as the camera angle changes. Unexpected eye drift can undermine the intended direct-camera hook.
Watch facial contours
Check ears, jawline and nose during the arc, particularly if the reference was nearly front-facing.
Compare the outfit
Look for changing collars, accessories or fabric patterns between the wider and closer views.
When the result misses the intention
A bystander appears
Prepare a new source containing only the solo performer. Do not rely on the generator to identify which face in a group was intended.
The camera angle exposes an odd face shape
Try a clear three-quarter portrait for a new render. It provides more visible shape information than an obscured or heavily filtered straight-on face.
The outfit changes during movement
Select a source with a clearly visible collar and torso rather than a tightly cropped face. Output continuity still requires review.
Questions before you start
Is this the one-person version?
Yes. Solo Lobby Hook is the only single-person scene in this collection. Upload one clear portrait of the intended performer.
Does choosing a file upload it immediately?
No. File selection creates a local preview. A live Generate request uploads the source to configured storage and sends its reference to the video service after permission confirmation.
Should I generate again if the request looks stuck?
Check the saved task first. A slow or uncertain response can still belong to an active job. Starting another intentional generation can create another credit charge.
READY FOR YOUR REFERENCE?
Start with a portrait you can use.
Preview each photo locally, then check live availability and the credit cost before generating.
