How do I make an AI Bigfoot video of myself?

Add a photo of yourself, keep Bigfoot selected and tap Make the effect. A few minutes later you have an 8-second selfie vlog in a misty forest where Bigfoot walks up behind you, waves and joins the selfie.

What is the AI Bigfoot vlog trend?

Short AI videos of Bigfoot filming himself in the woods like a vlogger, which went viral on TikTok and Instagram from late May 2025, after Google's Veo 3 started making video with sound. Each clip was 8 seconds long.

Can I be in the video with Bigfoot?

Yes, that is the point of this effect. Most Bigfoot generators make Bigfoot on his own from a text prompt; here you are the vlogger and he photobombs your selfie.

He grunts. You do the talking: a whispered line to the camera, a gasp and a laugh, with the forest sounds behind.

Can my kids or my partner be in it?

Yes. Add a second photo, or one photo of the two of you, and both of you meet him. Use photos of your own children only; anyone under 18 needs a parent or guardian to agree.

How long is it, and what does it cost?

8 seconds by default (7 credits at 720p); you can pick 5 to 15. The $9.99 Single pack holds 12 credits, packs never expire, and a failed render is never charged.

No. He is a big, friendly, shaggy giant who waves and gives a thumbs up. There is a jump, then a laugh; no gore.

Do I need to write a prompt or install an app?

Neither. It runs in the browser on a phone or a laptop; the forest, Bigfoot, the camera and the sound are already set. You only add the photo.

The short answer

To make an AI Bigfoot video with yourself in it, add one photo of you, leave Bigfoot selected and tap Make the effect. A few minutes later you get an 8-second vertical selfie vlog: a misty pine forest in early-morning light, you holding the phone at arm's length and whispering "Guys... I think something is behind me", while a huge, shaggy Bigfoot peeks out from behind a tree, strolls up and leans into the frame over your shoulder to wave. You turn, jump, burst out laughing and lean in for the selfie while he gives a thumbs up. It comes with sound (forest, twigs snapping, your gasp and his deep grunt). Add a second photo and two of you meet him. No prompt to write and no app. 8 seconds at 720p costs 7 credits, and a failed render is never charged.

The Bigfoot vlog trend, with you in the shot

The AI Bigfoot vlogs took off in late May 2025, right after Google released Veo 3, the first video model that made sound and speech: Bigfoot holding a phone or a selfie stick in the woods, talking to the camera like a tired lifestyle vlogger about tourists, trail cameras and blurry photos of himself. Each clip was 8 seconds, the longest Veo 3 made, and accounts stitched several together. Searches for "bigfoot vlog" went from a few hundred a month to tens of thousands in June 2025.

Almost every Bigfoot video generator still works that way: you write a prompt and get Bigfoot on his own. This effect does the other half of the joke. It is your vlog, you are the one holding the phone, and Bigfoot is the one who walks into it. Same misty forest, same handheld selfie look, same 8 seconds, but with your own face, so it is a clip your friends will actually recognise.

How to make an AI Bigfoot video

Add a photo of yourself. Front-facing, face clearly visible; a head-and-shoulders selfie is exactly right for this one.
Add a second photo to bring someone along. A photo of each of you, or one of the two of you: a couple, a parent and child, two friends on a camping trip.
Leave Bigfoot selected and tap Make the effect. It opens at 8 seconds, vertical, the way the original vlogs ran.
Download the MP4 and post it. The sound is already in it.

What you get

The forest. Tall pines, morning mist and soft light, shot like a phone held at arm's length with a little natural shake.
The setup. You whispering to the camera like an outdoor vlogger who thinks they heard something.
The photobomb. Bigfoot peeks out from behind a tree, walks up and leans into the frame over your shoulder, waving.
The ending. You turn, jump, then crack up and take the selfie together; he gives a thumbs up.
The sound. Birdsong, snapping twigs, your whisper and gasp, and a deep, friendly Bigfoot grunt.
The tone. Funny, not scary: a gentle giant with shaggy brown fur, no gore, fine for the whole family.

Meet Bigfoot as a family

Because it is a friendly photobomb and not a horror clip, it is a good one to make with your kids: a camping-trip selfie with a parent and child where Bigfoot drops by. Add a photo of each of you, or one photo of you together, and both of you are in the vlog when he leans in. Use photos of your own children only; anyone under 18 needs a parent or guardian to agree.

Tips for a better Bigfoot vlog

Use a selfie. The video is a selfie, so a front-facing photo from arm's length matches it best.
Outdoor clothes help. A jacket, a beanie or a flannel shirt fits the woods; your outfit stays as it is in the photo.
Keep it vertical. The vlog look works best at 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
Make a series. Each render is a slightly different encounter; post two or three as "episodes", the way the original Bigfoot accounts did.
Try another take. A new one costs the same credits, and a failed one costs nothing.

More effects for spooky season

For a scarier story, the AI zombie trend turns one of you into a zombie, and the AI Halloween costume dresses you up at a house party. For another big moment from one photo, try the car jump or the Earth zoom out. The full list is on AI video effects.
