Template vs prompt
| Two-photo template (this site) | Writing your own prompt | |
|---|---|---|
| What you type | Nothing — upload two photos | A scene description, often several tries |
| Who dances | Photo 1, with your face; Photo 2 reacts | Whoever the model invents, or one start-frame photo |
| Shush, reaction, tiptoe beats | Always, in the meme's order | Not guaranteed |
| Song | Meme soundtrack included | Add it yourself |
| Length and frame | 12 s, 16:9 | Depends on the model (often 5–10 s) |
The six shots, written out
If you want to describe the meme to any AI model or editor, these are the shots in order:
- Wide, over the onlooker's shoulder: a small man with pale wispy curls and a black velvet tailcoat tiptoes into a barn piled with hay; the woman sitting in the straw is seen from behind.
- Close-up, the shush: he raises one finger to his lips and grins into the lens.
- Close-up, the onlooker: she covers her mouth, wide-eyed, eyes wet.
- Close-up, the grin: he smirks, pleased with himself.
- Wide, the dance: arms spread wide, he bounces side to side on tiptoe across the hay.
- Low close-ups, the shoes: black leather shoes with long, pointed, upward-curling toes stepping on the straw.
Copy-ready prompt for general image-to-video tools
Use this with any text- or image-to-video model. Results vary by model; expect the mood, not the exact meme timing.
Warm, grainy 1980s fairy-tale film look. A wooden barn piled high with golden hay, candle-lit.
A small man with pale wispy curls, a black velvet tailcoat and bow tie, and black shoes with
long pointed toes that curl upward, tiptoes in through the hay. He raises one finger to his
lips to shush the camera and grins mischievously. A young woman sitting in the straw covers
her mouth and stares in shock. He spreads his arms wide and bounces side to side on tiptoe.
Cut to low close-ups of the curled shoes stepping on straw. Playful, sneaky, theatrical.
16:9, cinematic, natural motion, coherent hands.
To put a real person in it, give their photo as the reference or start frame and add: "The dancer has the face, hair and skin tone of the person in the photo."
Negative list

- no modern room, no phone, no daylight studio look

Questions and answers
Do I need a prompt on this site?
No. There is no prompt box. The meme reference sets the moves, shots and timing; you only add two photos (or one photo twice).
Can I change the dance or the outfits?
The routine and the barn are fixed — that is what makes it the meme. Hair, faces and clothes come from your photos, and the dancer always gets the pointy curled shoes.
Why does my prompted version not match the meme?
Text prompts describe the scene but not the exact timing, cuts and camera. Without a reference video, models invent their own choreography. A reference-based template keeps the shot order.
Can I prompt the song in?
Most video models generate their own sound or none, and cannot reproduce a specific song. Add "Tip Toe Wing In My Jawwdinz" in your editing app or from the platform’s music library. Videos made here already include the meme soundtrack.
Does a prompt work with one photo?
With image-to-video tools you can give one photo as the start frame, but you will usually only get the dancer. For both roles with real faces, use two photos here.
