Make a STORM II crowd dance video with AI — you lead, a friend is the whole crowd
The STORM II AI trend recasts the STORM II crowd dance scene from GENER8ION and Yung Lean's STORM: one lead at the center, a whole crowd in suits and blazers moving as one around them, and a camera that pulls back to reveal the full formation. Upload two photos — one face for the lead, one face for every dancer in the crowd — and the STORM II crowd dance AI generator recasts the entire scene. No dance crew, no reference clip, no prompt.
Who leads, and who is the crowd?
One photo sets the lead, the other becomes every face on the steps behind them. These are the pairings people pick most for the STORM II AI trend.
You lead, your best friend is everyone else
The classic STORM II crowd dance AI video: you up front, calm and unbothered, while row after row of your best friend fills the steps behind you — then the whole crowd breaks into the dance. Swap the photos and do it the other way round.
A crowd in matching masks
Upload a photo of a mask as the crowd photo and every dancer on the steps wears it. A sea of identical smiling masks moving in sync is the most unsettling — and most replayable — take on the STORM II crowd dance.
A crowd with your dog's face
Put your dog's face on the crowd and dozens of suited golden retrievers stare down from the steps before they all start dancing. Absurd, and exactly what the STORM II AI dance trend is for.
Your dad and an army of dads
Use the same photo for both slots and your dad leads a crowd of himself. The more serious he looks, the better the clone army lands.
How to make a STORM II crowd dance AI video
The moves, the formation, the outfits and the camera come from the built-in STORM II crowd dance scene. You supply two faces.
Upload the lead and the crowd
The first photo becomes the lead at the center; the second becomes the face of every dancer in the crowd. Use a sharp, well-lit, front-facing photo with one face in each.
Set the resolution
The model (Wan 3.0), the 15-second shot and the 16:9 widescreen frame are fixed. A clip costs 225 credits at 480p, 375 at 720p and 675 at 1080p. Go higher if the crowd face is the joke: the back rows are tiny, and 1080p keeps them readable.
Generate, download and post
A 480p clip is ready in about 5 minutes; 720p and 1080p take closer to 15. The clip comes with sound generated alongside the video, not the STORM II track itself, so pick the original song from the TikTok or Instagram sound library if you want it under the crowd.
The STORM II crowd dance, shot by shot
It's one continuous 15-second take that goes from one face to a hundred. Here is what happens in each part of the shot, and where your two photos show up.
0–2s · Close-up on the lead
The clip opens tight on the lead, cigarette in hand, staring straight into the lens while rows of identical faces stand motionless behind. It's the only close shot, so this is where the first photo shows most.
3s · The turn away
The lead breaks eye contact and turns aside. The crowd doesn't react at all, and that frozen stillness behind is what makes the opening feel uneasy.
4–8s · Walking into the crowd
Seen from behind in a white shirt and tie, the lead walks into the front row. Every navy blazer and striped tie stays as in the original; only the faces change to your second photo.
8–11s · The pull-back
The camera starts backing away and the crowd keeps growing: row after row up a flight of outdoor steps, dozens of copies of the same face.
12–15s · Everyone moves at once
In the final wide shot the whole formation leans, sweeps and turns in sync around the lead. With a mask, a pet or your dad as the crowd photo, this is the frame people replay.
Two photos, widescreen 16:9
One photo for the lead, one copied onto every dancer down to the half-hidden back rows. The clip comes out 15 seconds at 16:9, the landscape frame of the film, because the formation needs the width.
STORM II crowd dance AI FAQ
What the STORM II AI trend is, where the STORM II crowd dance comes from, and how to make your own STORM II AI video.
It is a short-video trend that recreates the crowd-dance scene from GENER8ION and Yung Lean's STORM with new faces. One person leads at the center while a large crowd in suits and blazers moves around them in perfect sync, and the camera pulls back to reveal the whole formation. A STORM II crowd dance AI video puts your face on the lead and a second face — often a friend's — on every dancer in the crowd.
The trend is all about contrast: one person stays still and composed at the center while a huge, identical crowd moves around them as one. Online, doing the STORM II crowd dance means recreating that setup — you as the lead, and someone else's face multiplied across the entire crowd. The funnier or more unexpected the crowd face, the better the clip lands.
STORM is a 2026 music film by GENER8ION — the project of French producer Surkin — and Swedish rapper Yung Lean, directed by Romain Gavras with choreography by Damien Jalet. Its music is split into two parts, STORM I and STORM II. The STORM II section is the one with the crowd moving like a single organism around Yung Lean, and it's the scene the STORM II crowd dance AI trend copies.
No. The crowd in the original is a real cast of dancers performing Damien Jalet's choreography, filmed by Romain Gavras. It looks so precise that many people ask whether it's AI, which is part of why the STORM II AI crowd dance trend took off: AI lets you recast a scene that took a whole crew to film.
Upload two photos — one for the lead, one for the crowd — pick the quality and generate. The moves, the formation, the outfits, the camera and the clip length are built in, so there's no dance to learn and nothing to film. When it's ready, download the clip and post it.
Two. The first photo is the lead's face; the second is copied onto every dancer in the crowd. That second face is what makes the result funny — a whole formation of your friend, your mum or your dog dancing around you. Use the same photo twice if you want a crowd of your own clones.
No. Some STORM II crowd dance AI workflows ask you to find a crowd-dance clip and paste a long motion-transfer prompt that assigns the lead and the crowd. Here the scene and that prompt are already set up — your two photos are the whole input.
No. Your photos only supply faces. Everyone keeps the outfit, body, hairstyle styling and position of the dancer they replace, so the suits, the formation and the moves stay exactly like the original scene.
One face per photo, sharp and well lit, looking at the camera — no sunglasses or hair across the face. The crowd is small in the wide shots, so a clear, front-facing face matters more than the outfit or background.
Yes. Use a clear photo of your dog, cat or any other pet as the lead or as the crowd — a whole formation of suited pets dancing around you is the most absurd take on the STORM II AI dance trend. Pick a photo where the animal faces the camera.
Yes. Put one partner in the lead photo and the other in the crowd photo, and you lead an entire formation of your partner. Then swap the photos and post both versions side by side.
Not the original track. The model makes its own sound for the 15-second clip, so it isn't silent. If you want GENER8ION and Yung Lean's STORM II under it, pick the song from the TikTok or Reels sound library when you upload.
Yes. "STORM 2", "STORM II", "STORM II AI video", "STORM II AI dance" and "STORM II crowd dance AI" all refer to the same STORM II trend and the same scene.
You can try it without paying: new accounts get signup credits, and daily check-ins top them up. After that each 15-second crowd clip costs 225 credits at 480p, 375 at 720p or 675 at 1080p, and the exact amount is on the button before you generate.
No. The trend borrows the STORM II scene, not Yung Lean. Only upload photos of yourself or of people who have agreed, like a friend who's happy to be the crowd, and don't pass the clip off as real footage of anyone.
Most of the time the photo is the cause: an angled or partly covered face, low light, a heavy filter, or more than one person in the shot. Use a sharp, front-facing photo with only your face in it and generate again. The lead is shown in close-up, so it usually keeps the most detail of any face in the clip.
Dancers in the back rows, turning away or blurred by motion are only a few pixels wide, so their faces carry less detail. A sharper, front-facing crowd photo helps; small differences in the far background are normal.
