How to make an I Love The Smiths AI video
Make the I Love The Smiths elevator meme with one or two photos. Choose the 14-second dialogue or 23-second doorway ending, then review your quote.
The I Love The Smiths template puts your chosen people into the elevator conversation from (500) Days of Summer. Use one photo to replace either person, or one photo for each role to replace both. The generator offers a short dialogue excerpt and a longer version that continues to the doorway.
Watch the two roles before choosing photos
Open the I Love The Smiths generator and play the original. The headphones wearer is on the left and turns to listen. The conversation starter is on the right. Use those positions to assign your photos, especially if you are making the meme with a friend.
Compare the original with the published AI example. The example shows the short dialogue option at 480p. It does not demonstrate a completed 23-second result.
Prepare the photos you want to use
Each selected role needs one photo of one person. Leave a role without a photo to keep its original character. A group photo makes the assignment unclear; prepare separate uploads when replacing both people.
Choose a sharp photo with an unobstructed face, even lighting and visible shoulders or upper body. You do not need headphones or the exact elevator pose. If an outfit matters, use a photo that shows it clearly. Clothing outside the photograph has to be inferred, particularly as the speaker moves toward the doorway in the longer cut.
JPG, PNG and WebP files are accepted, up to 8 MiB per photo. Use images you own or have permission to use.

Prices before applying existing credits
Existing credits reduce the amount to pay. Choose an option to see your final quote.
The table shows the regular options. Your credit balance and any accepted coupon can affect the final amount shown. Check that quote before starting. A higher resolution gives you a larger output frame; it does not guarantee more accurate faces or movement.
Check the conversation and the doorway
Follow the job in My videos. Once it is ready, watch the full clip with sound before downloading. For the short version, check both faces as the headphones wearer turns. For the longer version, also check the speaker's body, clothing and movement toward the exit.
Both options retain the original English soundtrack. Selecting a Spanish or Portuguese interface does not translate the dialogue. The film scene keeps its wide framing, including black bars within the 16:9 output. Exact likeness, clothing and lip-sync can vary.
If a request seems to be processing, check the existing job in My videos before starting another attempt. Download a finished video you want to keep while it remains available in your account.
Frequently asked questions
Can I replace just one person?
Yes. Upload a photo for either role and leave the other role empty. The unselected person keeps their original appearance.
Do I need a full-body photo for the 23-second version?
A separate full-body upload is not required. Use one clear photo per selected role, with as much useful clothing and body detail as possible. Parts outside the photo are inferred.
Will the result copy every expression and word exactly?
AI results vary. Use the published short example to judge the format, then check your own finished video. The 23-second option extends the scene, but its listing is not a guarantee of identical motion or dialogue sync.
