To make the Storm AI video, open the Storm — Yung Lean trend on vswp, add one photo of yourself to the lead, and start. The crowd of boys in school uniforms, the camera and the song stay as in the original, and only the person in the middle becomes you. You don't film anything, you can try a free preview first, and the MP4 is usually ready in minutes.

What is the Storm trend?

It is the class photo scene from "Storm", the 2026 short film by GENER8ION with the Swedish rapper Yung Lean. Rows of boarding school boys in dark blazers and striped ties stand on the school steps as if for a class photo, then break into a tight routine that moves in waves around one young man. He stands still in the middle, in a white shirt with a loose tie, a cigarette between his lips, and stares into the camera.

In September 2026 the scene turned into an AI template: people put themselves and their friends in the lead's place. The appeal is the contrast. One calm face, and a whole school moving in sync around it.

What do you need?

  • One photo of the person who takes the lead. You, or a friend who agreed.
  • A Telegram account. vswp signs you in with Telegram, so there's no password to create.
  • A few minutes. The people in the trend are already found, so there is no upload and no waiting for a person search.

How do you make your own version?

  1. Open the trend. Go to the Storm — Yung Lean trend page.
  2. Sign in with Telegram.
  3. Look at the clip. It is 30 seconds long with one person to replace: the lead, Yung Lean's character. The crowd stays as in the film.
  4. Add your photo to the lead's card. Nobody else in the scene changes.
  5. Choose the look. With "Keep the original look" on, the white shirt and loose tie stay and only the face and hair change. With it off, the clothes come from your photo.
  6. Try the free preview. Press "Make the free preview" to see about 5 seconds of the clip with you in it, at 480p with a small "vswp.app" mark.
  7. Make the full video. If you like the preview, check the price and press "Create the full video", at 480p or 720p.
  8. Download the MP4. It keeps the original sound. On a phone, you can share it straight to Telegram or your stories.

Which photo works best for the lead?

The scene is a close-up, so your face fills much of the frame and every detail of the photo shows. A good photo:

  • Shows only you. One person, no friends at the edges.
  • Is sharp and evenly lit. Soft daylight suits the gray, cold scene. A dark selfie with a flash gives the AI less to work with.
  • Looks straight ahead. The lead faces the camera, so a front-facing photo matches best.
  • Has a calm face. He doesn't smile. A neutral expression fits the mood better than a big grin.
  • Keeps the face clear. No sunglasses, hands or hair over it.

Your hair comes along in both modes, so you don't need a buzz cut to play the part. If you want your own clothes in the scene, use a full-body photo and turn "Keep the original look" off. A portrait can't carry clothes it doesn't show, so with a face-only photo, leave the option on.

More tips are in which photos work best for an AI video swap.

What can go wrong, and how do you fix it?

This is generative AI, not frame-exact editing: it makes a new version of the clip, and some spots are harder than others.

  • The mouth area. The cigarette and the smoke cover part of the lead's lips, and things in front of a face are hard for any AI video. The lips can need another take.
  • Likeness. If the face doesn't look like you, try a sharper, brighter, front-facing photo before anything else. This guide goes through the usual causes.
  • A new take. Pressing "Create video" again makes a new render, and each take comes out a little different.

If a render fails or you cancel it, the Stars come back automatically.

Can you do the Storm trend with friends?

This clip has one person to replace, so a friend can't join you in the same video. The crowd stays as in the film. Instead, each friend can make their own Storm video from their own photo, and you can post them side by side.

If you put a friend in the lead, ask first, and ask again before you post it. Use only photos you have the right to use. More in face swap consent and safety.

How much does it cost?

Every new vswp user gets one free preview, so you can see your face in the scene before paying. The full video is paid in Telegram Stars (⭐), bought in the bot @vswpapp_bot. The price depends on the length, the quality and the number of people you replace, and the exact price is shown before you start. Details are in what's free on vswp.

Ready? Open the Storm trend, add your photo and start with the preview.
