How many photos does a celebrity AI template need? One per role in the scene. On Oakgen that means one photo for a solo template like the One More Thing Manager, two for a duet like the Jensen Huang Worth It ukulele song, and three for a trio like the Kardashian Jenner dance or the Neymar Studio Hit. Every role is required, because each template replaces every celebrity look-alike with the people in your photos. Nothing of the look-alike is kept.
What does stay from the clip is everything that is not a person's identity: the moves, the camera, the cuts, the setting and the soundtrack. The table below puts all ten of Oakgen's current celebrity parody templates side by side, so you can pick by the number of friends you have on hand.
Start with one photo
The calm manager needs only you. Check the credit quote, then generate.
The comparison table

The length of the Jensen Huang ukulele template is rounded from the source clip. The final length is set to whole seconds when the template goes live, so check the template page. Every template page shows the credit quote before you generate.
What each template keeps, and what comes from your photos
The rule is the same across all ten.
| From the parody clip | From your photos |
|---|---|
| The choreography and every gesture | Each person's face |
| The camera moves and cuts | Hair and hairstyle |
| The setting: field, stadium, store, studio, car | Build and body shape |
| The soundtrack, put back on after generation | The outfit each person is wearing |
| Generic AI extras in the background | Accessories you are wearing in the photo |
Three consequences are worth knowing before you pick photos.
You do not wear the costume. The Steve Jobs look-alike's black mock-neck and glasses, the Jensen Huang look-alike's leather jacket and the Neymar look-alike's bare chest are not copied. If you want the costume, wear it in your photo.
Brands stay blurry on purpose. Sponsor walls, club shirts and stadium marks in these clips are asked to stay unreadable in your version. Do not add a real logo back in your caption or edit as if a club or brand approved it.
The song is not yours to license. The soundtrack goes back on after generation and is never sent to the model. That includes a commercial song like "Worth It" in the ukulele template. Oakgen does not license music for your posts, so check the platform's music rules when you share.
Got a friend? Do a duet
Two photos: you sing, a friend plays the ukulele. The store and the song stay.
Why one photo per person, not several
Some AI video platforms ask for more. When Korea JoongAng Daily tested a K-pop dance parody template on another platform, "each face swap required two photos, four in total" for a single member's role (Korea JoongAng Daily, November 6, 2026).
Oakgen's celebrity parody templates take one photo per role. In practice, the quality of that one photo matters more than the count. What works:
- One person per photo. Crop out friends in the background.
- Head and shoulders, face forward. A three-quarter angle is fine; a profile is not.
- Hair fully visible, no hat or sunglasses. The model copies what it can see.
- Even light. Window light beats a ring light reflection in glasses.
- The outfit you want on screen. It is copied into every shot.
If you are casting a trio, use three photos taken in similar light, so the three dancers look like they share the same field.
How to pick by situation
You are on your own. Go solo: the One More Thing Manager or the Elon Musk Mourinho template if you want an interview gag, the missed train dance if you want something short and vertical. The calm manager format is unpacked in the calm manager AI parody format.
You have one friend who agreed. A duet: the Jensen Huang Worth It song if one of you wants to sing, the Ronaldo header if one of you wants to jump. Our AI singing video trend guide helps you decide who sings.
You have a group chat. A trio: the Kardashian Jenner dance for sisters or best friends, the No Scrubs dance for a studio look, the Neymar Studio Hit for a recording session with two friends watching. Our AI group dance video guide covers who to put in the centre.
Cast the trio
Three photos: the centre dancer gets the close-up. The beat goes back on at the end.
Common mistakes
- Uploading a celebrity's photo. Oakgen's Acceptable Use Policy says Oakgen does not offer face-swap services and that you may not substitute one real person's face or identity onto another. Use your own face and those of friends who said yes.
- Using a group photo for one role. The model may pick the wrong face.
- Mixing a selfie and a studio portrait in a trio. The lighting mismatch shows in the wide shots.
- Forgetting the label. TikTok requires a label on realistic AI content (TikTok Support, read November 15, 2026) and YouTube requires disclosure when realistic content makes a real person appear to do something they did not (YouTube Help, read November 15, 2026). Your face in a dance you never danced counts.
How we put this together
On November 15, 2026 we read the role settings of every celebrity parody template on Oakgen and reviewed the four new source clips frame by frame. The Korea JoongAng Daily report and the TikTok and YouTube pages were read the same day. We did not generate videos for this article. Disclosure: Oakgen is our product.

FAQ
Which celebrity AI template needs only one photo?
The One More Thing Manager, the Elon Musk Mourinho calm manager, the Jensen Huang missed train dance and the Jensen Huang aircraft carrier dance each need one photo.
Which templates need three photos?
The Kardashian Jenner dance, the Jensen Huang No Scrubs dance and the Neymar Studio Hit. Each has three people in the scene, and every one of them comes from a photo.
Can I leave one role empty?
No. In these templates every lead role is required, because the template replaces each celebrity look-alike completely. Leaving a role empty would leave a look-alike in your video.
Do I need several photos of the same person?
No. Oakgen's celebrity parody templates take one photo per role. Pick a clear, front-facing head-and-shoulders photo with the hair visible and no hat or sunglasses.
Does my outfit stay?
Yes. Each person keeps the face, hair, build and outfit from their own photo. The look-alike's costume, such as a leather jacket or a black turtleneck, is not copied.
Does the soundtrack stay?
Yes. Each template puts the clip's own soundtrack back on after generation. The audio is never sent to the video model, and Oakgen does not license the music for your posts.
Can I use a pet instead of a person?
Some templates accept a clear photo of a dog or cat, for example the Jensen Huang car dance. Check the FAQ on each template page before you try.
Pick a template by photo count
One, two or three photos. Every look-alike becomes someone from your photos.
