How to Make a Hotel Lobby Video with AI (Step by Step)

Making your own Hotel Lobby-style video takes about five minutes and zero editing skills. Here is the whole process, plus the tricks that separate a great result from a weird one.

Step 1 — Pick your stage

Open the generator and choose a stage template. The template video is what the AI uses for the camera angle, lighting, gestures, and pacing — the orange booth is the classic, but other stages give the same duet format a different mood.

Step 2 — Upload two photos

You need exactly two photos: one for the left performer, one for the right. The AI keeps their identity and maps them onto the two rappers in the template.

Photo tips that matter:

• Face the camera. Front-facing or near-front-facing shots work best. Heavy side profiles confuse the identity match.
• One person per photo. Group shots force the model to guess which face you mean.
• Good light, sharp focus. Blurry or dark photos produce blurry or drifting faces.
• Shoulders up. A head-and-shoulders framing matches what the template expects.
• Pets and characters work too — clear, front-facing "portraits" of a dog, a plushie, or a cartoon character can be surprisingly good.

Step 3 — Generate

Hit generate and let it cook. A video takes a few minutes — the model is rendering 12 seconds of motion and sound, not just one frame. You can leave the tab; the result will be there when you come back.

Each video costs 100 credits (new accounts get 100 free, so your first one is on us). If a generation fails, the credits are refunded automatically.

Step 4 — Download and share

The result is a vertical video with sound, sized for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts as-is. Download it, post it, tag it.

Sharing tips:

• Post it muted-friendly — the orange booth reads even without sound, but turn sound on for the full effect.
• The joke lands hardest when viewers recognize both "performers". Pick pairings your audience knows.
• Caption it simply: the format is already the joke.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Two faces in one photo → the model picks one at random. Crop first.
• Heavy filters or sunglasses → identity drifts mid-video.
• Tiny faces → if the face is a small part of the frame, upscale or crop before uploading.
