Anyone can be the prankster
The reference prankster is a golden retriever walking upright, but your photo decides: your own dog, a cat, a friend or a character. An animal keeps its species, face, coat and tail; a person stays a person.

How to make it
Add a photo for each role shown below. All roles need a photo.
- 01
Add two photos
Upload the prankster and the victim, one subject per photo: a pet, yourself, a character or someone who agreed to appear. Full-body photos with the face, legs and paws or hands visible work best.
- 02
Review quality and price
Choose 480p, 720p or 1080p and review the quote. It includes both photo preparations and the full video.
- 03
Check the kick and the ending
Watch that paws stay paws when the prankster presses the button and throws the sneakers, that the two never swap at the kick, and that the close pass at the end keeps the prankster's face, then download your portrait MP4.
Anyone can be the victim
The victim gets smacked, pulls off a pair of white sneakers at the lift, is kicked in and ends up sitting on the lift floor. Put yourself, a friend or a second pet in that role. The white sneakers are the one prop the template adds.
The real lobby, the same timing
The marble lobby, the walnut panels and the gold lift stay as they are. The template follows the reference beat for beat in one continuous 17-second handheld take, with the original spoken lines and hit sounds.
The reference, not a result
The preview is the AI reference clip the trend comes from, with its watermark removed. It shows the motion and timing your video follows, not an Oakgen result.

Questions & answers
What is the Dog Elevator Prank trend?
It is a 17-second portrait AI clip: a golden retriever walks upright beside a man to a gold lift in a marble lobby, smacks him on the neck, presses the call button for him, waits while he bends over to pull off his white sneakers, then kicks him into the lift and throws the sneakers in after him before strolling past the camera. Oakgen's template puts your two photos in those two roles and keeps the lobby, the timing and the sound.
Why is it called Dog Elevator Prank?
We did not find an established name for this clip, so Oakgen names it by what happens. The posts around it use words like lift prank, elevator prank and dog prank; lift and elevator mean the same thing here.
Do I need both photos?
Yes. Both roles are replaced in every video, so the prankster and the victim each need a photo before you can generate. Neither performer from the reference is kept.
Can my dog or cat be the prankster?
Yes. The prankster keeps the uploaded animal's species, face, coat and markings and walks upright on its hind legs, using its front paws for the smack, the button and the sneakers. Bodies very different from a tall retriever vary more, so review the video before sharing.
Can a pet be the victim, or a person the prankster?
Yes. Either role takes a pet, a person or a character photo and keeps its species. A person prankster does the walk, the smack and the kick with hands and feet. A pet victim still takes off the white sneakers at the lift, which is the oddest moment to check.
What does the victim wear?
Their own outfit from the photo, plus one template prop: plain white sneakers that come off at the lift and get thrown in after them.
Is there music?
No song. The video keeps the reference's original sound: short spoken lines and the hit sounds of the smack, the kick and the sneakers landing. Your photos do not change the voices.
Whose photos can I use?
Your own pets, yourself, or people who agreed to be in the video. Do not upload photos of celebrities, public figures or anyone who has not consented, keep it obviously a joke and label AI videos clearly when you share them.
How long is the video?
About 17 seconds in portrait 9:16, one continuous take from the walk to the lift to the prankster walking out of frame.
Is the preview generated by Oakgen?
No. It is the AI reference clip the trend comes from, with its watermark removed, not an Oakgen result. Review paws, hands and faces in your video before sharing.
How much does it cost?
3,596 credits per 720p video. The quote includes both photo preparations and the complete video. Check it before generating.
