Star Shake — a slow sway under the chandelier.
Star Shake is a gentle sway-and-pose dance. The sample opens on a woman with long dark hair in a black lace-trimmed cami top, a glittering black and gold mini skirt and sheer black tights. She stands on a polished wooden floor in a grand hall with a crystal chandelier, deep red curtains, gold trim and guests in dark clothes behind her.
The sample
What happens in the Star Shake sample.
She starts with her arms loose and shoulders relaxed. Next she tilts her head and brushes a hand past her hair. Her arms then fold across her waist while she turns slightly to one side. A hand rises to her shoulder, then both hands rest at the centre of her chest. After a few small shifts of the hips she lifts one arm and bends it behind her head for the closing pose, while the people in the background stay mostly still.
Her outfit, hair and the whole ballroom stay unchanged, down to the chandelier and the warm wall lamps. The camera holds one full-length view without moving. Every change is in her arms, hands and head angle, and her steps are small. The sample starts from a full-body shot of one person facing the camera, so a similar standing photo is the closest match.

Your photo
Photos that suit it.
One-tap effects have one input. The photo you pick is your creative control.
Full length, face forward
The sample holds a head-to-feet view the whole time, with her face to the camera. A photo framed that way matches it.
One person in focus
Guests stand in the background, but the dance is done by one woman. A photo with one clear main person follows that.
A dressed-up look
The sample pairs the dance with a party outfit and a grand room. An evening outfit fits the same mood.

Star Shake, answered.
What does the Star Shake effect do?
A woman in a black cami top, sequin mini skirt and sheer tights sways and poses on a ballroom floor under a crystal chandelier, with red curtains and guests behind her.
Is Star Shake a big dance or small moves?
Small moves, going by the sample. The woman stays in one spot and shifts between gentle poses: a hand through her hair, arms folded at the waist, hands at her chest, one arm bent behind her head. Her feet barely move, and the camera stays still. Her outfit and the ballroom setting do not change. It asks for a single photo, not a pair.
