Which photos work best
- One person per photo. Two separate photos work better than one photo of both of you.
- Face clearly visible, looking roughly at the camera, no sunglasses.
- Even light, not too dark, not heavily filtered.
- Chest-up or waist-up framing; the video shows both people from the chest up.
- Only you or adults who agreed. Celebrity and public-figure photos are not allowed.
Which photo plays which role?
Photo 1 stands on the left, starts with headphones on, takes them off and asks "Sorry?". Photo 2 stands on the right and says "I love the Smiths." twice, then "You've got good taste in music." If you want to be the one who says the line, put your photo in slot 2.
How to post it on TikTok
- Use the vertical 9:16 download so TikTok does not add black bars.
- Add #ilovethesmiths #500daysofsummer #aivideo.
- If you want the trending film sound, pick it in TikTok's sound library when you post; the video itself has new voices and original music.
- Turn on TikTok's AI-generated content label.
