  1. 01

    Upload the speaker

    Add one clear photo of yourself or of someone who agreed to appear. A sharp, front-facing face with the mouth and chin clearly visible works best, because the last three seconds are a close-up of the lower face. The outfit in the photo is the one you wear.

  2. 02

    Review quality and price

    Choose 480p, 720p or 1080p and review the quote. It includes the full video and the photo preparation.

  3. 03

    Check the close-ups

    Watch your face on "you're not that guy, pal" around 3 seconds, the closed-lip pause near 5.5 seconds and your mouth in the final close-up, then download your vertical MP4.

01

Your face, then your mouth

From about 2 seconds your face rises into the camera frame and fills it by 5 seconds. From 6 seconds the phone drops to an extreme close-up of your mouth and chin for the rest of the clip, so your lips, stubble or beard and skin carry the last three seconds.

02

Your own outfit, not the suit

The reference performer wears a blue superhero suit with a red cape. That costume is not part of the template: you wear the outfit in your photo, and the cape, armour and gloves are left out.

03

The line everyone knows

"You're not that guy, pal. Trust me, you're not that guy." Your video keeps the clip's original audio and timing; you do not record anything, and your photo does not change the voice.

04

One photo, one take

One continuous 9-second handheld shot through a bright pharmacy, no cuts. The preview is the reference clip, not an Oakgen result.

  • One person in the photo

Questions & answers

What is the You're Not That Guy trend?

It is a 9-second vertical AI video built on the "You're not that guy, pal" meme audio. One person faces an offscreen camera operator in a pharmacy as the camera tilts up and moves closer. The visible person says "you're not that guy, pal, trust me, you're not that guy", ending in an extreme close-up of their mouth and chin. Oakgen's template puts the person from your photo in it and keeps the store, the camera moves and the audio.

Where does the line come from?

"You're not that guy, pal" is a meme from a viral 2020 video filmed in a store, later reused as a sound and a catchphrase for telling someone they are less impressive than they think. The reference clip pairs that audio with a man dressed as Homelander from The Boys. This template is an unofficial fan-style format, not connected to the show, the meme's original video or any store.

Do I wear the superhero suit?

No. The suit, cape, shoulder armour and gloves in the reference are not kept. Your photo replaces the whole person, so you wear the outfit in your photo. A plain T-shirt or a work shirt often makes the line funnier.

Will it use my voice?

No. The video keeps the clip's original audio, so you are heard in the meme's voice. You do not record anything.

Do I need a photo?

Yes, one, and it is required. The person in the reference is never kept, so your photo always takes the role.

Why is the end of the video only my mouth and chin?

That is the joke of the clip: the phone gets so close that only the lower face is left in frame for the last three seconds. Your face is fully on screen from about 3 to 6 seconds; after that the template keeps the same extreme close-up.

Whose photos can I use?

Use photos of yourself or of people who agreed to be in the video. Do not upload photos of actors, celebrities or anyone who has not consented, label AI videos clearly when you share them and keep the put-down obviously a joke.

Does the mouth match the words?

The template sends the clip's audio and the tracked mouth movement of the reference with your photo, and the original audio is restored at the end. These are instructions to a model, so check the close-ups before posting and re-run if the lips clearly drift.

Can I use a photo of my pet?

The template is written for a person talking into a phone. An animal photo is not blocked, but the result is untested and the mouth close-up may not look right.

How long is the video?

9 seconds in portrait 9:16, one continuous handheld take with no cuts.

Is the preview generated by Oakgen?

No. It is the reference clip the trend comes from, not an Oakgen result. Review the face, the mouth close-up and the hands in your video before sharing.

How much does it cost?

1,798 credits per 720p video. The quote includes the photo preparation and the complete video. Check it before generating.
