Smalltown Boy AI at a Glance
Smalltown Boy AI turns two photos — two people, a person and a pet, or two pets — into a 24-second vertical video of the Smalltown Boy dance trend: one of you screams at the camera while the other dances behind, you swap, then dance side by side in front of a red fence. It runs two AI steps — placing you both in the scene, then animating the routine.

The Routine, Shot by Shot
Every video follows the same four beats — Photo A and Photo B each get a turn in the lens.
- 1
0–7 s · The scream
Photo A screams with hands on head while Photo B dances in the background.
- 2
7–14 s · The swap
They trade places: Photo B screams into the lens while Photo A dances behind.
- 3
14–22 s · Side by side
Both dance next to each other in the courtyard by the red fence.
- 4
The lunge
Both reach into the lens to close the clip.
How to Make a Smalltown Boy AI Video
Two AI steps — placing you both in the scene, then animating the routine — run for you.
Add your photos
Two photos — one person or pet each — or a single photo of you both. Clear, full or waist-up shots work best.
We place you in the scene
The first AI step sets both of you side by side in the courtyard in front of the red fence — or keeps your own background in one-photo mode.
We animate the routine
The second step drives the scream, the swap and the dance. Download the silent clip and add the Smalltown Boy sound when you post.
Two Photos or One?
Same routine — pick the photos you have.
Two photos
One photo per person or pet. We place both of you side by side in the trend's courtyard — the classic look.
- Best when you don't have a photo together
- Photo A screams first, Photo B dances first
One photo of both
Already have a photo of you two? Upload it as-is — your own background stays while the routine animates both of you.
- Keeps your real background
- Lower cost — skips the scene step
Who Goes in the Video?
Best friends
The classic pairing — you scream, your friend dances, then you trade places by the fence.
Couples
Date-night energy in 24 seconds. One of you clutches their head, the other does the moves.
You and your pet
Put yourself next to your cat or dog — it stands upright and does the routine alongside you.
Two pets
Two cats, a cat and a dog, any pair — the pet version is where the AI trend started. See the pet page.
Pick Photos That Work
Use
- One subject per photo — a person or a pet
- Full body or waist-up, face clearly visible
- Everyday clothes you want in the video — the outfit carries over
Avoid
- Group shots — the tool can't tell who's who
- Sunglasses, masks or heavy filters over the face
- Tiny crops; for pets, shots that cut off ears or paws

The interface speaks your language, and the output is silent so you can attach the Smalltown Boy sound where you post.

A two-person video set to Bronski Beat's 1984 song "Smalltown Boy": one person screams into a wide-angle lens while the other dances behind, they swap, then both dance in a courtyard by a red fence. Since early October 2026, people have been making it with AI — pets first, now anyone.
Your turn in the courtyard
Two photos. One fence. Twenty-four seconds of the trend.
