Quick answer
Starrd's Easy A Pocketful of Sunshine template puts one photo in Olive's sing-along montage from Easy A (2010). You sing "I got a, I got a…" in profile at a sunlit bedroom window holding an open greeting card, belt into the shower head like a microphone in a dry shower, shape a tall shampoo-foam mohawk, then dance around your bedroom at night and slow to a breathless sway. It's eight shots with every cut on the beat, lip-synced to the song, in your own outfit, and it works with pets too. 24 seconds, vertical 9:16, 480p, Seedance 2.5, 250 credits (about $12.50).
Twenty-four seconds, one song you can't get out of your head and three places to sing it. One photo puts you in the Easy A "Pocketful of Sunshine" montage:
Easy A Pocketful of Sunshine
One photo. Sing at the window, belt into the shower head with a foam mohawk, then dance around your room at night. 24 seconds.
What You Get
- The whole montage in 24 seconds. The window, the shower, the foam mohawk and the bedroom dance, from the first "I got a" to the last sway.
- Eight shots, every cut on the beat, where the original cuts.
- Lip sync. Your mouth moves with the singing and stays closed in the instrumental gaps.
- Three places. A bedroom window glowing gold in the afternoon, a small white-tiled shower, and the same bedroom at night with warm lamps and fairy lights.
- Your own look. You keep your face, hair and outfit in every shot, including the shower.
- People or pets. A cat or dog sings it standing up, with its own face and fur.
- Sound. The song is on it.
- Vertical 9:16, ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
What the Video Actually Is
It's from Easy A, the 2010 teen comedy directed by Will Gluck. Olive Penderghast (Emma Stone) gets a musical greeting card that plays Natasha Bedingfield's "Pocketful of Sunshine". She tells everyone she hates the song, and then spends the weekend singing it: in profile at her window holding the card, into the shower head like a microphone, with shampoo piled into a mohawk, and all over her bedroom.
Prime Video Brasil (@primevideobr) posted the scene on TikTok on July 17, 2026, captioned "eu quando não consigo tirar uma música da cabeça", which means "me when I can't get a song out of my head". It passed 230,000 plays and 20,000 likes. The template starts where the "I got a, I got a" part kicks in and runs 24 seconds from there.
Why it suits AI: the joke works with anyone who's ever had a song stuck in their head, and the montage needs three sets and a costume change of shampoo. One photo covers all of it.
The 24 Seconds, Shot by Shot
| Time | Shot | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 0.0s | Close-up, sunlit window | In profile, eyes closed, holding the open card up beside your face, swaying and singing |
| 4.5s | Close-up, dry shower | Head thrown back belting, then the shower head comes up like a microphone |
| 6.8s | Close-up, facing camera | Both hands on top of your head, shaping a tall shampoo-foam mohawk |
| 9.9s | Extreme close-up | You turn to the lens, eyes pop open, mouth wide on "Oh, whoa" |
| 11.4s | Close-up, bedroom at night | Fists at your chest, eyes shut, belting, one arm rising |
| 14.5s | Wide | Dancing wildly in the middle of the room, arms flung out |
| 16.5s | Medium | Head thrown back, one hand on top of your head, singing to the ceiling |
| 18.6s | Wide | Dancing across the room, then slowing to a breathless sway |
Your Look
You wear the clothes from your photo in every shot, from the window to the bedroom. In the film the shower is real. Here it's dry: you stand in it fully dressed, no water runs, and the foam mohawk sits on your own hair. A director's note can change your outfit ("a yellow sundress", "pajamas", "a school blazer"), put sunglasses on or take them off, or change the card. The window, the shower and the bedroom stay, because they're the scene.
Use one clear photo with your face lit and looking at the camera. Waist-up or more works best: the last three shots are wide, and the tool has to show your whole outfit dancing.
The Fastest Way
Easy A Pocketful of Sunshine
You in Olive's sing-along montage: the window, the shower and the bedroom dance. One photo, 24 seconds.
One photo, 250 credits (about $12.50), no prompt. Vertical 9:16, 480p, 24 seconds, with sound. Find it in Music & Performance.
Build It Yourself
1. Start from a clean vertical clip. Take the montage from the "I got a, I got a" line, crop it to 9:16 and cover any burned-in lyrics, so they don't end up in your version.
2. Make one storyboard of you in all three places. A single image with a panel per shot keeps your face and outfit the same across the window, the shower and the bedroom.
Image 1 is a photo of one person. Make a photoreal vertical storyboard sheet of six film stills in two columns and three rows, separated by thin black lines, with the person from Image 1 in every panel, in the clothes from their own photo. Top left: in profile at a sunlit bedroom window with sheer cream curtains, eyes closed, head tipped back, holding an open greeting card beside their face. Top right: in a dry white-tiled shower, fully dressed, singing into a chrome shower head like a microphone. Middle left: facing the camera in the same shower, both hands shaping a tall white shampoo-foam mohawk on their head. Middle right: a bedroom at night with warm lamps and fairy lights, fists at the chest, eyes shut, belting. Bottom left: full figure dancing wildly in the middle of the bedroom, arms flung out. Bottom right: head thrown back, one hand on top of the head, singing to the ceiling. Same face and outfit in every panel, no water, no text.
3. Drive a video model with the clip. Feed the storyboard, your photo and the clip to a model that copies motion from a reference video, and keep the song on the clip so the mouth has something to follow. Starrd's Character Swap does the swap on your own clip. Ask it to keep every cut, every move and the mouth movements exactly on the clip's timing, with your mouth closed where the singing stops.
Common Mistakes
A silent reference. Without the song in the reference, the mouth guesses and drifts off the words. Keep the audio on the clip you drive with.
Face-only selfies. The last three shots are wide, so the tool has to invent your clothes and build. Use a photo that shows more of you.
Letting the shower get wet. Ask for running water and you get wet hair, a towel or a change of outfit halfway through. Keep it dry and keep the clothes on.
Leaving the lyrics on screen. The original clip has burned-in subtitles. Cover them first, or they come back as garbled text in your video.
