# Smalltown Boy AI Dance: Two-Photo Scream and Swap

URL: https://aieffectlab.com/video-effects/smalltown-boy

Create a Smalltown Boy AI dance from two photos and a complete built-in motion reference. Assign the first close-up and background dancer, then review the server quote.

## What this effect does

One dancer reacts close to the wide-angle lens while the other moves behind; they exchange roles and finish together. Use two identity photos with the full built-in reference. The template requests 22 seconds on Seedance 2.5, with silent output.

## Prepare the inputs

Photo A replaces the person who takes the first close-up. Photo B replaces the initial background dancer, who later comes forward. These are separate identity photos, not start/end frames. Choose one consenting adult per photo with a sharp face and visible outfit. The camera and outdoor setting come from the reference.

### Smalltown Boy duo

Two photos; retain the first close-up, role exchange, shared dance and final approach.

Edit the complete @Video1. @Image1 replaces ONLY the person who first performs the exaggerated close-up at the lens. @Image2 replaces ONLY the person who initially dances behind them and later takes the close-up. These are two independent identity references, never start/end frames. Preserve each photo subject’s face, hair, body appearance, clothes and accessories in every shot. Track identities through the foreground/background role exchange; never swap identities when positions change. Preserve the outdoor setting, wide-angle close-ups, camera movement, action timing, role exchange, side-by-side dance and complete final approach from @Video1. Do not shorten the sequence or replace it with a generic dance. Keep coherent hands, feet and separate bodies. Hold the final pose only for the sub-second rounding remainder. Silent output, with no existing recording or named voice.

## How to make the video

Keep Seedance 2.5 selected for the full sequence and choose 480p or 720p. Upload both photos in the intended role order. Review the 22-second quote and your balance, then submit once. Keep the task number and follow its progress in My Creations. Refreshing does not start another chargeable task.

## Review the result

Check both close-ups, the change of foreground role, the shared dance and the final approach. Faces, hair and clothes should remain tied to the right person through every cut. Look for merged bodies, distorted hands and a missing ending. The preview shows the reference, not verified generated quality.

MiniMax H3 supports at most 15 seconds here and cannot cover this reference; select Seedance rather than trimming the clip. If submission is uncertain, query the existing task. Failed tasks follow the refund process. Text direction may adjust details but cannot replace the motion video.

## Common questions

### Who gets the first close-up?

Photo A is the first foreground subject. Photo B starts dancing behind and later takes the close-up. The model receives both photos as separate identities plus the complete motion video; it must track the person, not just the screen position.

### Is this the complete dance, and does it include the song?

The built-in silent reference lasts about 21.67 seconds and contains the role change and shared finish. The request and reference quote use 22 whole seconds. The original recording is removed, and audio uploads are not offered in this template.

### Which model, cost and quality checks apply?

The complete version uses Seedance 2.5 at 480p or 720p. Credits follow the server quote for 22 seconds of output and reference. Failed tasks follow the refund process. No paid output test was run for this release, so exact motion and likeness are not guaranteed.
