Quick answer
Starrd's Fantasy (Rush Hour) template puts you in the back-seat sing-along from Rush Hour (1998). You sit small in the middle of the back seat of a black sedan and belt "Fantasy" with pure joy, while the driver side-eyes and rolls their eyes and the front passenger smirks, then turns round to watch. Add up to two friends as the driver and the passenger, or leave those seats to AI bodyguards in suits. It's one unbroken shot through the windshield, lip-synced to the song, in your own outfit, and it works with pets too. 1 to 3 photos, 17 seconds, widescreen 16:9, 480p, Seedance 2.5, 200 credits (about $10).
Seventeen seconds, one back seat and two bodyguards who have heard this song one too many times. One photo puts you in the Rush Hour "Fantasy" sing-along:
Fantasy (Rush Hour)
You sit small in the back seat and belt “Fantasy” while two deadpan bodyguards side-eye you. 1 to 3 photos, 17 seconds.
What You Get
- The whole sing-along in 17 seconds, from "When you walk by every night" to "all the things that float through my mind".
- One unbroken shot through the windshield, the way the film shot it.
- You, shown small. The singer sits low in the middle of the back seat, child-sized, in your own face and outfit.
- Lip sync. Your mouth moves with every word and closes for the breaths.
- Two reactions up front. The driver side-eyes, rolls their eyes and drops their head; the front passenger smirks, then turns round to watch.
- Bring friends, or don't. Photos 2 and 3 are the driver and the passenger. Empty seats get AI bodyguards in suits.
- People or pets. A dog or cat can be the singer.
- Sound. The song is on it.
- Widescreen 16:9.
What the Video Actually Is
It's from Rush Hour, the 1998 action comedy directed by Brett Ratner. Soo Yung, the Chinese consul's young daughter, rides in the back of a black sedan belting Mariah Carey's "Fantasy" at full volume, beaming and bobbing her head, while her two bodyguards up front do their best not to react.
Tubi (@tubi) posted the scene on TikTok on August 10, 2026, captioned "she ate that little performance", with the line "me whenever i'm in the car" over the top. It passed 3.8 million plays, 314,000 likes and 28,000 saves. The template uses the clip's full 17 seconds.
Why it suits AI: everyone has been the person singing too loud in the car, and everyone has been the person in the front seat putting up with it. You can cast all three seats.
The 17 Seconds
| Time | Lyric | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 0.0s | "When you walk by every night, talkin' sweet and lookin' fine" | The singer belts and beams, head bobbing. The driver side-eyes the back seat; the passenger smirks |
| 4.6s | "I get kinda hectic inside" | The singer sways. The driver rolls their eyes at the roof |
| 7.3s | (a breath) | The singer grins and sways to the beat |
| 8.4s | "Baby, I'm so into you" | Chin up, eyes shut on the long note. The driver drops their head, eyes closed |
| 11.5s | "Darling, if you only knew" | A huge smile and a head tilt. The driver's eyes slide back |
| 13.9s | "All the things that float through my mind" | The passenger turns round to watch with a grin; the driver turns too, with a dry smirk |
Your Look
You keep the clothes from your photo, never the film's school uniform. You're drawn small, about the height of a child in the back seat, but with your own face, age and hair. Friends in photos 2 and 3 keep their own outfits too. The AI bodyguards wear the film's look: a dark suit and tie at the wheel, a tweed blazer over a black turtleneck in the passenger seat. A director's note can change an outfit or put sunglasses on. The car, the seats and the timing stay, because they're the scene.
Use a clear photo with your face lit and looking at the camera. For photos 2 and 3, pick people who look different from each other, so the driver and the passenger never blur together.
The Fastest Way
Fantasy (Rush Hour)
You in the back seat of the Rush Hour sing-along, with friends or AI bodyguards up front. 1 to 3 photos, 17 seconds.

Build It Yourself
1. Start from a clean clip. Crop the scene out of the vertical TikTok's black bars and cover the burned-in lyrics, so they don't end up in your version.
2. Make one reference sheet of the car and everyone in it. A single image with the empty car on top and a turnaround of each person below keeps every face and outfit steady for the whole take.
Image 1 is a photo of one person. Make a photoreal vertical character reference sheet in four bands separated by thin black lines. Top band: the inside of an empty black luxury sedan seen through its windshield, black leather seats, the steering wheel on the right, a white car behind through the rear window. Second band: four full-length views of the person from Image 1 (front, three-quarter, side, back) in the clothes from their own photo. Third band: the same four views of a clean-shaven man in a dark charcoal suit, white shirt and dark tie. Fourth band: the same four views of a clean-shaven man with a crew cut in a brown tweed blazer over a black turtleneck. Overcast daylight, no text.
3. Drive a video model with the clip. Feed the sheet, 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 the singer exactly the size of the girl in the clip, and to keep both men's mouths closed.
Common Mistakes
A full-size singer. If the model draws you at your real height, your head pokes above the front seats and the joke is gone. The singer has to match the small figure in the back seat.
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.
Front seats that copy you. With only one photo, image models like to reuse your face for the people up front. Describe the bodyguards with their own hair and no glasses, and say they look like nobody in your photo.
Leaving the lyrics on screen. The clip has burned-in subtitles. Cover them first, or they come back as garbled text.
