Smalltown Boy AI dance prompt for Veo: one paragraph to paste, no names
Updated:
Short answer
Paste the paragraph below into Veo and attach your photos. One flowing description covers the head-clutching scream, the dancing behind it, the swap and the side-by-side finish, and it names no song or artist, because video tools filter them. Or skip the writing and use Tip Toe AI.

The prompt
A photorealistic 15-second vertical comedy clip filmed on a static wide-angle phone camera at chest height, in a sunny backyard in front of a bright red painted wooden fence with a green lawn and blue sky. The picture is an ordinary full frame, edge to edge, with no fisheye circle and no black border. The two characters in the attached photos are the LEAD and the PARTNER; keep each one's face, fur or hair, colours and clothing exactly as in its photo, never merge them, and if one is an animal let it stand upright on its hind legs with both front paws pressed to its head, yowling like a person screaming in despair. For the first seven seconds the LEAD sits very close to the lens in the foreground, clutching their head with both hands and screaming without a pause, mouth wide open, rocking in despair and reaching both hands toward the lens around the four-second mark, while the PARTNER, small in the background, dances energetically without stopping, full body in view. At seven seconds a hard cut swaps them: now the PARTNER is very close to the lens, clutching their head and screaming, while the LEAD dances small in the background. At fourteen seconds a last hard cut shows both standing side by side in a wide shot, dancing together. Sound: an energetic retro 1980s synth-pop instrumental with a punchy electronic beat and the characters' own long comic screams, no lyrics. No text, no logos, no watermark.
Tips for using it
- Attach both photos and check whether your tool accepts two reference images. If it takes only one, describe the second character in words.
- Keep song and artist names out of the paragraph. Veo may refuse prompts that name them, so describe the sound instead.
- Tools change often. Look up the clip length and aspect ratio your plan supports and trim the paragraph if needed.
Questions people ask
Would the song title make the result more accurate?
Usually not. Tools filter or refuse song and artist names, and describing the sound works better.
Does the clip match the trend exactly?
No. Veo versions differ, and your photos change the faces, the movement and the timing. Use the paragraph as a first draft and adjust it.
Has this page got anything to do with Google?
No. Tip Toe AI is an independent tool with no tie to Google, the original creators or the artists behind the original song.
