Christmas Pajama DanceFor a duet, choose a clear photo of each consenting adult. Assign Photo 1 to the left and Photo 2 to the right, viewed from the camera. For Solo, use one photo.
Start in vertical 9:16 for a phone feed. Match the source photos for eye level and light, then leave headroom and enough floor for a turn.
Holiday photo by Any Lane / PexelsChoose a photo for each dancer
Pick one front-facing photo of each adult who has agreed to appear. Look for a sharp face, even light and similar camera angles. Keep the chin and top of the head visible.
Set the left and right positions
Add the left dancer as Photo 1 and the right dancer as Photo 2. Use the viewer’s left and right. Decide who starts slightly farther from the camera before filming or rendering.
Leave room for the side step and turn
Use a vertical frame for a phone feed. Leave room for the widest arm roll and enough floor to see the footwork. Keep the camera still so timing is easy to judge.
Check three moments before sharing
Pause at the opening pose, the turn and the final raised hands. Compare the faces and pajama colors at all three moments. Watch again at normal speed to see whether the two dancers finish together.
