01What you choose and what stays fixed
You choose one thing: who stands at the window. Everything else comes from the reference reel and does not change, including the shop interior, the tiramisu tray and ladyfinger biscuits, the seller’s hands and cake server, the gold “Kuruluş 1958” lettering, the street outside, the handheld camera move and the order of gestures. You cannot swap the dessert, add a second customer or change the location. If you want a different food or shop, this template is the wrong starting point.
02Step 1: upload the customer
Open Tiramisu Dog and add one photo to the Window customer slot. A dog is the natural fit because the reference customer is a golden retriever, but the slot also accepts a cat or another pet, or a person. The template keeps species: a dog stays that dog, a cat stays a cat with its own coat and markings, and a person stays a person. Use a clear, well-lit photo of a single animal or person. The pet photo guide covers which shots work best.
03Step 2: choose quality and review the price
Choose 480p, 720p or 1080p. The studio shows the price for your choice before anything is generated, and that quote covers preparing your photo and the scene as well as the video itself. Nothing is charged until you confirm. Higher resolution is a sensible choice for a pet with fine coat detail or markings, since those details carry the likeness.
04Step 3: what comes back
The result is a single portrait 9:16 video of about 18 seconds, the full length of the reference, with no cuts. It keeps the original sound from the source: street ambience plus the scrape of the cake server and the rustle of the box paper. There is no speech, barking or song, so nothing needs translating or re-recording. If you want music, add it in your editor and make sure you have the rights to it.
05Step 4: check the order before sharing
Watch the result once at full speed and once frame by frame around the gestures. Check that the customer’s face stays serious, that paws or hands stay on the window side of the glass, that the cake server and the slice stay one server and one slice, and that the bib, if your pet gets one, carries no lettering. The paw gesture breakdown lists where each of these moments falls.
06Why it works as a short
The humour is restraint. Nothing loud happens: a customer who takes a dessert purchase far too seriously supervises a careful cut, signs approval and visibly despairs at the packaging. That reads instantly on a phone with the sound off, which suits feeds where many people scroll muted. A pet already known to your followers for a serious expression is the strongest casting, but that is an editorial suggestion, not a tested result.
