Video trend
In the Bad Times dog clip a dog stands up on its hind legs in a bright kitchen, runs through a few poses with its front paws, then walks right up to the camera and argues with it while "BAD TIMES" by Imael Angel plays. Oakgen's template swaps that dog for yours from a single photo. This page is about that photo: what it changes, what it cannot change and how to pick one that survives the close-up.
For 20 seconds the dog stays upright on its hind legs. It presses its paws to the sides of its head, throws them up beside its face, turns side-on with one paw on its head and one on its hip, pushes both paws out palms-first like a stop sign, then strides to the lens and argues at close range, pointing a paw at the camera. It steps back for a moment and leans in again for a stare to finish.
The breed, face, eyes, ears, coat colours, markings, tail and build. A golden retriever stays golden with soft ears, a pug keeps its flat face, a spotted dog keeps its spots. The reference dog's black-and-brindle coat, tall pointed ears and long shepherd muzzle are removed unless your dog has them.
The kitchen with its cream cabinets, wooden worktop and tall fridge, the camera position, every pose and its timing, the walk to the lens and the original song. There is no costume: your dog appears as the photo shows it, without a collar or clothes being added.
One dog, the whole body in frame, the face toward the camera and both ears visible, in even light. A standing or sitting photo shows the legs and chest the dance depends on. A dog lying curled up, cropped at the neck or half hidden behind a person leaves the AI guessing about the body.
From about 11 to 18 seconds the face fills most of the frame and a front paw swings toward the lens. A blurry or far-away photo leaves the eyes, nose and fur texture to guesswork exactly when they are biggest on screen. A sharp photo with the face in focus matters more here than in a full-body dance seen from afar.
The reference dog is tall and long-legged, so short-legged breeds and very large dogs have to stretch further from the source. The template asks for your dog's own proportions; we expect those bodies to vary more between runs, but that is an expectation, not a tested result. We have not published reviewed results for particular breeds, so review the video before sharing.
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.
Your own pet, yourself, or a person who agreed to be in the video. Do not upload photos of celebrities, public figures or anyone who has not consented, and label AI videos clearly when you share them.
