# How to Make the Uptown Funk AI Video From One Photo

> The Uptown Funk AI trend step by step: which photo to use, what happens in the 12 seconds, whose clothes you dance in, the best photos and the price.

A city street lined with storefronts, a striped awning, and five men walking toward the camera in step. The Uptown Funk AI trend puts someone new in the lead spot in the middle of that line. Here is how to put yourself there from one photo, without a prompt or an editing app.

## What is the Uptown Funk AI trend?

It is AI remixes of the street dance from the Uptown Funk music video by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars, where someone new takes the lead spot in the dance line. The [Uptown Funk template](https://memefxai.com/uptown-funk-ai) puts the person from your photo in the middle of a five-man line on a city street, in the music-video style, with the sound of the clip.

## How to make it

1. Open the [Uptown Funk template](https://memefxai.com/uptown-funk-ai).
2. Add one photo of you: sharp, face clearly visible, ideally full body.
3. Pick a version and generate. Every version renders the whole 12-second clip.
4. Download the 16:9 MP4, or share it straight to TikTok, Reels or Shorts from your phone. The sound is already in it.

## What happens in the video

- **The line walks in:** you walk toward the camera in the middle of the five-man line, the backing dancers on both sides.
- **Your close-up:** the camera comes in close while you groove at the storefronts under the striped awning.
- **The whole line dances:** back to the wide shot, the line swings its arms and hits the moves together in the street.

## Your clothes or the clip's?

You dance in the clothes from your photo, not the lead's pink suit jacket. A full-body photo shows your whole outfit; with a close-up, the rest of the look is filled in. Only the lead changes: the four backing dancers keep their own looks.

## Photos that work best

- **Full body if you can.** One person, face to the camera, sharp and evenly lit.
- **Wear what you want to dance in.** Your outfit carries into every shot.
- **Ask first.** Use a photo of yourself or a friend who agreed to it. Photos of celebrities or other public figures won't pass review.
