How do I make the Smalltown Boy AI video with my best friend?
Each of you sends one photo, you upload both in People mode, and the generator puts you side by side in the same 80s studio doing the scream, the head-clutch and the dance. You don't need to be in the same city or the same photo.
Matching the two photos
- Similar framing — both head-and-shoulders, or both waist-up
- Similar lighting — two daylight selfies beat one studio shot and one bar photo
- Same orientation — both looking roughly at the lens
- Avoid one person smiling wide and the other neutral; the scream is easier from a neutral face
Couples, siblings, co-workers
The format is any duo. Office versions (two colleagues reacting to a Monday email) and sibling versions ("when mum says we're visiting grandma") are the common captions. The caption carries the joke; the video is the reaction.
Posting as a duet
Download the MP4, post it from one account, tag the other. Add the original Smalltown Boy sound on TikTok so it lands in the trend's sound page.
