I Love the Smiths AI: A Familiar Elevator Scene, with You in It

I’m the maker of this project. It recreates the elevator exchange from (500) Days of Summer using one or two photos.

The scope is deliberately small: one scene, fixed dialogue and sound, and no prompt box. You choose who wears the headphones and who starts the conversation. One photo works with a fictional co-star; two photos let you put both people into the scene.

The article walks through the result and its limitations. Hair and clothing details can drift, so the homepage shows a generated example alongside the input photos. Generation is paid, starting at $12.99.

I’d be interested to hear whether this kind of single-scene tool is useful enough on its own, or whether you’d expect it to be part of a broader video editor.
