Two photos, five dancers
The template runs the street-dance stretch of the AI CEO parody: five dancers in suits on a city street at dusk, one lead in the middle and four backing him up. Photo 1 becomes the lead and photo 2 becomes the whole backup crew, so no face from the trend clip stays on screen. The clips below come from the trend clip and a fan recast, not from Oeneo AI.
The frame
In the trend clip, the tech-CEO look-alike in the navy suit and blue tie dances in the middle while four other look-alikes copy him. Ring 1 takes your first photo. All four rings marked 2 take your second photo, whether it shows one person or a small group.
Photo 1 · Center lead
The lead sings straight at the camera, throws an arm up and looks to the sky in the close-ups, then heads the line in every wide shot. It has the most screen time and the biggest face on screen, so photo 1 should be one sharp, front-facing photo of one person.
Photo 2 · Backup crew
The four backup dancers copy the lead in the wide street shots and crouch with him in the final pose. A group photo spreads its people across the line; a solo photo puts the same face in every spot. Crew faces are small in the wide shots, so every face in photo 2 should be clear and uncovered.
Example recast
In this fan recast of the same street dance, a woman with long strawberry-blond hair takes the navy suit and one round mascot head fills every backup spot. That's the solo-crew idea at work: one character in photo 2 becomes the whole line. It wasn't made on Oeneo AI, and every run of the template comes out a little different.
Add your two photosIt's the caption of a fan-made AI parody posted on X on October 7, 2026: AI look-alikes of tech CEOs, among them Elon Musk, Jensen Huang, Mark Zuckerberg and Sam Altman, dance through a remake of Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars' 2014 music video. It spread because of who was dancing: the faces of the AI boom, which reposts tied to pricey AI chips and RAM. This page uses its street dance with your two photos. It isn't an AI cover, and it isn't affiliated with the artists, their labels, the parody's creator or any company.

Casting ideas
The parody worked because everyone knew the faces. Put the person your friends, team or family will recognize in the lead, and a photo of everyone else in the crew.
“Q4 planning, but make it funk”
Put the manager in the navy suit and a team photo in the crew for a farewell, a launch-day post or an offsite opener. Ask everyone before their photo goes in.
“Our board meeting, honestly”
Recreate the joke that made the trend: a founder in front, the startup team behind, all in the same crouch. You get the tech satire without borrowing a real executive's face.
“The birthday boy has arrived”
Put the guest of honor in the lead and a group photo of the friends in the crew. It makes an invite, a toast intro or a group-chat reply nobody scrolls past.
“The groomsmen were briefed”
A stag-night teaser or a wedding-day surprise: the groom spins in front while the groomsmen hit the same pose behind. One group photo of the groomsmen covers the whole crew.
The lead fills the close-ups, so photo 1 needs one clear face. The crew dances smaller in the wide shots, so photo 2 can be a group as long as every face is visible. The clip handles the suits either way.
Center lead: one person, facing the camera
Close-ups put this face across the screen. Use one sharp, well-lit photo of one person; anyone can lead.
Backup crew: a group, every face clear
Two to four people side by side spread across the line. Faces shouldn't overlap or turn away.
Backup crew: or just one person
A solo photo turns all four backup dancers into the same person, the easiest way to put one friend everywhere.
Two people in the lead photo
The lead takes exactly one person. With two faces the model has to guess who leads, and may blend them.
A phone or sunglasses over the face
Hidden eyes and mouths are the first things to drift, most of all in the lead's close-ups.
Dark, blurry or tiny photos
Photos under 512px on the short side are refused, and dark or soft ones lose the face first in the wide shots.

It's a fan-made AI parody of the Uptown Funk music video, posted on X on October 7, 2026 with the caption “Uptown Funk, but the CEOs showed up.” AI look-alikes of tech CEOs, among them Elon Musk, Jensen Huang, Mark Zuckerberg and Sam Altman, dance down a city street in suits. This template recreates the street dance with two photos you choose: one lead and one backup crew.
Because of who was dancing. The cast are the faces of the AI boom, and reposts ran with the joke that the people blamed for pricey AI chips and RAM were now singing their hearts out in the street. Casting your own boss, founders or friends keeps the joke without using a real executive's face.
Add a photo of one person to Center lead, then a photo of one person or a small group to Backup crew. Check length, aspect ratio and resolution, then press Generate; the button shows the price first. Download the clip when it's ready.
Browsing, adding photos and checking prices are free. Each video costs 199 to 957 credits depending on length and resolution, and 359 credits for the default 15-second 768p clip. New accounts get 10 free credits, which isn’t enough for a full video on its own.
Yes. Backup crew takes one person or a small group. A group photo spreads its people across the four backup spots, reusing faces when there are fewer than four; a solo photo puts the same person in every spot. Center lead always takes exactly one person.
No. The audio is generated with each video and is not the Uptown Funk recording by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars; Oeneo AI has no licence for that song. To post with the real track, add it from your platform’s music library.
No. The trend went viral with AI look-alikes of real executives, but this template is only for photos of adults who agreed to be in it: you, friends, family or colleagues who said yes. Don't upload public figures, strangers or children. Every dancer on screen is recast from your two photos, so no face from the trend clip stays.
No. The lead wears the navy suit, white shirt and blue tie from the clip, and the crew keep their dark suits and jackets, so everyone looks like part of the same video. Your photos set the faces, skin tones, hair and ages.
No. An AI cover changes the voice on the song; this template changes who is on screen. Oeneo AI doesn’t offer voice cloning or AI covers.
No. It's an unofficial, fan-made template inspired by an AI parody. It isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Mark Ronson, Bruno Mars, their labels, the parody's creator, the executives it imitates or their companies.
The street dance cuts between wide shots and close-ups in about 15 seconds, and five people keep moving their arms and mouths. The crew is small in the wide shots, so their faces vary more than the lead's. Sharp, front-facing photos give the steadiest result; small changes in hands and mouths can still happen.
Videos made on a free account are public in the Oeneo AI gallery; on a paid plan they are private by default. Decide before you upload a friend’s face, and label the video as AI when you post it.
