Tiny Desk AI videos from one photo
This example started from a single photo. That photo became the lead singer, and it appears in both close-ups. AI filled the sax, keys and backing singer seats with new musicians.
A one-photo video is the quickest way to try the format. You sing lead, and the band builds itself around you.
Tiny Desk AI videos from five photos
This example used five photos, one for each seat. Photo 1 is the lead singer, photo 2 plays the sax, photo 3 plays the keyboard, and photos 4 and 5 sing backup.
Each face, hairstyle and outfit carries into the wide shots. Screen time can vary, so the backing singers may appear in fewer frames than the lead.
Photo 1: lead singer
Photo 2: sax player
Photo 3: keyboard player
Photo 4: backing singer
Photo 5: backing singer
