Miss the ride, dance anyway.

What the Missed Train Dance video looks like

This is the original. Your photo replaces its lead, so your video follows the same shots with your face. No two runs come out exactly the same.

Sydney creator @zacjeremiah filmed himself rushing toward platform doors, missing his ride, and breaking into a celebratory routine. Your photo takes his place while the station setting, motion, and audio stay untouched. Watch the original post
