About the Zoolander Stare trend

The Zoolander stare is a meme from the 2001 comedy: someone turns to the paparazzi and locks into an intense, unblinking stare, then a rival on the red carpet gives their own look back. The AI version of it took off on TikTok with objects and characters in the main roles. The template keeps the four slow shots, the red carpet crowd, the timing and the original sound, and swaps both stars for the people in your photos.

Pick 480p for 75 credits or 720p for 260 credits per video at the default length, and a 15s video costs a little more. If generation fails, the credits are returned automatically.

Use one clear photo per person, face looking at the camera. Photo 1 is the one who stares, photo 2 is the rival. A straight, serious expression suits the meme best.

Your own photo, or a photo of someone who has agreed to appear in the video. Do not upload photos of public figures or of anyone under 18.
