The Deadpan take template recreates this exact shot — a front-camera talking-head selfie on the bed in a hoodie, looking straight into the lens with a completely serious, deadpan expression, ring light in the eyes, plain wall behind, space at the top for a caption — with you in it instead. Everything else stays as it is, then it moves like the example: stares into the camera with a straight face, slowly raises one eyebrow and gives a tiny nod, then holds the serious look. Locked phone camera.

Can I change something in the Deadpan take look?
Yes. Type the change in the prompt box and it is made on top of the example. Ask for "office background and a mug" for a work-humour version. Leave it empty to get the example exactly.
Will it still look like me?
Yes — the face, skin tone and hair colour come from your photo, and everything else from the example. A clear, front-facing photo works best.
