What happens in the clip

• 0–2s: You stand facing the camera with a confident look and start to sway to a steady beat.
• 2–5s: You snap a crisp salute with one hand, then another on the beat, with a cheeky look into the lens.
• 5–8s: One hand bounces off your chest in a quick pat-pat-pat while your body rocks lightly from side to side.
• 8–10.5s: You turn once on the spot, stamping your feet on the beat, and come back to face the camera.
• 10.5–12s: You land in a proud pose with one more salute and hold it, looking straight into the lens.

Why people try it

It looks like a clip on a tripod: one front view, the whole body in frame, a dark background and nothing cut. The scene and the moves are drawn by the AI around your photo.
