The headphone listener stands on the left. The person who starts the conversation stands on the right. Add one photo or replace both people. ![1: Headphone listener · left](https://ilovethesmiths.me/assets/smiths/examples/green-clean/man-role.webp) ![2: Speaker · right](https://ilovethesmiths.me/assets/smiths/examples/green-clean/woman-role.webp) | Role | Position and scene | | --- | --- | | 1. Headphone listener · left | Headphone listener on the left. | | 2. Speaker · right | Speaker on the right. | ## Two people, one familiar exchange The template follows the elevator encounter from (500) Days of Summer. A headphone listener stands on the left; a second person stands on the right and starts the conversation. The words about The Smiths turn a quiet ride into a moment of connection. The AI reference keeps both people in a continuous landscape shot. The wall panels, close standing positions and headphone gesture anchor the scene. Your selected photos supply the new faces. ## Your photos, your roles Upload one photo to replace either person. Upload a second photo to replace the other role. Each photo belongs to its own side of the elevator, so you can make a version for yourself and a friend. An unselected role keeps its included appearance. You can keep testing one photo while the other selection stays in place. ## Preview, then create Generate a free image preview and check the two roles. Your selected photos stay with the purchase. Choose a pack of one, two or three videos, then complete payment on the same page. Every purchase includes both landscape and portrait downloads of the same 15-second video. The video appears automatically when it is ready. The MP4 combines picture and scene audio and has no watermark. You can also add an email while you wait. ## A reference with a clear source Compare the [AI elevator example](https://www.tiktok.com/@shadow96976/video/7704611374281788704) with [Searchlight’s official movie excerpt](https://www.tiktok.com/@searchlightpics/video/7330753248997035306). The AI example recasts the encounter in one shared shot; the official excerpt shows the film’s original actors and edited exchange. ## Download and share Watch the full video once to check the faces, gestures and sound. Choose Share to send a result link, or download the MP4 to post from your device. Downloads and shared results are available for 3 days. ## Is one photo enough? Yes. Add a photo to either elevator role. The other person keeps the included appearance. Add two separate photos to replace both people in the same scene. ## Which person does each photo replace? The left role is the person listening through headphones. The right role is the person who speaks to them. Use the role labels and scene example to choose where each photo belongs. ## What is the I Love The Smiths scene? It is the elevator encounter in the 2009 film (500) Days of Summer. Summer hears the music Tom is listening to and tells him she loves The Smiths. AI versions recast that familiar exchange with different faces. ## What song is playing? The film scene uses There Is a Light That Never Goes Out by The Smiths. The finished MP4 includes the reference scene audio, so the picture and sound play together. ## Which photo should I choose? Choose a sharp, well-lit photo with one clear face, head, shoulders and upper body. Keep the face clear of sunglasses, hands and heavy shadows. Use a separate photo for each person you want to replace. ## How do I share it on TikTok or Snapchat? Choose Share on the finished result to send a watch link, or download the watermark-free MP4 and upload it to TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat or YouTube. Save the file within 3 days. ## What should I do if a preview cannot be made? Choose Change photo and select a clearer upper-body image with one visible face. Check which role is selected, then generate the preview again. ## Can I try it for free? Try a free preview. One 15-second video costs $9.99, two videos cost $17.99 and three videos cost $23.99. Each purchase includes landscape and portrait downloads of the same 15-second video. Create one video now; keep the remaining credits in your account for later photo changes. ## How do I receive my video? Your result appears on this page when it is ready. You can add an email for a completion message. Open the result to watch, download or share it. ## Can I make it on my phone without writing prompts? Yes. Open I Love The Smiths AI in your phone browser, assign your photos and generate a free preview. The scene, movement and audio are prepared for you. You can also create on a desktop browser. ## Is this the same as the 500 chips of summer meme? 500 chips of summer is a joke caption for an AI parody of the same film scene. It plays on the film title. Different AI versions recast the two people while keeping the elevator exchange recognizable. ## Do you offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee? Not happy with your video?
