Pick a portrait that works
Use a clear, well-lit photo of yourself or an adult who has agreed to appear. One person per photo, with the face visible and some room around the head and shoulders. JPG, PNG and WebP files up to 10 MB are accepted. Avoid group shots, heavy filters and photos of people who have not consented.
Choose your role in the band
The studio offers five band positions: back left, back right, keyboard, lead and sax. You do not need to fill all five — upload one to five portraits and the remaining performers are filled by the model. Every lineup costs the same, so the choice is about the scene, not the price.
Pay once and generate
Confirm 480p at $5.99 or 720p at $8.99, choose vertical or horizontal format, and continue to Stripe. Once payment is verified, the studio generates a 15-second Tiny Desk AI video with a fixed soundtrack. You can watch and download it in the same browser for up to 30 days; adding an email is optional.
Keep the result honest
The output is an AI-created, unofficial interpretation, not a real concert appearance and not affiliated with NPR or Tiny Desk Concerts. Exact facial likeness, mouth synchronization and motion can vary between generations.
See the studio, upload one to five portraits and check the one-time pricing.
