Are you saving the shapes as a sticker? Then add the animated sticker from your collection of stickers? See the paragraph "Turn a Live photo into an animated sticker" on this page of the user guide: Make stickers from your photos on iPhone - Apple Support (BW)


Turn a Live Photo into an animated sticker

You can turn the moving subject of a Live Photo into an animated sticker.

  1. Open the Photos app  on your iPhone.
  2. Tap a Live Photo to open it in full screen.
  3. Touch and hold the subject of the Live Photo, slide it up until you see a duplicate image of the subject, then release it.
  4. Tap Add Effect if you want to apply a visual effect such as Outline, Comic, or Puffy.
  5. Tap Add Sticker.
  6. The animated sticker appears in your stickers menu, which you can access when you use the iPhone onscreen keyboard or Markup tools.
  7. Tap  to close the stickers menu.



If you want to capture the white snake wiggling around the subject, you would to have to take a screen recording: Take a screen recording on iPhone - Apple Support (BW)
