Put your pet in the band

Dogs, cats, rabbits — 19 seconds of the “Outstanding” finale

Any animal with a face works: a dog, a cat, a rabbit, a parrot. Upload one photo or five, mix species across the seats, and get a 19-second vertical video with the original sound.

A mixed pet band: five photos, five seats.

Mix the pack however you like

A dog on lead, a cat on the sax, a rabbit on keys: each seat takes an animal from its own photo and keeps its own species. Photo 1 gets the close-up, photo 2 the sax solo, photo 3 the keyboard and photos 4 and 5 the backup spots. Empty seats keep the original performer.

What the model does with the photo

Four frames from the same render: close-up, wide, keyboard and solo. The desk, the lights and the cuts never move.

What is Pet Tiny Desk AI?

Pet Tiny Desk AI is the Tiny Desk AI band format opened up to animals: the 19-second vertical clip of The Gap Band’s “Outstanding” where the performers at five fixed positions are replaced by your pets.

It is not limited to dogs and cats. Any animal photo with a readable face works — a rabbit, a parrot, a hamster, a horse. Each one keeps its own species, fur or feathers and markings, so a mixed band still looks like five different animals rather than five copies of one.

The price is per video, not per seat, so a full five-pet band costs the same as one. The audio, the four hard cuts and the camera moves are fixed, so nothing has to be filmed or trained.

How to make a pet Tiny Desk video

One photo per seat, in any order you like. The seats are fixed, the species are not.

  1. 1

    Add one photo per pet

    Start with the pet you want in the close-up. Add up to four more for the sax solo, the keyboard and the two backup spots.

  2. 2

    Pick a resolution

    480p, 720p or 1080p. The credit cost sits on the button and does not change with the number of pets.

  3. 3

    Download in a few minutes

    Five shots render, stitch back onto the original cuts and arrive with the original audio as a vertical 9:16 MP4.

Five seats, any species

Seats are positions, not species. A cat can take the keyboard and a dog the sax — the band does not care, and neither does the mix.

What makes a good pet photo

One face, filling the frame, in decent light. That is the whole checklist, and species does not change it.

Works

  • One animal per photo, facing the camera
  • Head fills the frame, with feathers, ears or whiskers inside the crop
  • Bright, even light; eyes visible
  • Plain background with no other animals behind

Does not work

  • Two animals in one photo
  • A screenshot of a screenshot
  • Filters, stickers, or a cartoon avatar
  • Dark, blurry, or the animal turned away

Small pets count: a hamster photo works if the face is sharp and fills the frame. Tiny Desk AI photo requirements
