In the cowboy fish cutting clip the cook always wears a black cowboy hat and a plain black short-sleeve shirt. In Oakgen's template those two items are part of the costume, while everything else about the person comes from your photo. This page explains what that means for the photo you choose and how to check the hat, hair and face in the result.
The black cowboy hat and the black shirt are what make the clip recognisable, so the template keeps them. The cook wears them over your own hair and on your own build. The shirt has no print, lettering or logo, and none should appear on yours.
Your face, skin tone, hairline, hair colour, hair length and facial hair. The cook in the reference clip is a large man, but the person in your video is yours: nothing of the reference cook's face or hair is kept, and neither is his silver bracelet.
One person, head and shoulders, face forward, in even light, with the hair fully visible. Avoid sunglasses, masks, heavy filters and group photos. Because the cook stands behind a counter for the whole clip, a close, sharp face matters more than a full-body shot.
If your photo already shows a hat or cap, the model has two hats to reconcile and the shape of the template's hat can drift. A photo without headwear gives the hat room to sit over your real hair. If you always wear a hat, expect the hat in the result to be the template's black cowboy hat, not yours.
Long hair should fall beside the face under the hat brim, a beard should stay as in the photo, and a bald head stays bald under the hat. Check the first and last second of the clip, where a face is most likely to drift toward the reference cook.
The hat should be black and the same in every frame, the shirt plain and black, the face recognisably yours and calm throughout, and no extra jewellery that is not in your photo. If the hat changes shape or colour, or text appears on the shirt, generate again before posting.
Add a photo for each role shown below. All roles need a photo.
Use one clear head-and-shoulders photo, face forward, hair fully visible and no hat. A pet photo works too: the animal stands behind the counter with its own face and markings.

Watch the hand on the fish and the cleaver on every chop, and that the face stays calm. Download the 16:9 MP4 with the chop sounds.
A single head-and-shoulders photo casts the cook. Your face, hair and skin tone replace the reference cook's, and the pose, the swing and the deadpan stare stay.
The black cowboy hat and the plain black shirt are part of the joke, so the cook wears them over your own hair. There is no print, lettering or logo on the shirt, and the reference cook's bracelet is not kept.
The cleaver lifts and comes straight down again and again from behind the head toward the tail, and the fish stays on the counter in its original shape with clean straight cut lines. The kitchen, the counter and the camera do not move.
Your video keeps the clip's own sound, put back at the end of the run. The chops follow the original rhythm, so check that each one lands near its sound. The clip has no music and no speech.
It is a 10-second landscape clip shot from across a modern kitchen: a big cook in a black cowboy hat stands behind a white counter, holds a giant silver fish steady with one hand and brings a huge cleaver straight down through it again and again, in neat, even cuts. His face never changes. Oakgen's template puts the person or pet from your photo behind the counter and keeps the kitchen, the fish, the swing and the timing.
Yes. The same clip is shared as the precise entries meme, because traders caption it as a joke about entering a trade at exactly the right price: the cleaver lands exactly where it should every time. It is also called cowboy fish cutting, giant fish cutting, the fish chopping trend and the fish cutting meme. Oakgen has one template for all of them, under the name Fish Cutting Meme.
It is the same kitchen, fish and cleaver. "POV: Grandpa said he'd handle dinner" is a caption people put on versions of the clip, with a grandfather, a daughter or a friend behind the counter. Here you cast one person or pet from your own photo, so you can use any of those captions on your video.
No. The black cowboy hat and the plain black shirt belong to the template and the cook wears them over your own hair. For the best likeness upload a photo without a hat, with your hair and face fully visible.
No. The clip has chop sounds and nothing else: no music and no speech. Your video keeps those original sounds, and the chops follow the original rhythm.
Yes. Choose one clear photo that shows the animal's face and markings. The animal stands upright behind the counter, keeps its own fur and eyes, and works the fish and the cleaver with two human-shaped hands. Paws and hands in fast chops can look odd, so review the result before you post it.
That is the aim. The fish should stay on the counter in its original shape, silver outside and pale inside, with clean straight cut lines, no blood, no spill and no pieces flying apart. If a run breaks the fish, generate again.
No. The preview is the reference clip the template follows, not a video made from your photo. Your video has your face or your pet in the cook's place.
10 seconds in 16:9 landscape, one continuous take from the first raised cleaver to the cleaver laid down by the tail.
No. It is a joke clip and the chops land very close to the hand holding the fish. Do not try the near-miss chopping with a real knife. Label the video as AI-made when you post it.
