"I built this brick by brick" is a speech given from the passenger seat of a car, and it has become a line people remake with AI: the same audio, the same two seats, different faces. Oakgen's Brick by Brick template is one of those remakes made reusable. You add a photo of the person who gives the speech and a photo of the person behind the wheel, and it makes a 14-second landscape clip that keeps the original voice. This page covers what the speech is, what the template copies and what it does not.
The speech is from the TV drama Snowfall (season 3, episode 9, "Blackout"), where one man tells his second-in-command, who is driving, that he built the business himself, brick by brick, and will not let him tear it down. The AI clips that spread online keep that audio and re-cast both men. Oakgen's template is unofficial, is not connected to the show or its makers, and contains no footage from it.
The original speech has strong swearing and a racial slur in it, and the template keeps the audio exactly as it is: it cannot bleep, cut or replace words. That is the main reason to think before you post it. On platforms with younger audiences, or anywhere you would not play that line out loud, choose a different template.
The beige vintage car, the sunny street outside the passenger window, the close two-shot for the first 12 seconds, the cut to a wide shot through the windshield, the timing of every gesture and the original voice. The speech always runs from about 0 to 10.7 seconds; the rest is a held stare and the wide shot.
Both people. The speaker in the passenger seat and the driver come from your two photos, with their own faces, hair, build and clothes. Neither man in the reference clip is kept: the motion guide turns both into grey silhouettes before your people are drawn in.
No single established name for the AI version was found when the template was added; people describe it by the line. Oakgen uses the two words everyone remembers, so the template is easy to search for and easy to say.
Open the Brick by Brick template, add the Speaker and Driver photos, choose 480p, 720p or 1080p and check the quote before generating. Watch the speaker's mouth through the speech before you share it, and label the clip as AI-made.
Add a photo for each role shown below. All roles need a photo.
Upload a clear photo of the person who gives the speech. A sharp face with the whole head visible works best, because the speaker faces the camera for the whole close shot. Everyone pictured should have agreed to appear.
Upload the driver's photo; a side or three-quarter face works, since the driver is seen mostly in profile. Choose 480p, 720p or 1080p and review the quote, which covers the full video and both preparations.
Watch the speaker's mouth through the speech, the driver's closed lips and both faces in the wide windshield shot at 12 seconds, then download your 16:9 MP4 with the original audio.
The Speaker talks for almost 11 seconds; the Driver keeps their eyes on the road and says nothing. Each takes the face, hair, build and outfit from their own photo, so you choose who lectures whom.
All 14 seconds in landscape: the close two-shot through the passenger window with the full speech, then the cut to a wide shot through the windshield of the beige car.
Your video keeps the clip's original voice and timing. You record nothing, and your photo does not change the voice. The audio is explicit: it has strong swearing and a racial slur, so it is not for every audience.
Friends, a boss and an employee, siblings or two characters you designed. The reference performers are replaced by grey silhouettes in the motion guide, so neither of them is reused.
It is a 14-second landscape AI video of a heated talk in the front seat of a beige vintage car. The passenger turns to the driver and delivers the "I built this brick by brick" speech, gesturing with both hands, while the driver keeps looking ahead; then the shot cuts to a wide view through the windshield. Oakgen's template puts your two people in both seats and keeps the car, the cut and the original audio.
The speech is from the TV drama Snowfall (season 3, episode 9, "Blackout"), where it is also said from the passenger seat of a car. The AI clips that spread online re-cast that audio with other faces. This is an unofficial fan-style template that is not connected to the show or its makers, and its picture is not original footage.
Yes. The original speech contains strong profanity and a racial slur, and your video keeps that audio unchanged. Think about where you post it and who will hear it. The template cannot remove or replace words.
No. The video keeps the clip's original voice and timing, whoever is in the photos. You do not record anything.
Yes. The Speaker and the Driver each need a photo, because the motion guide replaces both men from the reference with grey silhouettes, so neither of them is kept.
Only the Speaker, in the passenger seat. The Driver listens with closed lips, hands on the wheel, and only turns their head near the end. Put whoever should give the lecture in the Speaker slot.
Yes. There is no costume. Each person wears the outfit from their own photo instead of the reference's t-shirt and leather jacket.
Your own, or photos of people who agreed to be in the video. Do not upload photos of actors, celebrities or anyone who has not consented, and label AI videos clearly when you share them.
The speaker's mouth follows the timing of the reference performance, and the original audio is restored at the end. These are instructions to a model, so watch the close shot before posting and re-run if the lips clearly drift.
14 seconds in landscape 16:9: about 12 seconds of close two-shot with the speech, then the wide windshield shot.
No. It is the AI reference clip the trend comes from, used as the motion and timing reference, not an Oakgen result. Its two performers are never reused.
