The person being filmed is the only thing that changes.
What changes

What stays
- The busy dresser and mirror behind, the laptop, the handheld camera and the timing of every laugh, line and shove.
Sound
The lines of the original, laid over your clip. The mouth follows the timing, but it is not frame-perfect lip sync.
