Photo requirements for Hit the Road Dude AI Video

• Human: waist up, face to the camera, sharp and in good light. The video shows you at the wheel from the chest up and takes your clothes from the photo, so a flannel or work shirt fits the scene best.
• No sunglasses, no hat that hides the face and no beauty filter.
• Pet: one animal, head and chest in view, eyes open, in daylight. The fur colors, ears and markings come from your photo; the camo cap, plaid shirt and vest come from the clip.
• Any background works: the truck, the pond and the camera come from the clip.
• Use your own photo, a friend who said yes, or your own pet. Never a celebrity or a stranger.
