How does the Smalltown Boy AI credit system work?+−
Credits are spent per 14-second video generation: a render costs 45 credits at 480P, 90 at 720P and 180 at 1080P. You can recharge with one-time packs: Starter ($4.99 for 50 credits), Creator ($12.90 for 140 credits), or Studio ($24.90 for 280 credits). Credits never expire.
What is Smalltown Boy AI?+−
Smalltown Boy AI is a short-video trend template built around the viral 80s dance duo meme. You supply two photos, the tool animates both people through the same fourteen-second synth-pop dance sequence, and you get a video clip sized for Reels, Shorts and TikTok.
Do I need to write a prompt for Smalltown Boy AI?+−
No. The motion is fixed by the template. Your only inputs are two photos, so there is nothing to describe in text.
How many photos does Smalltown Boy AI need?+−
Exactly two: Slot A on the left and Slot B on the right. One photo per subject. If you only have one subject, use a second photo of the same subject or a pet.
How long is a Smalltown Boy AI video?+−
Fourteen seconds. That is long enough for the dance and the dramatic zooms to land, and short enough to survive platform crops and re-posts.
What kind of photo works best for Smalltown Boy AI?+−
A front-facing photo with even light, the head in the upper third and the shoulders visible. Photos taken from more than about thirty degrees off-centre, or with hands over the face, are the most common cause of warping.
Can I use photos of my friends in a Smalltown Boy AI video?+−
Only with their permission. Treat every face as personal data. Many platforms remove synthetic clips of a real person when that person objects, so keep the consent conversation in writing.
Does Smalltown Boy AI include the original song or the broadcast clip?+−
No. This site ships no third-party audio and no broadcast footage. Preview frames on this page are drawn in CSS, and the live product uses audio that you supply or license.
Is this affiliated with Bronski Beat or the original video's creators?+−
No. This is an independent, fan-made tool. There is no affiliation, sponsorship or endorsement from the artists, their labels or the makers of the original music video.
Where are my photos processed?+−
In the shipped console, photo previews stay in your browser: the file never leaves the device and nothing is uploaded. When the render backend is enabled, the photos are sent only for the render and are not kept after the clip is delivered.
Why do the two people sometimes look out of sync?+−
Usually because the two photos have different framing or scale. Re-crop both photos so the heads sit at the same height and the shoulders are equally visible, then render again.
Can I use the clip commercially?+−
The render itself is yours to use, but the underlying trend, any music you add and any recognisable person carry their own rights. For paid campaigns, use licensed music and written permission from every person in the frame.
