I Believe I Can Fly — arms out, lift off.
I Believe I Can Fly turns a standing photo into a flight. The person spreads their arms, leaves the ground and soars away over a wide landscape. The sample opens on a woman on an escalator holding a cardboard sign that reads "it's okay try again tomorrow". A moment later the sign is gone and her arms are open wide.
The sample
What happens in the I believe I can fly sample.
In the first run, a woman in a beige coat, red top and sunglasses stands on an escalator with a black bag and a hand-written sign. Next she spreads her arms wide on the steps. The scene then changes to her flying face-down over misty rock pillars and green forest, and she shrinks toward a sunset sky. The second run starts with a blonde woman in a long beige dress and white boots on a brick rooftop. She opens her arms, jumps and floats out over the street, ending as a small figure beside a glass tower.
Both women keep their outfits, bags and hair through the flight. What changes is the setting and the camera: the view moves behind the flyer and pulls far back, so the person ends up small against the landscape. Each run opens on a full-body shot with the arms free, which gives the pose room to open. A standing shot with the whole body in frame is the closest match to the sample.

Your photo
Photos that suit it.
One-tap effects have one input. The photo you pick is your creative control.
Show your whole body
Both sample runs start from head-to-toe shots, so the spread arms and the flying pose have space. A full-length photo is a sensible start.
Pick a spot with height
The sample runs begin on an escalator and a rooftop ledge. A photo taken somewhere high or open fits the take-off shown.
One flyer per photo
Each run in the sample sends a single woman into the air, so a photo of just you lines up with it.
