Photo requirements for Pimp Walk Entrance

• Human: you, head to toe if you can, face to the camera, sharp and in good light. The video shows your whole body in the clothes from your photo, so wear the outfit you want to walk in with. A waist…
• Duo: photo 1 is you, who walks in. Photo 2 is your friend who holds the door. One person per photo.
• No sunglasses, no hat over the face, no beauty filter. You start small outside the door and end in a close-up, so a clear face matters most.
• Pet: one animal, the whole face in view, eyes open, in daylight. It walks in upright in the reel's 1970s velvet suit.
• Use your own photo, a friend who said yes, or your own pet. Never a celebrity or a stranger.

Troubleshooting Pimp Walk Entrance

• --- — ---
• You get big ginger hair or a thin moustache (Human) — The walker in the reel has both, and the prompt bans them unless your photo shows them. Use a sharp, recent photo and run it again.
• Your face looks off in the first seconds — You start small, outside the door, at night. The face is clearest in the close-up at the end; a front-facing, sharp photo helps most.
• Your friend gets your face (Duo) — Use one person per photo, both faces clear, and keep the order: photo 1 walks in, photo 2 holds the door.
