Add one photo of your house and Spark starts on the front door, then pulls back through the street, town and country until the whole Earth shows. You get a zoom-out video of up to 15 seconds.
What you need
- An iPhone with Rift.
- A clear photo of the place, taken straight on in good light.
- The ending you want: the whole Earth, the sky or a starfield.
Step by step
- Add the photo to Rift.
- Describe the pull-back. Say where it starts and where it ends.
- Check the Draft. Spark plans the shots. The price is on the Make button.
- Tap Make. You can leave the app and Spark will tell you when it is ready.
- Adjust. If it climbs too slowly, ask for a quicker pull, then Make again.
Lines to try with Spark
- “Earth zoom out from my front door to the street, the town, the country, then the whole planet.”
- “Start on my balcony, pull back through the city to space.”
- “Start in space and fall in on my street, ending on my house number.”
- “Earth zoom on my school, ending on a small blue Earth.”
Tips
- Choose a photo with a clear centre. A door, a window or a sign gives the zoom something to hold.
- Say the ending. “End on Earth with stars” tells Spark where to land.
- Keep it one move. A single smooth pull-back reads clearer than three effects.
- Use daylight. A bright start makes the transition look cleaner.
