The ATEEZ BAD AI dance, chest pop and all, danced by you from one photo

How to make an ATEEZ BAD dance video yourself

You do not need this page to make one. This is how the video is put together, with the prompts for every shot, so you can build it with any picture model and image-to-video model you like.

1. Step 1

   Draw the opening close-up from one photo

   Use a picture model that takes a reference photo and draw the first still from the chest up: you in the middle of an empty music-show stage under red light, in plain black, face in full view and lit. Describe the stage, the lights, the screens and the outfit in full, and say there is no logo, word or number anywhere.

2. Step 2

   Draw the other three from the first one

   For the routine, the chest pop and the closing look, give the picture model your photo and the first still as a second reference, and ask it to keep the outfit and the stage from that still but draw the framing and the pose you describe: head to toe for the routine, waist up for the pop, head and shoulders to finish.

3. Step 3

   Animate each still and cut every two bars

   Give each still to an image-to-video model with the move spelt out and the camera fixed. The song runs at about 124 beats a minute, so two bars is about 3.9 seconds: trim the first shot to 4.2 seconds, which also covers the moment before the first beat, the next two to 3.85 and the last to 3.9, lay them end to end at 9:16 with hard cuts, and add the song from its start on TikTok.

The shots, second by second

The prompts, shot by shot

Each shot is made in two steps. Give its still prompt to a picture model with your photo as the reference, then give the picture it draws to an image-to-video model with the motion prompt. Add these endings to every prompt: they set the look and keep the faces the same from shot to shot.

1. 0–4.2sFinding the beat

   Still prompt

   Copy

   A close shot from the chest up: the head and shoulders of the person in the reference photo, in an all-black stage outfit: a plain fitted black T-shirt, black straight-leg trousers and black boots, with no logo, print, label or writing on the chest or anywhere else, fill the frame. They stand still in the middle of the stage facing the camera, shoulders square, chin level, their face in full view and lit by the stage lights, eyes on the lens with a cool, intense look, mouth closed. Behind them, out of focus, the empty stage of a television music show: a glossy black floor, banks of red stage lights and white spotlights on a black lighting rig overhead, tall LED screens behind showing only plain glowing red light, and a little haze in the beams. Nothing on the stage, the screens or the rig has a logo, word, number or letter on it. Nobody else is on the stage, and no audience is in view.

   On the beat they roll one shoulder back, then the other, tilt their head to one side and snap it back to face the lens, then nod sharply on each beat, their shoulders bouncing with the rhythm, eyes on the lens. The camera holds steady close in front of them. They do not talk, sing or mouth any words. It stays the same stage throughout: the red stage lights stay on and the light does not change.

2. 4.2–8.1sThe routine

   Still prompt

   Copy

   The person in the reference photo, in an all-black stage outfit: a plain fitted black T-shirt, black straight-leg trousers and black boots, with no logo, print, label or writing on the chest or anywhere else, dances in the middle of the empty stage of a television music show: a glossy black floor, banks of red stage lights and white spotlights on a black lighting rig overhead, tall LED screens behind showing only plain glowing red light, and a little haze in the beams. Nothing on the stage, the screens or the rig has a logo, word, number or letter on it. They face the camera in a wide stance, knees bent, one arm bent across their chest and the other out to the side, hands held loosely, chin level and face toward the lens with a cool, intense look, mouth closed. A full-body shot from about five metres away, seen head to toe, boots on the glossy floor. Nobody else is on the stage, and no audience is in view.

   Motion prompt

   Copy

   They dance a sharp, hard-hitting routine on the spot: their arms snap out and back in on every beat, they step to one side and back, then roll their body from chest to hips and hit a sharp pose, facing the camera the whole time. The camera stays fixed in front of them, framing them head to toe. They do not talk, sing or mouth any words. It stays the same stage throughout: the red stage lights stay on and the light does not change.

3. 8.1–11.9sThe chest pop

   Still prompt

   Copy

   A close shot from the waist up: the head, shoulders, chest and arms of the person in the reference photo, in an all-black stage outfit: a plain fitted black T-shirt, black straight-leg trousers and black boots, with no logo, print, label or writing on the chest or anywhere else, fill the frame, the bottom edge of the picture at their belt and everything below it out of the picture. They stand still on the empty stage of a television music show: a glossy black floor, banks of red stage lights and white spotlights on a black lighting rig overhead, tall LED screens behind showing only plain glowing red light, and a little haze in the beams. Nothing on the stage, the screens or the rig has a logo, word, number or letter on it. They face the camera, arms held a little out from their sides with the elbows slightly bent, hands open and relaxed, shoulders back, chin level, eyes locked on the lens with an intense, confident look, mouth closed. Nobody else is on the stage, and no audience is in view.

   Motion prompt

   Copy

   They do a hard chest pop on every beat: their chest shoots forward a hand's width and snaps straight back, a sudden jolt that shakes the T-shirt, four big pops and then four more, fast and clearly visible, while their shoulders and head stay level and their arms stay still, eyes locked on the lens the whole time. The camera holds steady close in front of them. They do not talk, sing or mouth any words. It stays the same stage throughout: the red stage lights stay on and the light does not change.

4. 11.9–15.8sThe closing look

   Still prompt

   Copy

   A close shot from the chest up: the head and shoulders of the person in the reference photo, in an all-black stage outfit: a plain fitted black T-shirt, black straight-leg trousers and black boots, with no logo, print, label or writing on the chest or anywhere else, fill the frame. They stand still facing the camera, chin level, looking straight into the lens with a cool, intense look, mouth closed. Behind them, out of focus, the empty stage of a television music show: a glossy black floor, banks of red stage lights and white spotlights on a black lighting rig overhead, tall LED screens behind showing only plain glowing red light, and a little haze in the beams. Nothing on the stage, the screens or the rig has a logo, word, number or letter on it. Nobody else is on the stage, and no audience is in view.

   Motion prompt

   Copy

   They tilt their head slightly, give the lens a slow, knowing half-smile, then freeze completely still, holding the look, as if the video has been paused. The camera stops and holds still. They do not talk, sing or mouth any words. It stays the same stage throughout: the red stage lights stay on and the light does not change.

Where it goes wrong

• Leave the backup dancers out

  The stage versions have a whole crew behind the lead, but a picture model asked for dancers draws faces of its own, and a video model then swaps arms and faces between them and you. One person on an empty stage keeps the video about you.

• Keep the screens blank

  A music-show stage is where a picture model puts the show's name and a song title in giant letters, the way the real broadcasts do. Say the screens show only plain red light and that nothing on the stage has a logo, word, number or letter on it. Do the same for the T-shirt's chest.

• Keep the arms still for the pop

  Ask for a chest pop with the arms moving too and the model turns it into a general dance and loses the move. Draw the still with the arms held a little out from the sides, and say in the motion that the shoulders and head stay level and the arms stay still while the chest pops on every beat.

• Say the light stays the same

  A still lit by red stage lights does not keep its light in the clip on its own. Say in every motion prompt that it is the same stage and that the red lights stay on, or a clip can drift brighter, change colour or change the set halfway through.

• Only people who said yes

  Use your own photo or one of someone who agreed. Do not use celebrities, members of the group, the dancers from anyone's posts, or anyone who has not agreed to be in the video: a realistic video of a real person made without their consent can hurt them, and platforms take it down.

• Label it as AI-generated

  Switch on TikTok's AI-generated content label before you post. A realistic clip of someone performing on a stage is exactly the kind people ask about, and viewers trust a post that says so.
