How to animate a photo for a greeting
The best movement is often subtle: it supports atmosphere without forcing the face to perform something absent from the source.

Approve the still frame first
Portrait, background, and copy should work before animation begins.
Safer movement
Parallax, light, weather, fabric, hair, and slow camera movement usually protect likeness.
When facial motion fails
Profile views, closed eyes, blur, and low resolution raise the risk.
Review individual frames
Pause at several points and compare eyes, mouth, face outline, hands, and objects.
Choose the format
A silent loop suits chat; speech and multiple scenes require video work.
