How to Make Funny AI Videos of Your Friends (Ask First)
To make an AI video of your friends you need a clear photo of each (or one photo of the group’s two), a tool that animates faces from photos, and their yes. On Hotel Lobby Video (rapaivideo.net) two photos are enough: the default video puts you in the orange Hotel Lobby booth, one rapping into the hanging mic and one hyping, 12 seconds for 6 credits at 480p. There is no free preview.
The tool is the easy part; the joke is the idea. An inside joke turned into a rap, a roast with one bar each, a trend everyone in the group chat knows. Twelve ideas below, then the steps and the one rule that keeps friendships intact.

The steps
- Send the idea to your friend and get a yes in the chat. It is their face.
- Pick two sharp photos, one face each, looking toward the camera. One photo of you both works too: the left person raps, the right one hypes.
- Add them in the editor below. Keep the Hotel Lobby booth, or switch the sound to AI rap and type the joke.
- Check the credits on the button, create, and download the MP4. A failed render gives its credits back.
Your friend only hyped? Under the finished video, Hand the mic to the other one makes it again with the photos swapped, so they get their turn. It costs the same as a new video.

Photos that make the joke land
- Faces large, sharp and lit from the front. A face the model can read stays your friend for the whole clip.
- One person per photo, unless you mean to use one photo of you both.
- No sunglasses, no hands over faces, no filters.
- What they wear in the photo is what they wear in the video, so a ridiculous shirt helps.

Why these videos are funny right now

Clips by other creators. Press play to watch here; the player comes from the platform the clip was posted on.
The yes, and posting
- Ask before you make it and show them before you post. A joke inside the group can read differently to strangers.
- Under 18? A parent or guardian has to agree too, and TikTok does not allow AI content of minors at all.
- Nothing sexual, and nothing that makes them look like they said something real they never said.
- Turn on the AI label: TikTok, Instagram.
- Leave famous people out. Your friends are the point.
