How to make the Hotel Lobby AI video, step by step
This tutorial shows how to make the Hotel Lobby AI video that stays closest to the original clip: the same 14-second scene, the same cuts and camera moves and the same sound, with your faces in it. You need 2 photos and no prompt, editing app or download of the TikTok.
Switch between the original clip and a real result of this maker, unedited, made October 10, 2026 with photos of AI-generated sample people.
What you need
- 2 photos: Left: stands on the left in the long white coat; Right: stands on the right and raps toward the mic.
- 100 credits ($9.90 in the smallest pack), taken only when the video finishes.
- about 5–10 minutes of waiting. You can leave the page.
- A phone or a computer with a browser. No app, no editor, no account on another AI tool.
Step-by-step: make the Hotel Lobby AI video
Open the template
Go to the AI Hotel Lobby trend page on Remake Your Meme. The maker sits next to a real 14-second result, so you can compare it with the original clip before you spend anything.
Choose 2 photos
The Hotel Lobby AI video needs 2 photos: photo 1 is left (stands on the left in the long white coat); photo 2 is right (stands on the right and raps toward the mic). Use one person per photo with the whole face visible, ideally front-facing and sharp.
Upload and confirm
Drop the photos into the maker and confirm that you have permission to use them. They go straight to private storage and are deleted with the video after 30 days.
Keep the trend sound
Leave "Trend sound" on to get the audio of the original clip under your video. Choose "No song" if you want to add the official sound inside TikTok instead.
Start and wait
Press "Make my video". The Hotel Lobby AI video usually takes about 5–10 minutes. You can close the tab or start another one; the video waits in Your videos, and we email you when it is ready.
Download and post
Download the 14-second 4:3 MP4 without a watermark and post it on TikTok, Reels or Shorts. Label it as AI-generated where the app asks, and tag the people in it.
Why this remake stays almost identical to the original
Most AI versions of this trend are generated from a prompt and a reference image, so the room, the timing and the camera drift away from the clip. Here the original clip itself is given to the video model as the motion reference, together with your photos, so every shot follows the original and only the people change.
Play the original and the remake together
Both clips start from the same second, so you can follow every shot and cut side by side.
What stays exactly as in the original
- The flat orange booth and the microphone hanging from the ceiling.
- The camera, the cuts and both performers' moves, taken directly from the original clip.
- The audio of the trend clip under the video.
What changes
- The two faces, hair, beards and glasses come from your two photos: photo 1 on the left in the long white coat, photo 2 on the right.
- The outfits stay as in the clip.
How to get the closest result
- Use waist-up or head-and-shoulders photos facing the camera: both people turn their heads during the song.
- Match the photos to the sides: the person you want on the left goes in photo 1.
Three ways to make a Hotel Lobby AI video almost identical to the original
| Method | How close to the original | What you do |
|---|---|---|
| This maker | Very close: built from the original clip, with the scene, cuts, camera and sound already set up. | Add 2 photos and press one button. Failed videos are refunded. |
| Motion transfer, such as Higgsfield Genjutsu | Very close: Higgsfield says the motion, camera and timing stay as filmed and everything else is rebuilt from your references. | Find and download the original clip, upload it with your photos, describe the swap, check every shot, then add the sound back. |
| Prompt and a reference photo | Loose: the model invents the room, the timing and the camera again on every run. | Write a long prompt for every shot and retry until the scene looks right. |

The manual way, for comparison
This is how people make the Hotel Lobby AI video with a general AI video tool. It works, but every step is a place where the result drifts from the original:
- Find an AI version of the orange booth clip on TikTok and save it.
- Give the clip and one photo of each person to a video-to-video AI model that takes reference images, and say who goes on the left and who on the right.
- Check that both faces changed in every shot, and run it again when one of them did not.
- Put the Hotel Lobby audio back under the video in an editor such as CapCut, then export it.
Photo tips for the Hotel Lobby AI video
- Both people get waist-up shots and a few turns of the head, so front-facing photos with the whole face visible work best.
- Hair, beards and glasses come from your photos; the outfits stay as in the clip.
