Superstar — a hoodie dance by the graffiti wall.
Superstar is an upper-body dance of hand moves and arm swings. The sample opens on a woman with long straight brown hair and a fringe, a beige cap and a black hoodie pulled up over it. Her hoodie has a red and white print on the front. She stands before a wall of bright graffiti, with blue neon light at the side.
The sample
What happens in the Superstar sample.
She starts with her hands low and moving, a slight smile on her face. Then she brings her hands together at her chest, and next she clasps them low at her waist. Her eyes close as she raises both fists to head height. After that she swings one arm up and the other down, reverses the swing, and holds her fists low at her sides. The clip ends with one arm pulled across her body and a wide smile.
Her cap, hood, hoodie print, hair and the khaki trousers just visible at the bottom stay the same, as does the graffiti and neon behind her. The camera keeps one steady view from mid-thigh up. Because the dance lives in the hands, arms and face, a photo from the thighs or waist up with the face clear and forward matches the way the sample starts.

Your photo
Photos that suit it.
One-tap effects have one input. The photo you pick is your creative control.
Half-body framing
The sample never shows her feet. It holds a thigh-up view, so a half-body photo matches its framing.
Face clear and forward
Her smile and closed eyes are part of the moves. A photo where the face is uncovered and turned to the lens fits the sample.
Colour behind you
The sample plays out against a busy, bright graffiti wall. A street backdrop with colour is close to that opening frame.

Superstar, answered.
What does the Superstar effect do?
A woman in a black hoodie, beige cap and long brown hair dances in front of a colourful graffiti wall with blue neon light, clapping, swinging her arms and raising her fists.
Do I need a full-body photo for Superstar?
The sample does not use one. It frames the woman from about mid-thigh up the whole time, and every move is in her hands, arms and face: hands together at the chest, fists raised to head height, arms swinging up and down. A half-body photo with a clear face matches that view. It uses a single photo.
