Vertical 9:16
Built for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. The shot starts wide on the steps with you standing dead center, and waves roll out through the crowd on either side of you.
Storm II AI: everyone moves as one, you do not move at all
One photo puts you at the dead center of the Yung Lean Storm scene: you hold completely still on stone steps as dozens in matching blazers drop, lift and sweep past in lockstep. Vertical for the feed, or wide the way the film framed it.
Short answer: One photo is all DanceRemake needs for the Storm II AI crowd dance: you hold still at the center of wide stone school steps while dozens in matching navy blazers drop, lift and sweep around you on the beat. Choose 9:16 or 16:9, sign in with Google, and within a few minutes you can download a clean 15-second MP4, music included and no watermark on it. One video uses 10 credits ($9.99 bought on its own); nothing is generated for free.

The trend
Where the Storm II AI trend comes from
Behind the trend sits STORM, a 2026 short film made for GENER8ION with Yung Lean in it. Romain Gavras directed it and Damien Jalet built the choreography. One shot gets quoted more than the rest: a school photo lined up on stone steps, where dozens of boys in uniform suddenly move as a single body while one figure at the center never moves at all. September 2026 is when people started rebuilding that shot with AI, casting themselves or a friend as the motionless one. It goes around as the Yung Lean Storm AI trend too.
What this dance gives you is a fresh 15-second take on the same idea: you planted in the middle, perfectly still, surrounded by adults in navy blazers who move around you, under an original electronic beat. Choose 9:16 if it is headed for TikTok or Reels, or 16:9 to match the film, which starts on a close-up of your face before the crowd kicks in. No celebrity appears and no song is used; the video is newly generated AI footage, not the film. DanceRemake is not connected to Yung Lean, GENER8ION or anyone who made the film.
Stillness is the gag. The whole crowd behaves like one organism and you do absolutely nothing, which somehow makes you the center of the frame. So people cast themselves in it, or the friend whose face never changes, or their manager.

Yung Lean and GENER8ION play the film's closing scene live on the MTV VMAs stage.
- Oct 21, 2026

Two ways
Storm II AI: 2 ways to cast it
Choose one in the maker above. Each option is one video, 10 credits.
Wide 16:9
The film's framing. It starts close on your face with rows of dancers behind you, you step into the crowd as the camera backs away, and the steps fill with movement around you.
Photo tips
Photos that work for Storm II AI
Head to toe beats a crop
The wide shots show your whole outfit, so a standing photo from head to shoes helps.
Keep the face calm
The camera sits on you looking into the lens, so a flat expression suits it better than a big smile.
Wear something light
Everyone around you is in navy, so a pale or bright outfit makes you pop in the middle.
How-to
How to make your Storm II AI video
- 01
Send one photo
One adult with the face in clear view. Head to toe keeps your outfit.
- 02
Choose the shape
Go vertical 9:16 for the feed, or wide 16:9 like the movie, which opens tight on you.
- 03
Grab the file
In a few minutes the 15-second MP4 lands in My videos. If you want the Storm II track on it, add that from TikTok's library.
Before you pay
Does Storm II AI cost anything?
Yes. Each clip is rendered fresh on paid AI models, so there is no free tier. One video takes 10 credits ($9.99 for a single one, less per video in bigger packs), and the MP4 you download carries no watermark.
DanceRemake is an unofficial fan-made tool with no tie to GENER8ION, to Yung Lean, or to Romain Gavras and Damien Jalet. What you download is newly generated AI footage with an original beat, not the film and not its song.
Both examples here play without an account. Signing in with Google comes later, when it is your turn to make one.
Refunds: a render that fails returns its credits on its own, and if you bought a credit pack by mistake and never spent it, you can get your money back within 14 days.
FAQ
Storm II AI FAQ
Do I need to dance?
No, and that is the joke: you are the one person holding completely still while the crowd works around you.
Is the Storm II song or the film in it?
Neither. You get newly generated AI footage with an original electronic beat. If you want the Storm II audio on top, add it from TikTok's library once you post.
Vertical or wide?
Both, and the cost is identical: pick 9:16 for the vertical feeds, TikTok, Reels and Shorts, or 16:9 to match the film, where the shot starts tight on your face and pulls out as the crowd begins.
What length do I get?
Fifteen seconds, either 9:16 or 16:9, and the shape makes no difference to the cost.
Can people tell which one is me?
Easily. You are the only motionless figure, you are in the middle, and you are in your own clothes while everybody around you wears a navy blazer and keeps moving.
Was the original STORM made with AI?
No. STORM is a real short film with real dancers, from director Romain Gavras and choreographer Damien Jalet. AI only came later, when people started redoing its school-steps scene.
Where does the name Storm II come from?
The song arrived in two parts, Storm I and then Storm II, sharing one film. People post the scene with the second part, so the AI versions carry that name.
