Quick answer
Starrd's Clayface template turns one photo into the viral Drake 'Solar Eclipse' clip. You take his place in a dark nightclub VIP booth in front of an icy-blue LED wall, rapping to a handheld camera with every point, hand gesture and head turn from the real clip, then cut to a smoky concert stage with the mic in your hand. You keep the clothes from your own photo. About 21 seconds, 3:4, with the song from the clip, 250 credits.
The viral Drake "Solar Eclipse" clip, with you on the mic. You rap straight to the camera in a nightclub VIP booth, then the clip cuts to you on a smoky concert stage:
Clayface
One photo: you rap the viral 'Solar Eclipse' clip to the camera in a VIP booth, then take the stage. The song from the clip.
Is This a Trend?
Yes. "Solar Eclipse" is the Drake and Don Toliver song that flips Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas", and clips of Drake performing it are all over TikTok this October. This one is pure close-up: a handheld camera inches from his face in a dark VIP booth, an icy-blue LED wall behind him, finger points and hand gestures on every line, then a cut to a concert stage in the smoke.
It's a performance clip, so the face on screen is the whole point. Putting your own face there is the joke.
What You Get
- You, rapping to the camera. Every point, gesture and head turn from the real clip.
- The VIP booth. The icy-blue LED wall, the carved ceiling and the crowd in the shadows behind you.
- The stage cut. You with the mic in the spotlight and the smoke.
- Your own clothes, in every shot.
- The song from the clip.
- About 21 seconds, 3:4.
Change the Outfit
By default you wear the clothes from your photo, so a suit stays a suit and a hoodie stays a hoodie, booth and stage alike. To change that, type a director's note, like "a white fur coat and a gold chain" or "an all-black leather fit".
Use one clear photo, face lit and looking at the camera, waist-up if you can. The camera is close for most of the clip, so your face does the work.
The Fastest Way

Build It Yourself
1. Start from a clean clip. Use the original as the motion reference: one performer, close to the camera, with the cuts left in.
2. Make a still of you in the scene first. Recreate one clear frame of the clip with you in place of the rapper, in your own clothes, so the swap has a picture to match in every shot.
Image 1 is a photo of a person. Image 2 is a frame from a handheld phone video in a dark nightclub VIP booth: a rapper rapping close to the camera in front of a glowing icy-blue LED wall under an ornate carved ceiling, with a few people standing in the shadows behind. Recreate Image 2 with the rapper replaced. Keep the exact camera angle, framing, pose, head position and size, the LED wall, the ceiling, the people behind and the club lighting. The rapper becomes the person from Image 1: their face, skin, makeup, hair and build exactly as in their photo. Their clothes come ONLY from Image 1, and the rapper's own jacket and chain are removed completely. Photoreal phone-video still, face sharp and clearly lit, no text, no logos, no watermark.
3. Use a character-swap tool. A motion-transfer (character swap) tool puts your face and body onto the performer in every shot, using your photo and that still. Starrd's Character Swap does this on your own clip.
Common Mistakes
The original outfit sneaks back. In a close-up, the performer's jacket fills half the frame and image models love to keep it. Say plainly that the clothes come only from your photo, and that the original jacket and chain are gone.
Face-only selfies. The tool has to invent your clothes and body. Use a photo that shows more of you.
Dark or turned faces. The clip is lit by a blue LED wall. Start from a photo where your face is bright and front-on.
