STORM II AI Video Generator
You stand in the middle of a crowd on the school steps, in a white shirt and a loosened striped tie. You turn to the camera, give the tie a tug, everyone stares into the lens, then the whole crowd bows deep and looks up at the sky, again and again, while you never move. One photo puts you in the middle. Add a second and the whole crowd takes on that look: your kids, your cat, your friends. With the original song, 15 seconds in 16:9, 10 credits at 720p.

What is the STORM II AI trend?
The film. STORM is a short film by GENER8ION, the duo of French producer Surkin and director Romain Gavras, starring the Swedish rapper Yung Lean. It came out on 24 April 2026 with two singles, βSTORM Iβ and βSTORM IIβ. The story is set in an all-boys boarding school, and the choreography is by Damien Jalet.
The scene. The film ends with the moment everyone now copies: Yung Lean, in a white shirt and a loosened striped tie, stands motionless in the middle of dozens of boys in dark school blazers. They stare into the camera, then, in a wide shot in front of the school doors, the whole crowd bows deep and throws their heads back to the sky, again and again on the beat, while he never moves. The official video had about 36.9 million YouTube views by 12 October 2026.
How it became an AI trend. At the start of September 2026 Higgsfield released Genjutsu, a tool that moves a clip's motion onto new people, and from around 11 September AI versions spread on TikTok. One of the early ones, an Indonesian version with kids in the crowd, had about 1.4 million views by 12 October. People put themselves in the middle and swapped the crowd for their kids, their cats or their football team. Searches for the AI version peaked on 19 to 21 September.
The VMAs. On 27 September 2026 GENER8ION and Yung Lean performed the ending live at the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles, Yung Lean's first US TV appearance, and the song had a second wave of searches.

Who's in the crowd?
Photo 1 is you, standing still. Photo 2 decides who fills the steps around you, and everyone in the crowd takes on that one look.
The original crowd
Skip photo 2 and you get the original look: rows of boys in dark school blazers bowing around you.
All your kids
Add a photo of your son or daughter and everyone around you becomes them, all bowing to you at once.
A crowd of cats
Add a photo of your cat or dog and the crowd turns into that pet, bowing low and looking up on the beat. A pet can also take the middle spot as photo 1.
Your friend or your team
Use a photo of a friend, or of someone in your team kit, and the crowd copies that look. One photo sets everyone, so pick the one you want everywhere.
Better photos, better crowd
You're the still point in the middle, so your face carries the clip.
Clear and front-facing
Even light, looking at the camera, one face per photo. Skip sunglasses, low hats and heavy filters.
We add the outfit
Upload any photo of you. In the video you wear a white shirt with a loosened striped school tie, like the lead in the film. Whoever is in photo 2 keeps their own outfit, copied across the whole crowd.
Photo 2 is copied to everyone
Whatever is in photo 2 is repeated across the whole crowd, so use a photo of one person or one pet, alone in the frame.
Pets: one sharp animal
For a pet crowd, a sharp photo of one animal facing the camera works best. Fur color and markings carry over.

Same deal on every one: your photos, the original moves and the sound.
