No Celebrity Christmas Face

The Christmas face is the host you locked, and only that host. Do not ask for a famous actor, a singer, a well-known presenter, or someone who looks like them. A lookalike is still someone else's face, even in a plain knit and even when you meant it as a joke. Describe your own host: the eyes, the hair, the clothes you already approved. Approve the still against that reference before it moves. If the face looks real, say the host is AI, and leave the platform label visible. Describe the host you locked, the hair and the plain wool you already approved, and compare eyes, nose, jaw, and hairline before the still moves. Keep one speaker. A practical reel is 15–45 seconds. The first 3 seconds show that ordinary face by the shop window, and they say the shop line. Reject a famous name, a role, a lookalike, or the phrase that asks for the style of a public person. If the face or the voice could be mistaken for a real person, the caption must say it is AI, and the platform label stays visible.

Describe your host, not a public one

Use the reference you locked: the hair, the face you already approved, and the knit. Do not type a famous name, a role, or the phrase 'in the style of' a public person. The model will try to oblige, and the still will not be yours. If a face arrives that you recognize from a screen, reject it. Type your own reference and nobody else's, and reject a face you recognize from a screen. The first 3 seconds show the locked host and say the shop line. Do not post a still that arrived because a public name was in the prompt.

Compare before you fall for the picture

A flattering still that is not your host is a failed still. Put it beside the locked face and check the eyes, the nose, the jaw, and the hairline. Clothes can change. The head cannot drift toward someone famous because the lighting got more dramatic. Approve only the match. Put the flattering still beside the lock before you fall for it, and allow clothes to change while the head stays. In the first 3 seconds the eyes match the October reference and the voice says the line. Reject a drift toward a well-known face when the light got more dramatic.

Label the host you actually use

A worked example

A yarn shop posts the host it locked in October, in a plain wool knit by the shop window. The prompt names that person and the sweater, and it names nobody famous. A still that drifted toward a well-known face is rejected. The approved caption says the host is AI. Post the October host in the plain wool, name that person and the sweater, and reject the still that drifted toward a well-known face. The first 3 seconds show the locked ordinary face and say the shop line. One speaker, 15–45 seconds. If the face looks real, the caption says the host is AI, and the platform label stays in place.

Before you post

• Use only the locked host.
• Reject any famous or lookalike face.
• Label the realistic host as AI.

Where Scro fits

Scro locks one host face and does not need a famous one. Change clothes only, approve the still before motion, and reuse that host in life photos. Export 9:16. If the face looks real, say it is AI, and leave the platform label in place. Approve the still against the locked host, then export 9:16. The first 3 seconds show that face and say the shop line. Reject any famous or lookalike face. If the face or voice could be mistaken for a real person, the caption says it is AI, and the platform label stays put.

Use your locked host. Finished samples are on the examples page.
