To make the Somebody That I Used to Know AI trend, open the Gotye and Kimbra painted duet template, assign a portrait to each performer and create a video. The scene already contains the singing, geometric body paint and music. You supply faces and hairstyles; you do not need to film a performance or reproduce the makeup.
Prepare two portraits
Choose a recent, sharp photo of each person. Keep eyes, nose, lips, jaw and hair visible, with one face in the picture. JPEG, PNG and WebP work. Even light and a relaxed expression make the facial information easier to read; heavy filters and hair over the face hide useful details.
For the right role, check that the cheek and chin outline is clear: the performer turns into profile. For the left role, avoid a portrait where a hand, glasses glare or a prop hides the mouth. A front or slight three-quarter view is more informative than a distant full-body photo. See photo selection advice if you need to choose between pictures.
Assign the left and right roles
- Sign in to vswp with Telegram.
- Open the painted duet and choose “Try it”.
- Put the first portrait on the left performer's card and the second on the right performer's card.
- Check the assignments on the cards rather than relying on upload order.
- Leave a card empty if you want that original performer to stay.
This template keeps the original painted scene and visible shoulders. It uses the faces and hair from your pictures, not their jackets, tops, jewelry or backgrounds. You do not need to add paint to the portraits beforehand.
Preview, then choose the full video
New users receive one free preview of about five seconds at 480p with a small vswp.app mark. Use it to inspect likeness, the paint and the opening singing shots. A preview covers only part of the performance, so it cannot verify every later turn or expression.
For the full video, choose 480p or 720p and check the price before starting. Payment is in Telegram Stars. The result is a 20-second landscape MP4 with the original excerpt's audio. Choosing 720p gives a larger image; it does not guarantee better facial anatomy or remove every generative artifact.
Check the mouth and profile before sharing
Watch the full clip at normal speed, then pause where the left performer opens his mouth and where the right performer turns. Look for coherent teeth attached to the gums, paint staying on the skin and a jaw contour consistent with the portrait. A white floating fragment inside the mouth is a detail worth reviewing even when the overall likeness is good.
If the face drifts, try a clearer portrait with less obstruction. A new generation can also vary in quality, so review the new result rather than assuming it fixes every frame. Download the checked MP4 and share it with the people in the duet. Ask them before posting their faces publicly.
