The lead-singer role
In an Outstanding Tiny Desk AI video, the lead is the performer at the main microphone and in the expressive close-up. Your lead photo guides that character throughout the clip rather than appearing as a flat photo overlay.
Pick one clear identity
A recent front-facing portrait with a visible hairline, eyes and shoulders gives the generator a useful reference. Avoid supplying a collage or a different person for each angle. The same identity should remain recognisable in the full-band shot and the close-up.
Bring friends into the band
A keyboard photo controls the musician at the red keyboard and adds 5 credits. A sax photo controls the soloist and adds no extra credits. Both are optional; the lead photo is required.
