How to make a Smalltown Boy AI video
Assign two photos, generate your version, and download the finished clip.
Assign your two photos
Upload one photo into First screamer and a different photo into Second screamer. The first subject takes the opening close-up; the second begins behind them and comes forward next. The boxes stay in this order, so check both previews before you generate. You can replace either photo independently without changing the other role.
Generate your version
Sign in and check the credit amount displayed on Generate. The template already sets Seedance, 720p, a 15-second duration and a 9:16 frame. Once both photos are ready, press Generate. The workflow uploads the photos and starts a task. You do not need a separate dance video, an audio file or a written description.
Play and download
Follow the task in My Work, or leave the page and return to this template later. Generation usually takes several minutes. When the task is complete, play the MP4 to review the two roles and then download it. If generation fails, the existing credit workflow returns the charged credits automatically.

The original
The two-person routine behind the cat clip
Your video follows this 15-second edit of the original Reel: her close-up, his close-up, then the duet.

Two people at the same red fence, edited to 15 seconds with the track.
@elvira.mua.musicThe reference
The Smalltown Boy dance: two screamers, one duet
The cat clip at the top of the page and the two-person Reel in The original section show the same routine. Choose who takes each role in your version.
The moves in the reference
The screaming cats dance follows a clear sequence. An orange-and-white cat stands close to a wide-angle camera with its mouth open and its paws pressed to its head. A gray cat stands upright farther back, dancing in front of a red wooden fence with ivy. The close foreground face and the smaller dancer behind it make both reactions visible in the same shot. In your video, the subject from your first photo takes this opening close-up and the subject from your second photo dances behind.
The gray cat then takes the foreground position. It lifts its paws to its head and opens its mouth while the orange-and-white cat dances behind it. The scene finishes with the pair dancing side by side, including a low camera angle and a straight-on view. Your version follows the same order: the second subject comes forward for their close-up while the first dances behind, then both dance side by side, with the first subject on the left. Seedance recreates these role changes from the two-person reference.
The social clips behind this template
An Instagram Reel by elvira.mua.music and mr_unvrs, dated August 4, shows two people performing the routine and credits Bronski Beat’s Smalltown Boy. Bellvtrix posted the cat version on TikTok on October 2, 2026. When checked on October 15, that TikTok post showed 10.5 million plays and 1.2 million likes. The cat clip at the top of the page is an excerpt of that TikTok post, with its creator linked beside the player. Your video is generated from a 15-second edit of the two-person Reel shown in The original section, not from the cat clip.
The two versions share a useful visual idea: the person nearest the camera reacts dramatically while their partner keeps dancing. After the swap, both join in. You can choose a pair with a similar contrast, such as the friend who panics before an exam and the friend who stays relaxed. The joke comes from the change in roles, so each person gets a turn at both reactions.
The song behind the Smalltown Boy dance
Smalltown Boy is the debut single by the British synth-pop band Bronski Beat, released in May 1984 with Jimmy Somerville on vocals. It reached number three in the UK, and its lyrics follow a young man who leaves home after being bullied. Remixes for its 40th anniversary in 2024 brought the track back to TikTok. Other videos set to the song use their own choreography; this template follows the two-person routine of alternating screaming close-ups and a final duet.
A shorter version for your photos
The original two-person Reel runs about 21 seconds. This template generates from a 15-second edit of it that keeps the first close-up, the second close-up and the side-by-side dance. It is a shorter arrangement of the observed routine, with a matching-length audio excerpt included. Both clips on this page are social footage, not customer results.
The AI video generator takes your two images and this prepared motion reference into the existing generation workflow. You choose the cast; the template supplies the setting, camera sequence and movement instructions. There is no timeline to assemble and no prompt to write. The finished clip uses a vertical 9:16 frame, making the close-up and the dancer behind it easy to see on a phone.
Cast ideas
Choose a duo for your Smalltown Boy duet
Two photos set the cast, whether you choose two pets, two people or one of each.
Two pets
Try your cats, two dogs, or a cat and dog together. Put the pet you want in the opening close-up into the first box. The template asks for pets to stand upright and copy the dancers’ moves, just as the two cats do in the clip at the top. Pick two different photos so each role has its own reference.
Friends or siblings
Use one portrait of each person for a shared joke. Decide who gets the first dramatic reaction and who starts as the relaxed dancer. A pair of everyday photos gives the routine a different context from the cat clip without needing to film either person dancing. Both get a close-up before the duet.
You and your pet
Combine a portrait of yourself with a photo of your pet. Either can go first: the upload boxes control the order rather than the species. This is a simple way to put the two of you in the same scene when your original photos were taken in different places or at different times.
Study or work partners
Choose a pair who will recognize the contrast between panic and carrying on as usual. One person gets the foreground reaction while the other dances behind. Add your own context when sharing the downloaded video, such as the end of an exam week or a deadline you completed together.

FAQ
Smalltown Boy FAQ
What is the Smalltown Boy AI trend?
The Smalltown Boy AI trend is a two-subject dance routine with alternating close-up reactions: one subject holds their head and opens their mouth near a wide lens while the other dances behind. They swap and then dance together. The cat version uses an orange-and-white cat and a gray cat in front of a red fence.
How do I choose who screams first?
Put that subject in First screamer. Second screamer takes the next close-up. Before submitting, look at both upload previews and replace them if you want the opposite order. These two boxes map to the two subjects in the reference; there is no random cast selection.
Can I use people instead of cats?
Yes, you can request a version with two people, two pets, or one of each. Upload one subject photo per role. The template asks the model to keep the appearance from each image while following the reference actions, including upright movement for pets. You can review the generated result before downloading.
Do I need to upload a dance video or write a prompt?
No. The prepared reference supplies the dance and camera sequence, and the template supplies the instructions. Your inputs are the two photos. You do not need to film the routine, describe the red fence, choose camera movements or find a separate audio file.
Is this the full original Smalltown Boy cat video?
No. The cat clip and the original two-person Reel each run about 21 seconds; this template generates from a 15-second edit of the two-person Reel, shown on this page, with the alternating close-ups and paired dance. Your output is also 15 seconds, in vertical 9:16 at 720p, with an audio excerpt included.
What images does the maker accept?
Each role accepts JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB per file, with both image dimensions at least 300 pixels. The first and second roles need two different photos. Select the images in their corresponding upload boxes and check the previews before you press Generate.
How much does it cost, and how long does it take?
The Generate button shows the quoted credits before you start. Sign in with enough credits for the task. Processing usually takes several minutes and continues in the background. If the task fails, charged credits return automatically; you can inspect its status in My Work on this page.
Where do I download my finished video?
Return to this template and open the completed result in My Work. Play it to check the scene, then download the MP4. The vertical file can be saved to your phone or computer and used in a post without assembling the two roles in a separate editor.
