How a five-person band works
Every photo you upload becomes one seat at the desk. You decide who sings and who plays: vocals, sax, keys, guitar, drums or bass. The first photo is the lead and gets the most close-ups; the rest fill out the band around the desk. If you only have two or three people, the scene still feels full — the style fills the room with lamps, bookshelves and plants.
Photo tips for groups
- One person per photo. Crop group pictures down to each friend’s face and shoulders.
- Faces forward, eyes visible. Side profiles and sunglasses make it harder to keep everyone recognizable.
- Similar lighting helps. Photos from the same night or the same trip blend more naturally.
- High enough resolution. Anything above 512 pixels on the short side is fine; the editor warns you about tiny images.
Moments that deserve a desk concert
- Birthdays — the birthday person on lead vocals, everyone else backing them up.
- Graduations and farewells — the whole class or team in one last performance.
- Weddings and anniversaries — the couple in front, the wedding party as the band.
- Team off-sites — a fifteen-second highlight that beats any slide deck.
- Long-distance friends — put everyone back at the same desk, even if you live on three continents.
Pick the right style for your crew
Classic Desk is the safe, cozy default. Soul Groove brings big feel-good energy for larger groups. Indie Acoustic suits duos and quieter friends, while Jazz Trio is made for exactly three. Try a Draft render first if you want to test the cast cheaply, then render the keeper in Standard or HD Long.
Consent first
Before you upload, ask. Everyone in your band should be happy to be in the video and should be an adult (or you should be their guardian). Don’t upload public figures or anyone who hasn’t agreed — it’s part of our Terms and simply good manners.
