How to Make an I Love The Smiths AI Video

Add two photos, pick a length and get the elevator scene as a vertical MP4. Steps, photo tips and posting advice.

Last updated: 2026-11-10

Upload one clear photo for the listener in headphones and an optional second photo for the speaker. Choose 6, 10 or 15 seconds, then download a 720p, 9:16 vertical MP4 with AI-generated English dialogue and no watermark. There’s no prompt to write, the 15-second option shows the full scene, and if you leave Photo 2 empty the same person plays both roles.

Upload Two Photos, Choose a Length, and Download Your Video

  1. Add your photos. Open the generator and sign in with Google. Photo 1 is the listener with the headphones, who stands on the left and stays in the elevator. Photo 2 is the one who speaks, who stands on the right and walks out. JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC, up to 10 MB each. On a computer, you can scan a QR code and send the photo from your phone.
  2. Pick a length. 6 seconds costs 6 credits, 10 seconds costs 13 credits and 15 seconds costs 20 credits. 15 seconds is the longest and shows the whole scene.
  3. Download or share. You get a 720p vertical 9:16 MP4 with no watermark. Download it or share it to TikTok. It stays saved in your account.

Photo Tips for a Better Likeness

  • Keep the face clear. Good light on a clear face gives the model the most to work with.
  • Waist up works best. It suits how the two of you are framed in the elevator.
  • One person or pet per photo. Group shots make it unclear who should play the part.
  • Wear what you want to be seen in. Clothes carry over from the photo.
  • Skip the headphones. The video adds them, so you don’t need them in the photo.

Other Ways to Make It

  • Film it yourself. Find an elevator and a friend, then lip-sync the moment. It’s free, but you need the location and the timing.
  • A general AI video tool. You write the scene yourself and adjust it over several tries, and you’ll need to work out how to get two specific people in the same shot.
  • This generator. The scene and both roles are already set up, at the credit prices above. It’s AI-made from a written description, so the backdrop can vary a little from run to run.

Posting Your Video

  • The video is already 9:16, so it fits TikTok and Reels without cropping.
  • The downloaded video includes AI-generated English voices, a quiet elevator hum and faint music leaking from the headphones. It does not include the original film audio or The Smiths’ recording. If you want “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out” by The Smiths, add it from the TikTok or Reels sound library.
  • Use the tags people already search, such as #ilovethesmiths and #500daysofsummer.
  • Say that it’s AI-generated.

How-To Questions

Can I use a photo of my dog? Yes. Pets are fine, one per photo, in either part.

Can I make it with one photo? Yes. Leave photo 2 empty and photo 1 plays both parts, like twins.

Can I use a celebrity? No. The model refuses celebrities and public figures, and those credits come back automatically. Everyone pictured must be you or someone who agreed, and 18 or older.

Is it free? There’s no free trial and no credits for signing up, but you can earn credits by inviting friends: +1 credit per friend who signs up with your link (up to 50), and +10 when an invited friend first buys. Packs are one-time and start at $9.90 for 20 credits, and credits never expire.

What if it fails or looks wrong? A failed render is retried once for free, and if it fails again the credits come back automatically. If a finished video has a problem, email support@ilovethesmiths-ai.org and we refund the credits that video used, in money; if only part of a pack was used, the credits not used yet are refunded in money too. Refunds go to your original payment method.
