Step by step

How to make it

Each tab shows its own Seedance 2.5 480P price. Duo and Two pets are the 15-second price. Solo is the 8-second price.

  1. Choose Duo, Solo or Two pets

    Duo and Two pets need two photos and stay wide 4:3 for 15 seconds. Solo needs one photo and stays vertical for about 8 seconds.

  2. Upload the photos in order

    Photo 1 faces the camera. Photo 2 is the profile. Solo is a single clear face.

  3. Generate and download

    The picture is made silent. The song from that clip is added after. Your download has no watermark.

Best photos

Duo: two adults, faces clear, one photo each. Do not put both people in one photo and hope the split is right.

Two pets: one animal per photo, markings easy to see. A cat and a dog can share the wall. Solo: one adult, face uncovered. The costume comes from the clip, so you do not need real paint.

Where the trend started

The painted wall comes from the 2011 music video for “Somebody That I Used To Know,” Gotye with Kimbra: two singers whose bodies are painted into a wall of flat shapes. The song is still the one people attach to costume reels and duets.

The AI version restages that wall with other faces and with pets. This page follows those clips, not the official video’s sets. Duo and Two pets are the wide duet. Solo is the vertical costume performance.

  1. The song and the body-paint wall are released. The look is flat color, two singers, one facing out and one in profile.

  2. AI clips put other faces, and then pets, in front of the same kind of geometric wall. That is the 15-second 4:3 tab.

  3. A vertical reel sings the loud lines alone in a patchwork suit. That is Solo, about 8 seconds, 9:16.

Variants

Pick Duo when you have a friend who said yes: two photos, 15 seconds, wide 4:3, shoulders in front of the painted wall.

Pick Two pets for two animals on that same wall. Pick Solo when it is only you: one photo, the patchwork costume, about 8 seconds, vertical 9:16.

Best photos

Order matters. The first photo is the one facing the camera. The second is the profile. Swapping them swaps who sings which way.

Faces stay unpainted unless the photo already has paint. You do not need body paint, a costume, or a makeup session. Solo borrows the suit from the clip and keeps your face.

Sound

The download keeps the song from the clip it follows, “Somebody That I Used To Know,” put back after the picture is made. Duo and Two pets share one soundtrack. Solo uses the soundtrack of the costume clip.

The song belongs to its owners. This page does not grant you rights in it. Say the clip is AI when you post. Your download has no watermark.

What goes wrong

If the two singers trade faces, the photos were easy to confuse or the order was flipped. Use one person per photo and keep photo 1 as the front view.

Paint on a cheek means the clip’s makeup leaked onto a weak photo. Send a clear, unpainted face. A pet that grows hands needs a full-body photo where the paws are obvious.
