Which photo gives the best Banana Tree Run video?
Updated:
Short answer
Send one crisp, well-lit photo of a single adult or pet, face in clear view. Full-length is best, because the runner appears head to toe, side-on. Skip group shots, sunglasses, heavy filters and children's photos. Accepted formats: JPG, PNG or WebP, under 10 MB.

Photos that work
- One subject: an adult, pet, toy or drawing, alone in frame.
- Visible face: looking roughly at the lens, nothing covering it.
- Full length, ideally: the run shows you head to toe, so clothes and shoes come straight from your photo unless you pick an outfit.
- Light: daylight or a bright room, no filters.
Photos to skip
- Babies, kids and anyone under 18.
- Group shots, or a face that is tiny.
- Celebrities, famous characters, stills from other people's clips.
- Sunglasses, masks and heavy beauty filters.
Questions people ask
Do selfies work?
Yes, if the face is sharp. The model makes up the body, so clothes may change more than with a full-length shot.
Do I need sportswear?
No. The runner wears what your photo shows, as in the viral clip with its jeans and jersey.
How big can the photo be?
300 to 6000 pixels along each side, under 10 MB.
