Video trend
The Bad Times trend is posted with cats as well as dogs, and people do it too. Oakgen's template starts from a dog dancing in a kitchen, but it keeps whatever species is in your photo. Here is how a cat, a small pet or a person goes through the same 20-second routine, and what changes in the photo you pick for each.
A cat stays a cat: its own face, whiskers, coat, markings and tail, standing upright on its hind legs for the whole routine and using its front paws for the head clutch, the paws-up, the hip pose and the stop push. Cats are smaller and rounder than the reference dog, and we have not reviewed how the close-up frames a cat, so check that stretch before sharing. A photo with the whole cat visible and the face in focus works best.
Rabbits, guinea pigs and other small pets keep their own species too, but their bodies are the furthest from a tall dog standing up. We have not reviewed results for small pets, so treat them as an experiment: try 480p first and decide from that run whether a higher quality is worth it.
A person takes the dancer's place and does the routine with hands and feet: hands pressed to the head, hands up, a hand on the hip, palms out, then the walk to the lens and the finger-pointing argument. The face, hair, build and outfit come from the photo. Use your own photo or one of someone who agreed to appear.
For pets, one animal, full body, face toward the camera and ears visible. For a person, a sharp front-facing photo with the whole head, ideally showing the outfit you want to wear. For everyone, even light and nobody else in the frame, because a second animal or person in the photo can end up in the video.
The kitchen, the camera, the poses and their timing, the walk up to the lens and "BAD TIMES" by Imael Angel on the soundtrack. The template has one role, so there is no version with two pets or a pet and its owner side by side.
The template tells the model to keep an animal's front paws as paws, never human hands, and a person's hands as hands. The close-up, where a paw swings toward the lens, is where to check it. If your result shows fingers on a pet, that is a generation error rather than something the photo controls.
Add a photo for the dancer.
Upload one clear photo of your pet, or of yourself or someone who agreed to appear. A full-body photo with the face, ears, legs and paws visible works best, and the face needs to be sharp for the close-up.
Choose 480p, 720p or 1080p and review the quote. It includes the full video, your photo preparation and three scene preparations.
Watch that the face, coat and markings stay your pet's when it leans into the lens and that its paws stay paws, then download your portrait MP4 with the original song.
One photo casts the dancer. A dog stays a dog and a cat stays a cat, with its own face, coat, markings and tail, standing upright on its hind legs. A person can take the role too and does the routine with hands and feet.
Paws pressed to the head, paws thrown up, a paw on the hip, the palms-out push, then the walk up to the lens and the close-up argument with a paw pointed at the camera.
All 20 seconds in one continuous take, timed to "BAD TIMES" by Imael Angel, from the first pose to the stare into the lens as the beat drops back in.
The preview is a recreation of the trend with a dog. It is the motion and timing reference, not an Oakgen result.
It is a 20-second portrait clip of a dog standing upright on its hind legs in a bright kitchen and dancing to "BAD TIMES" by Imael Angel: paws pressed to the head, paws thrown up, a paw on the hip, a palms-out push, then a walk right up to the camera to argue at close range, pointing a paw at the lens, before it steps back and leans in for a stare. Oakgen's template puts your pet, or you, in the dog's place and keeps the kitchen, the moves and the song.
After the song. Cats, dogs and people all post the routine as the Bad Times trend, and searches such as "bad times dog trend" and "bad times ai dance" show up as suggestions. Oakgen calls the template Bad Times Dance.
"BAD TIMES" by Imael Angel, identified from the audio. Your video keeps that original soundtrack. Nobody in the video sings or lip-syncs; the dancer only dances and gestures.
Yes. The template keeps the uploaded animal's species, coat and markings and has it stand upright on its hind legs for the whole routine. Bodies very different from a tall, long-legged dog vary more, and paws reaching toward the lens are the hardest moment, so review the video before sharing.
Yes. A person takes the dancer's place and does the same poses and the close-up argument with hands and feet, in the same kitchen. Use your own photo or one of someone who agreed to appear.
The first 20 seconds of the sound the trend uses: the beat under the poses, then the vocal hook from about 11 seconds while the dancer argues at close range, ending as the beat drops back in. Longer posts of the trend carry on with more of the routine; this template stops at that drop.
