01What happens in the Smalltown Boy trend
The Smalltown Boy trend is a 15-second vertical clip where two dancing characters trade places in rhythm. Two dancing cats take turns holding their heads in front and dancing in the background.
Two photos put you or your pets in each dancing role across the silent clip. The video preserves the source's vertical shape, and results can vary.
| Time | Beat |
|---|---|
| Shot 1 | A ginger cat stands close to the camera with open mouth and paws touching its head. |
| Shot 2 | A black-and-white cat dances behind the first cat. |
| Shot 3 | The black-and-white cat steps forward to the front and clutches its head. |
| Shot 4 | The ginger cat moves back and dances in the background. |

03The photo that works
The Smalltown Boy AI video generator requires clear reference pictures to track each character properly across the full dance routine.
- Upload two separate, well-lit photos with distinct faces so roles do not look swapped or unclear.
- Use only pictures of yourself or your own pets, such as a dog or cat, with full permission.
- Ensure the first photo clearly shows the subject intended for the opening foreground spot.
- Ensure the second photo shows the second subject intended to dance in the background first.
- Avoid using blurry images, low-light snapshots, or identical duplicate pictures.
04The Smalltown Boy AI prompt
On AI Trend Club, there is no AI prompt to write because the site workflow automates the sequence. If you want to test another AI video generator that accepts reference images, you can start with the text below.
The prompt describes two distinct characters switching positions so the model can track their identities after the swap.
Vertical video matching a 15-second rhythm. Two dancing characters switch spots. First, character A from the first reference photo stands in the foreground close to the camera, mouth open, paws or hands touching its head. In the background, character B from the second reference photo dances. Then character B steps forward into the front position clutching its head. Character A moves into the background and dances. The camera remains fixed in front as both characters trade places smoothly.05CapCut template or AI video?
You might see creators discussing an AI template on CapCut alongside dedicated AI generation workflows. Free templates exist on editing apps, but specific template availability and export conditions have not been verified across every platform.
Check each mobile template carefully for its specific photo requirements, watermark rules, and free export terms. With this AI workflow, you upload two reference photos directly to re-render the dancing roles in a browser, then export an MP4 to edit or caption anywhere you like.
06Is the Smalltown Boy AI video free?
Watching the original reference post and opening the trend page is free. New accounts receive 25 welcome credits upon signup, but that is only enough for a few images and cannot cover this video.
Generating the 480p video costs 692 credits. If a render fails, the credits come back automatically to your account balance. To get enough credits, you can choose a one-time Week pass or buy a credit pack. Passes expire without automatic renewal.
| Option | Price | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| Week pass | $6.99 | 800 |
| 1,000 credits | $9.90 | 1000 |
07Post it
Because the generated MP4 file is completely silent, remember to add Smalltown Boy by Bronski Beat when uploading your final clip to social media. In your post description, give reference credit to @fluffyfishlover, who shared the reference post featuring cats Fluffy and Moomoo.
People share this meme to turn two of their own pets or themselves into a funny dancing pair that switches spots. Here are simple caption ideas you can use on your post:
