This celebrity selfie effect is blowing up everywhere — and here’s the exact workflow to recreate it.

🧠 STEP 1: Create Your Celebrity List

Start simple.
Write down all the celebrities you want to appear with in your video.
This will guide your entire creation process.

🎨 STEP 2: Generate High-Quality Celebrity Images

Go to Higgsfield (recommended because it’s less restricted)

🔧 Image Settings

  • Click CREATE IMAGE

  • Test these image models:

    • GPT 1.5 (new, very realistic, but uses more credits)

    • Nano Banana Pro (great performance, more budget-friendly)

📌 Slightly tweak the prompt depending on your goal and always attach your reference image.

🧩 Base Prompt Template

(If this doesn’t work perfectly for your case, jump to STEP 6)

Create a realistic, high-fidelity (8K) image based on the attached reference photo.
Maintain the exact facial features, skin tone, bone structure, hairstyle, and expression of the attached person, with no alteration or face swapping.

The attached person is taking a selfie with [Celebrity], standing at [Set / Location].
Crew members are adjusting internal lighting and equipment, with cables and gear visible.
Directors and managers are standing behind, discussing the next take.

✅ Example Prompts

Example 1

The attached person is taking a selfie with Elon Musk at a SpaceX launch site.
A rocket is on the launch pad behind them, engineers adjusting equipment, cables visible, light vapor around the rocket, and directors discussing the next launch sequence.

Example 2

The attached person is standing inside a packed professional football stadium under bright floodlights.
Cristiano Ronaldo is beside them, clearly recognizable, wearing a professional football kit.

🔁 STEP 3: Generate Images for All Celebrities

Repeat the image-generation process for every celebrity on your list.
Once done, move to video creation.

🎬 STEP 4: Turn Images Into Video (Higgsfield)

⚙️ Video Settings

  • Image-to-Video Model: Kling 2.5 Turbo

  • Enable First Frame / Last Frame

🧠 How It Works

  • Use any image as the first frame

  • Use another image as the last frame

  • Add the prompt below 👇

🎥 Video Prompt Template

In the first frame, the person takes a picture with [Celebrity 1].
He then runs toward another set, as seen in the final frame.
He meets [Celebrity 2] and takes a picture with them.
A handheld camera follows him throughout the entire sequence.

🔁 For the next clip:

  • Reuse the last frame as the new first frame

  • Repeat for a smooth looping sequence

🎞 Example Video Prompts

  • “In the first frame, the person takes a picture with Conor McGregor.
    He then runs toward another set and meets Batman, taking a picture with him.”

OR

  • “In the first frame, the person takes a picture with Batman.
    He runs toward another location and meets Elon Musk, taking a picture with him.”

✂️ STEP 5: Final Editing

Once all clips are ready:

  • Import them into your editing software

  • Either speed-ramp or keep them natural

  • Export as:

    • One continuous video or

    • Separate clips for reels/shorts

🎯 And that’s how you create the viral celebrity selfie video effect.

🧪 STEP 6: Alternative Prompt (For Even Better Results)

If STEP 2 doesn’t give you epic, realistic results:

✅ Before Anything Else

  • Make sure your reference image is high quality

  • Then paste the prompt below into ChatGPT and add:
    “Now rewrite this but of me standing beside [CELEBRITY NAME] in a [MOVIE / SCENE] set.”
