Quick answer

Starrd's Wipe Me Down template puts you and a friend in the viral 'Wipe Me Down' dance. Upload two photos: photo 1 leans right into the lens, springs back and dances hard around a teal walk-in dressing room, jumps, then crouches at the camera with both hands swinging past the lens, while photo 2 watches from the counter. At 9 seconds you both jump, then photo 2 takes over with a grinning solo while photo 1 stands back with arms crossed. It's one continuous take, every move is copied from the original clip as a depth map so it lands at the same moment, and you both keep your own face, hair and outfit. Pets work too, dancing upright on their hind legs. Boosie's 'Wipe Me Down' is on it. 15 seconds, vertical 9:16, Seedance 2.5, 480p, 150 credits (about $7.50).

One friend leans right into the lens and goes all out, you both jump, and the other takes it from there while the first one stands back with arms crossed. Two photos put you and a friend in the viral Wipe Me Down dance. Here it is:

Wipe Me Down, from two photos

Wipe Me Down

Two photos. One of you goes all out at the lens, you both jump, and the other takes over. 15 seconds.

What You Get

  • Two of you, one take. No cuts: the whole dance plays in a single shot from a phone propped low near the floor.
  • The opening lean. Photo 1 starts bent right into the wide-angle lens, the face huge at the top of the frame.
  • The handoff. You jump together at 9 seconds, and from there the solo belongs to photo 2.
  • The timed faces. A sly smile into the lens, a wild face at 8.7 seconds, and a big grin from photo 2 for the last few seconds while photo 1 watches.
  • Your own look. Your faces, your hair and the clothes from your photos, in the clip's teal dressing room.
  • People or pets. A dog or cat dances upright on its hind legs, next to a friend or another pet.
  • 15 seconds, vertical 9:16, with the song, ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.

What the Video Actually Is

The clip is from TikTok creator @xantoofunny, posted on August 17, 2026 with the caption "Wipe me down" (13.3M+ plays and 1.9M+ likes so far). One friend in a black dress shirt and a chain sets the phone low in a room of floor-to-ceiling teal cabinets, then dances as hard as he can, right up to the lens. The other, in a grey hoodie and red track pants, leans on the counter and watches until they jump together, then takes it over with a grinning solo. The sound is Boosie's verse on "Wipe Me Down", the one that spells out his name, at about 83 BPM.

Why it suits AI: the fun is watching two specific friends do it, and that's the part nobody else's video can give you. You don't need the room, the moves or the nerve. Two photos cover all three.

Your Look, Their Moves

  • Your own outfits. A suit, a tank top, a dress: whatever is in each photo dances. Nobody gets the original's black shirt or red track pants.
  • Seen head to toe. Both dancers are shown full length, so if a photo stops at the waist, the rest of the outfit is filled in to match its style.
  • Your own hair. The original dancers' haircuts stay out of it, so your hair keeps its own cut and length.
Pro Tip

Clear, well-lit photos where the faces are easy to see work best, and full-length ones keep your shoes and trousers exactly yours. Put whoever you want going all out at the lens first: photo 1 gets the opening close-up and most of the dance.

The Fastest Way

Wipe Me Down

Two photos, one take: go all out, jump together, and hand it over. 15 seconds.

Try It

Two photos, 150 credits (about $7.50), no prompt. It renders on Seedance 2.5 at 480p, vertical 9:16, 15 seconds, with the song on top.

Build It Yourself

1. Turn the clip into a depth map. Run the clip through a depth-estimation model (Depth Anything V2 works). The depth map keeps both dancers' moves, the camera and the shape of the room, and drops the faces, the clothes and the colour, so nobody from the original shows up in your video.

2. Make one storyboard sheet of six stills. The lean into the lens, the kicks, the jump, the crouch at the camera, both dancers in the air, and the solo with the arms-crossed watcher, all generated from your two photos, with a depth-map sheet of the original framings as a layout guide.

The double jump panel
A photorealistic still from a real vertical phone video, filmed at night on a wide-angle lens propped low near the floor, in a luxury walk-in dressing room with floor-to-ceiling teal-blue shaker cabinets, a pale stone counter and a light oak floor. Two friends in the air at the same moment, side by side, feet off the floor, knees up, arms bent, both faces hyped. The person from reference image 1 is on the left and the person from reference image 2 is on the right, each in exactly the clothes from their own photo. No text, no logos.

3. Drive it with the depth map. Feed the sheet, your photos and the depth video to a model that copies motion from a reference video (we recommend Seedance 2.5). Then write what it can't read from a depth map:

  • Who is who: which figure each photo plays, and the side each stays on.
  • The handoff: a timed list of who dances when, so the watcher stays still until they jump and the first dancer stops after they land.
  • The faces: where each one looks and when they smile, because small faces carry no expression through a depth map.

Lay the song back on top at the end: Seedance can drop or change music on its own, so mux the track yourself.

Common Mistakes

Driving with the raw clip. The original dancers' faces and clothes come straight through. Use the depth map.

Losing the far dancer. A depth map scales to whatever is nearest the lens, so with one dancer up close, the friend by the counter nearly fades into the background. Lift the midtones, or the model may drop them.

Leaving the original hair in the depth map. Twists and big curls leave an outline, and that outline can grow on your head. Smooth the heads down to a plain rounded shape first.

Asking for lip sync. Nobody in the original raps along, so a depth map gives the model no mouth to copy. Say plainly that nobody sings, or the mouths flap at random.

Both dancing the whole time. Without timing, the model gets both of them moving from the first frame. Say the watcher stays against the counter until 8.8 seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Wipe Me Down dance trend?

A two-friend dance to Boosie's 'Wipe Me Down', filmed in one take on a phone propped low in a room of teal cabinets. One friend goes all out right up to the lens, they both jump, and the other takes over. The clip this template copies was posted on TikTok by @xantoofunny on August 17, 2026 with the caption 'Wipe me down', and has passed 13 million plays.

How many photos do I need?

Two, one for each dancer. A clear, well-lit photo of each works best; a full-length photo helps, because both dancers are shown head to toe.

Who does what?

Photo 1 dances first: the lean into the lens, the kicks, the jump and the crouch at the camera, then stands back with arms crossed from about 11 seconds. Photo 2 watches from the counter, jumps in at 9 seconds and takes over with the solo. The order goes by photo position, not by gender.

Is the dance the same as the real clip?

Yes. The moves and the camera come from the original clip, so every step, jump and arm swing lands at the same moment as the original's. It stays one continuous take with no cuts.

Do we wear the black shirt and the hoodie?

No. You both keep the clothes from your own photos. The room stays the same: the teal cabinets, the stone counter and the wood floor from the clip.

Can my pet do it?

Yes. A pet stands upright on its hind legs with its own face, fur and real paws. It can take either role, next to a friend or another pet, and folds its paws for the arms-crossed part.

How long is it, and what does it cost?

15 seconds, vertical 9:16, at 480p, rendered on Seedance 2.5, with the song. It costs 150 credits, about $7.50.

Do I need to label it as AI?

Yes. TikTok, Instagram and YouTube all require AI-generated content to be disclosed.
