What is the flying broom trend and how do you make one?

Add one clear photo of yourself and tell Spark the sky and the route. Rift makes the flight as one shot of up to 15 seconds.

How the format works

• The rider. One person, seated or standing on a broom, hair and cloak in the wind.
• The sky. A town at night, a full moon or a purple dusk.
• The camera. It follows along or circles the rider.
• The finish. The rider crosses the moon or dips below the clouds.

Why it works

It turns a simple photo into a short story with a clear scene. The setting changes the mood, from cosy to spooky, so it suits both families and fans of a darker look.

Make your own in Rift

1. Open Rift and add a clear photo of yourself. Add a wide photo of your town if you want to fly over it.
2. Tell Spark: “Me flying on a broom over the rooftops of my town at night, a full moon behind me, cloak blowing.”
3. Check the Draft and tap Make.
4. Find the video in your Library and post it.

Rift makes one shot of up to 15 seconds. For the full guide, see fly on a broom video from a photo.

Ideas for a new take

• A cat on a mini broom over a garden.
• A child flying past a paper moon, with a parent’s OK.
• A van or a car instead of a broom, over a town.
• A group on one long broom.

Keep it fun

Use your own photo or a friend’s with their say, and keep it clear it is made for fun.
