Tiny Desk AI video prompt

A copy-paste Tiny Desk AI video prompt for Dreamina, Kling or Seedance image-to-video with sound on, with tips to get the whole move, or skip the prompt and use one photo.

Make your Tiny Desk video

Paste this into Dreamina, Kling or Seedance image-to-video with sound on with your photo as the reference image. It describes the whole move in order, so the tool keeps every beat.

Vertical 9:16, 10 seconds, a live desk concert in a cluttered office filmed from a fixed camera at desk height, warm tungsten light, documentary look. The person from the reference photo sings lead at a desk microphone with the exact same face, hair and outfit in every frame, wearing plain black headphones. Behind the desk: shelves packed with books, records and plants, a red electric keyboard at the left, a keys player, two backing singers and a saxophone player, all adults, all different from the lead. 0-2s: close-up of the lead holding a long smooth soul note, eyes closed then opening to the camera. 2-4s: medium shot of the keys player and backing singers swaying and singing the answer line. 4-7.5s: back to the lead in close-up, a high note with the head back, a big laugh, a hand shaking on the beat. 7.5-10s: the sax player steps forward for a short solo while the lead nods along. Audio: an original upbeat 1980s-style soul and funk song played live by this band, the lead singing wordless melodic lines, lip movement matching the voice. No logos, no readable text, no real celebrity, exactly one lead singer.

Getting the whole move

  • Do not upload the NPR clip or name the singer in the prompt: hosted Seedance and Kling models refuse a recognisable real face in a reference video, and the result fails the output check.
  • Use one sharp, front-facing photo from the chest up, in even light, without sunglasses or a hat; the headphones are added by the prompt.
  • Turn sound generation on. Without it the band plays in silence and the lip movement drifts.
  • Expect a few tries: the keyboard sometimes changes colour between cuts, or a second copy of you appears among the backing singers.

Skip the prompt

If the tool keeps changing your face or loses the scene halfway, Reelsame runs a tested scene prompt on one photo: $5.90 per video, failed renders refunded.
