What the Day of the Dead Pet video looks like

This is the original. Your photo replaces its lead, so your video follows the same shots with your face. No two runs come out exactly the same.

Creator @maxdolly26 shared a video on TikTok featuring a pup journeying toward the spirit entrance where a bone guard checks an altar photograph and guides it through. Your uploaded picture takes the lead character's place while the setting and storyline remain identical. Watch the original post
