Spitting Spiders — green spiders pour out.
Spitting Spiders opens the subject's mouth and lets a stream of fuzzy lime-green spiders out. They climb up over the face and hair and down the neck and shoulders. The sample opens on a young woman with brown hair in a low bun and red lipstick, lit by warm sun through window blinds.
The sample
What happens in the Spitting Spiders sample.
The sample opens on a young woman with brown hair pulled into a low bun, red lips and bare shoulders, sitting by a sunny window with blinds. She parts her lips, and the first lime-green spider pokes out of her mouth. It climbs onto her chin as a second one appears. More spiders emerge and start crawling onto her cheek, her hair, her neck and her shoulders. By the end, spiders are spread across her forehead, face and collarbones while one still sits in her mouth.
The woman, her hairstyle, the red lipstick and the striped sunlight all stay the same. She keeps a calm, half-closed gaze and moves her head only a little. The frame stays locked in place. The spiders look soft and toy-like, with round fuzzy bodies in one bright green. The sample starts from a close, chest-up shot with the face lit and the mouth clear, so a similar close portrait is a good place to begin.

Your photo
Photos that suit it.
One-tap effects have one input. The photo you pick is your creative control.
Close-up with the mouth clear
The sample is a tight chest-up portrait with the mouth in full view. A close, front-facing photo gives the spiders a clear place to come from.
Good light on the face
Warm window light in the sample keeps the face and the green spiders easy to see. A well-lit photo matches that look.
Show neck and shoulders
The spiders spread down the neck and across the shoulders by the end. Including them in the frame gives the swarm room to move.
