Two photos, one elevator moment
This template recreates the I Love The Smiths elevator trend, a remake of the elevator moment from the 2009 film (500) Days of Summer. Two people stand side by side in a wood-panelled elevator. One listens to music on big headphones; the other turns, says they love The Smiths, says it again when the first one doesn't hear, sings a short line, and steps out when the doors open. Our reference is the AI version Instagram creator offdutyrich posted on 6 November 2026, and your two photos take the two places.
Left: headphones. Photo 1 is the listener on the left. They wear the headphones, pull them down to hear, ask "You like the Smiths?", and stay alone in the elevator at the end.
Right: the one who sings. Photo 2 is on the right. They turn, say the line, sing, and walk out past the camera when the doors open.
Good photos. Two separate photos, one adult in each, face and hair clearly visible and front-facing, in good light. A waist-up photo works best, since each person wears the outfit in their photo. Only upload photos of people who have agreed to appear.
Both photos are required. The elevator, the headphones, the dialogue, the moves and the timing come from the trend clip; each photo supplies one person's face, hair and clothes. Vellm is not affiliated with The Smiths, the makers of (500) Days of Summer, offdutyrich or Instagram.

What happens in the I Love The Smiths clip
A two-shot close-up in an elevator for 20 seconds, then one cut to a wide shot as the doors open. Your two photos take the two places; the timing stays the same.
0–4 s Headphones on
The left person listens on big headphones while the right one turns and says they love The Smiths; the left one lifts an earcup and asks what they said.
4–12 s I love The Smiths
The headphones come down around the neck, the right one says it again, and the left one asks "You like the Smiths?"
12–20 s The sung line
The right one sings a short line, eyes half closed; the left one smiles and glances over.
20–24 s Doors open
Cut to a wide shot of the elevator: the doors open, the right one walks out past the camera, and the left one, alone, says one last short line.
Two photos, one I Love The Smiths elevator video
Two photos of made-up adults became this video with I Love The Smiths AI: one pulls off the headphones and asks "You like the Smiths?", the other sings and steps out when the doors open.

Before you generate
What is the I Love The Smiths trend?
Short AI clips that remake the elevator moment from (500) Days of Summer: one person listens on headphones, the other says they love The Smiths, repeats it, sings a short line and steps out when the doors open. A wave of versions with different pairs appeared on Instagram in November 2026. Vellm is not affiliated with The Smiths, the makers of (500) Days of Summer, offdutyrich or Instagram.
How many photos do I need?
Two photos, one person in each. Photo 1 is the listener with headphones on the left; Photo 2 is the one on the right who says the line, sings and steps out. Both are required.
Whose face and clothes are in the video?
Your own. Each photo supplies one person's face, hair and clothes; the listener on the left also wears the clip's black headphones.
Who are the people in the example video?
Nobody real. Vellm made the example on this page with this template from two photos of made-up adults, shown next to the video. It is our own example, not a customer's video, and results vary between generations.
Can I post it with music?
Vellm does not sell or license music. Download the video silent and add a sound in your posting app if it is available for your use. The version with the original clip's sound is for personal viewing only.
How long is the video, and in what format?
24 seconds, 16:9 horizontal, with a 1080p enhanced export. Download it silent, or with the original clip's sound for personal viewing.
How much does one I Love The Smiths video cost?
100 credits. The smallest one-time pack that covers it is 100 credits for USD 9.99. No subscription is needed.
Can I download it with sound?
Yes. Every video comes in two versions: silent, best for posting (add the trending sound in TikTok or Reels), and with the original clip's sound, for personal viewing. The sound isn't licensed for public posts.
Will it match the reference?
The example on this page was made by Vellm from the two photos shown, and your photos take the same two places. Check that each person keeps their own face and hair in the close-ups and in the wide shot at the end, and that the two never swap places; AI can mix up looks when two people resemble each other. A new generation uses another 100 credits and may look different.
What if generation fails?
A failed generation returns the credits it used. This is a credit return, not a cash refund. For a completed result or billing issue, contact support. See the service terms for details.
Will my video have a watermark?
No. Your downloaded video has no watermark.
How long does generation take?
Most videos are ready in about 7 minutes; allow about 10–15 minutes when the service is busy. We email you when your video is ready.
Do I need an account?
No account is needed for a one-time purchase. Use your checkout email to recover your creations. If you create a video while signed in, use the same account to view it.
What if I don’t like the result?
AI results vary, and a new generation uses credits. If you run into a technical problem, email support@vellm.app.
Can I get a refund?
You can request a refund for a one-time credit pack within 7 days of purchase if none of its credits have been used. Email support@vellm.app. See our terms for details and your consumer rights.
How long do you keep my photos and videos?
Photos and videos, including the version with sound, are scheduled for deletion after 7 days. Download your video before it expires. See our Privacy Policy for details.
