How to Make a Gangsta’s Paradise AI Video With a Friend

Open the Gangsta’s Paradise AI template, add one photo for each performer and generate. The example below puts two leads in front of a choir.

Where the song and choir scene come from

The name comes from Coolio’s “Gangsta’s Paradise” featuring L.V., released in 1995. Tommy Boy published the official music video.

The stage and choir in this example come from the blue-backdrop performance clip shown alongside the AI result. The creator and first upload of that clip are unverified.

1. Pick two photos with clear faces and outfits

Choose one photo of each adult. Look for even lighting, an unobstructed face and enough room around the shoulders to see the clothes. If the outfit matters, use a wider shot that shows it. Ask your friend before uploading their photo.

2. Assign one photo to each performer

Put the person you want in the dark-jacket performer’s role in slot 1. Put the person you want in the red-jacket performer’s role in slot 2. Those jackets identify the roles in the reference. The template takes each person’s face, hair and clothing cues from their own photo.

3. Generate and review the choir clip

Check the credit quote on Generate before starting. The source task used Wan 3.0 Prime, 480p, 15 seconds and automatic framing, with audio enabled. Open My Videos to preview the clip. Watch each performer’s close-ups and listen to the audio before downloading or sharing.

What to fix if the faces or outfits look off

If the people are in the wrong spots, swap the two photos. If a face is hard to recognize, try a sharper, front-facing shot with the mouth and eyes visible. If the outfit changes, use a photo that shows more of the garment and check the result in a wide shot.
