What the photos carry into the scene

The references guide the person’s visible appearance, including hair and upper-body clothing. In the opening group shot, you can see the back-left singer’s blue top and glasses, the front singer’s dark curls, cream top and red beads, and the back-right singer’s red bob and lavender shirt.

Those differences make the three people easy to match to their photos. The lead singer and saxophone player use separate portraits for their close-ups.

What to check throughout the clip

Watch beyond the opening frame: check the lead and saxophone shots, then compare the three backing singers when the group returns. Hair shape, jewelry, hands and mouth movement can vary between frames. This example does not establish a success rate for other photos.

The file keeps the source soundtrack. Its stage and performance provide the setting, while the generated appearance and movement are not exact copies of the references or source footage.
