## A quiet hug with your dad

- **Any photo of him**: A photo from last year or from his youth, in color or black and white. Use the one where his face is clearest.
- **A place that was his**: His workshop, the garage, a lake he fished at: name it, and the hug happens there.
- **Calm, steady and slow**: You walk toward each other and share a long hug in soft, warm light, with a steady camera.

## How to make the video

1. **Choose the photos**: A clear photo of you and one of your dad, or one photo of you together.
2. **Name a place**: One line about somewhere you spent time with him.
3. **Download and keep**: Save the MP4 and share it when you feel ready.

## Choosing a photo of your dad

A photo where his face is sharp and turned toward the camera works better than a distant group shot. If the only photo is small or faded, scan it at a high resolution and crop it so he fills the frame.

Your own photo can be recent. Similar light in both photos helps the scene look like one moment.


## Choosing the photos

The model can only keep what it can see. A clear face in each photo matters more than the age or quality of the photo.

- A face that is sharp, well lit and turned toward the camera
- At least head and shoulders; waist-up photos give the arms room
- For a printed photo, scan it or photograph it flat in daylight, without glare
- Crop a group photo so your loved one fills most of the frame
- No sunglasses, heavy filters or stickers over faces
- In one photo of you together, a little space between you

## A gentle note before you begin

A memorial hug video is an AI recreation made from your photos. It is not a recording, and it cannot show a moment that really happened. Small details, such as hands or the way someone moves, may look different from how you remember them.

Watching it may feel emotional. Take your time, watch it first in a quiet moment, and share it only with people who would want to see it. You can ask us to delete your photos and videos, or your whole account, at any time by writing to support@vife.ai.

## Questions about a video with your dad

### Can I use an old photo of my dad?

Yes. Old prints and black-and-white photos work; the instruction asks the model to keep an old photo's look. Use the clearest copy you have.

### Can the video show us doing something together?

The video is built around one long, gentle hug. You can choose the place, such as his workshop or a lake, but a short video works best with one quiet moment.

### Can I make it longer than 5 seconds?

Yes. Choose 5, 8 or 10 seconds; each extra second costs 30 credits. A longer video gives the hug more time.
