Prepare your starting material
Start with a clear, open-eyed photo. Choose one subtle action; keep a separate copy of the original photograph.
Image to video
Animate a deceased pet photo gently
Create a gentle remembrance clip from a pet photo, with a small blink rather than a dramatic action. You can also choose an original-photo camera move in the local editor if you prefer the face to stay unchanged.
What to check in the result
Watch when you feel ready. Check the eyes, mouth and familiar expression; discard any result that feels uncomfortable.
What this workflow delivers
AI animation invents movement and cannot recover a lost recording. The local camera option moves the photograph without animating the pet.
Editable generation prompt in English
The same pet makes one very slow, gentle blink and reopens its eyes. Preserve its visible age, eye color, face and ear shapes exactly. Keep mouth, body, background and camera still. No talking, smiling, head turn, added symbols or scene change. Five quiet seconds.Finish your image or check your clip

Use clips up to 15 seconds. Export keeps the whole frame, adds text below it, and produces a silent MP4 or WebM. Light adjustments change existing pixels; they cannot recover detail the camera did not capture.

A small blink with the full reference in view
This sample closes and reopens its eyes, then slightly raises its head. The tall ears, green eyes and red harness remain recognizable. The light margins are visible in the result; exact blink counts and identity fidelity can vary.

Prompt and test details
R03 · 2026-10-14 · fal-ai/kling-video/v2.5-turbo/pro/image-to-video
Begin with the same open-eyed Savannah cat in the reference. The cat makes one slow, natural blink, fully reopening both eyes to the same original green eye color, then lifts its head just slightly. Preserve the exact tall ear shapes, muzzle, face proportions, asymmetric visible coat markings and red harness. Keep the body position, blue-sky background and camera almost still. Five calm seconds. No talking, yawning, eye-color change, exaggerated expressions, standing up, walking, new accessories, extra animals, text or scene cuts.
