Hotel Lobby Trend With Your Dog or Cat: Steps and Our Test
To do the Hotel Lobby trend with your dog or cat, add one clear photo of your pet and one of its partner (you, or a second pet) and keep the Hotel Lobby stage. Hotel Lobby Video (rapaivideo.net) puts the pair in the orange booth with the hanging mic: the left photo raps, the right one hypes, 12 seconds for 6 credits at 480p with the original song. There is no free preview.
Pets are the most common twist on the trend, and the photo matters more than anything else. Our own test with a woman and a corgi is below, and so is what we have not tested yet.

Our test: a woman and a corgi
On 6 October 2026 we rendered two AI-made photos, a woman and a corgi, through the same Wan 3.0 pipeline the site uses: 480p, 10 seconds, 9:16, with the Hotel Lobby track. The corgi stood on its hind legs, kept its own fur and markings, and moved with the beat next to her.
Wan 3.0 · 480p · 10 s · 9:16
- Product test render, made outside the website with our generation pipeline.
- Audio: Hotel Lobby template track.
- Web preview: 480 × 854, compressed for playback. The settings above describe the original render.
That is one render of one dog. It does not promise how another breed, a cat or two pets together will turn out.

The steps
- Photograph your pet in daylight, face toward the camera, eyes open, whole body in frame if you can. One animal per photo.
- Add a photo of the partner: you, or another pet. Only have one picture of you both? Switch to One photo.
- Decide who raps: the left photo takes the mic. Put the pet on the left to make it the star.
- Keep the Hotel Lobby stage, pick 9:16 under Video settings for TikTok and Reels, and create. Try 3 credits for 5 seconds first if you are unsure about the photo.
After a video is ready, Hand the mic to the other one remakes it with the sides swapped, priced like a new video.
Photos that work for pets
- A sharp face toward the camera. A pet turned away leaves the model guessing.
- Anything the pet wears is copied, so a bandana or a sweater shows up in the booth.
- Front light. A backlit dark coat turns into a silhouette and loses its markings.
- The pet alone in its photo; a person or a second animal in the frame can appear as an extra.
- No filters or cartoon versions: the video starts from what the photo shows.
Cats, two dogs, and what is untested
| Pairing | Set up | Tested here? |
|---|---|---|
| Dog and owner | One photo each, or One photo with both | Yes, once (the corgi above) |
| Two dogs | One photo each | No |
| A cat and a dog, or two cats | One photo each | No |
Cats are popular in the trend elsewhere. This cat version was made by another creator with another tool, so it shows the idea, not our result:
