What is I Love the Smiths AI?

A two-photo generator that rebuilds the elevator scene as a 15-second, one-take 16:9 video with the original scene soundtrack.

How long is the video?

15 seconds, 360 frames at 24 fps, in one continuous take.

16:9 horizontal, 1280 × 720 at 720p. 480p is 854 × 480; 1080p is an upscale.

Exactly two: one listener, one speaker.

Which photo goes first?

Photo 1 is the listener on the left with the headphones. Photo 2 is the speaker on the right with the folders.

Can I use the same photo twice?

No. Two distinct people are required.

Can I make a solo video?

Not in the launch version. Both seats are required.

What if I swap the photos?

The roles swap: the listener will be the one with the folders and the speaker the one with the headphones. Re-upload in the right order and render again.

Do you clone our voices?

No. The audio is a pre-recorded bed; neither person’s voice is cloned.

Does the video have sound?

Yes. The 15-second original scene soundtrack is mixed into the MP4.

Is it the real Smiths song?

No. The file carries the scene's pre-recorded soundtrack; no generated Smiths recording or lyrics are used.

Can I change the lines?

The launch template uses the fixed line reading. Custom dialogue is not supported.

Are these the real actors?

No. Every customer render is generated from the uploaded photos.

Is this affiliated with the film or the band?

No. It is an independent parody / fan project, not affiliated with The Smiths, Searchlight Pictures or (500) Days of Summer.

How much does one video cost?

7 credits at 480p, 16 at 720p, 26 at 1080p. Packs: $6.99 / $12.99 / $39.99.

No. Unused credits stay on the account.

Is there a free trial?

No. The 480p draft is the cheapest way to test the casting.

PayPal or card through Anyway. Prices are in USD.

How long does a render take?

Usually 5–15 minutes. The job times out at 30 minutes and refunds.

What happens if the render fails?

The whole render fails, the credits are refunded, and the result page offers a retry.

Does a retry cost again?

Yes. The failed attempt was refunded; the retry is a new render at the same credit price.

Can I use it commercially?

Not without clearing the underlying rights. The site is a parody tool and grants no rights to the film, song or likeness.

How do I download it?

Use the download button on the result page, or scan the QR to open it on your phone. It stays in My creations for 14 days.

16:9 is the default. For 9:16, crop the MP4 in TikTok or CapCut.

What languages are supported?

English at launch. The site is built for more locales; the interface will add them later.

How do I delete my photos?

They are deleted after 14 days. Email help@ilovesmiths.com if you need earlier removal.

Who can use the site?

Adults 18+ who hold the rights to both photos. No celebrities, no minors.

Where do I report a problem?

Email help@ilovesmiths.com with the creation id. Include the job id if the render failed.

Is the sample a customer render?

No. The sample is the reference scene used to build the prompt; every ordered video is generated from your photos.

Why one take instead of five shots?

The original is one take. Five shots was a competitor's edit and caused identity drift; we render one continuous 15-second shot.

Does the output have metadata?

The MP4 is a normal H.264 file; no C2PA manifest is embedded. Label it yourself when posting.

Can I use the site on my phone?

Yes. The studio works on mobile, and the result page has a phone download QR.

What if the photos are low resolution?

The render still works, but the face will be soft. Use the sharpest photo you have, at least 512 px on the face.

Can I delete a render?

Email support with the creation id; the file is removed from storage.

Do you offer refunds for a bad likeness?

A failed render refunds automatically. A completed render that you dislike is not a failure; the 480p draft exists to test the casting.

Why does the site ask for two photos?

The scene has two seats. A missing person breaks the line reading and the exit.

Direct answer

Two photos, 15 seconds, 16:9, 720p default, original sound included, 7/16/26 credits at 480p/720p/1080p. Failed renders refund; retries are available; the output is AI-generated and unaffiliated with the film or the band.
