What the 90s Rom-Com AI video looks like

This is the trend's original AI reel, with its own sound; the people in it are AI-made. The Wrong Number version copies a 15-second cut of it with your faces. The Rainy Meet-Cute versions copy a different scene, the splash in the rain.

Original reel by @cinematic.grace_, 25 s

The original reel by @cinematic.grace_ (25 September 2026): outside a hotel on a wet night he asks for her number, "I'm married", she gives him one anyway, and the man who answers the call walks off with her.

How to make the 90s Rom-Com AI video on MakeViral

Everything runs in the browser. No editing app, no prompt to write, no watermark.

  1. Add the two photos

    Press "Create your own" and add her part: face clear, then his part: face clear. Add them in this order, because the order decides who is who in the scene. Take them with the camera or pick them from your library.

  2. Press Generate

    The button shows the price. Seedance 2.5 puts your photos into the 90s Rom-Com AI trend clip and copies it shot by shot for 15 seconds, with the reel's original song. You write no prompt.

  3. Download or share

    The video is ready in up to several minutes as a 9:16 MP4. Download it, share it from your phone, or find it later in My videos.

Which photo works best?

Wrong Number and Rainy Meet-Cute: two photos, one person in each. Photo 1 plays her part (the one who gives the number, or the one who gets splashed); photo 2 plays his part. Any two adults work: each person keeps their own gender. Solo: one photo of you in the lead; the AI-made man stays. Pet: one photo of your dog or cat.

  • Faces clear, in good light, from the chest up. No sunglasses, no hat, no beauty filter. The scenes cut to big close-ups, so a sharp face matters most.
  • Any clothes work: you both wear the 1990s outfits of the scene. Your hair stays as in the photo.
  • Adults only. Use your own photos, or a photo of an adult who said yes. Never a celebrity, a stranger or a child.

Where did the 90s Rom-Com AI trend start?

The 90s rom com AI wave (also spelled 90s romcom AI) started on Instagram and TikTok in late September 2026, when AI creators began to post short films in the look of 1990s romantic comedies. On 25 September, @cinematic.grace_ posted "She gave him number. Just not the one he wanted": outside a hotel on a wet New York night, a man asks a woman for her number, she gives him one, and the man who answers the call walks off with her. It passed 442,000 likes. A day later, @dreamfall.art posted the 90s AI movie "TAKE YOUR TIME" on TikTok, which passed 671,000 views; his 90s drama series "ACROSS THE STREET" had passed 674,000 views on one part.

Other creators followed with their own 90s AI film shorts: payphones in the rain, proposals in diners, a Christmas form of the genre and 90s nostalgia AI video clips of New York. On TikTok, #90sromcom holds 2,365 videos and 75 million views. On 8 November 2026, Higgsfield added "Rainy Street Encounter", a two-photo template of one such scene: a car splashes her white coat in the rain, and he buys her a new one.

Recreate the reference video [Video 1] shot for shot: a 1990s romantic comedy at night outside a grand hotel entrance with a glowing marquee, wet pavement, shot on 35 mm film, the same shots, camera angles, cuts, timing, moves and mouth moves. Replace the dark-haired woman in the black satin dress in [Video 1] with the person from [Image 1]: same face, build and hairstyle as the reference. Exact same motion and timing as the original. Replace the dark-haired man in the black overcoat and tie in [Video 1] with the person from [Image 2]: same face, build and hairstyle as the reference. Exact same motion and timing as the original. Neither character takes any features from the other's reference. The blond man in the camel coat, background extras, environment, props, camera and edit rhythm completely unchanged. The woman's part = the person in [Image 1], in EVERY shot: copy the exact face from [Image 1]: face shape, eye color and eye shape, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin tone, age, hair color, hair length and hairstyle, and any beard, moustache, glasses or freckles exactly as in the photo. The man's part = the person in [Image 2], in EVERY shot: copy the exact face from [Image 2], with the same details. Both change: no one from [Video 1] stays in their parts, also in the wide shots. Each face stays the same from the first frame to the last, so their friends recognize them at once. Never morph, never drift back to the original faces. NO long dark hair unless [Image 1] shows it; NO short dark hair unless [Image 2] shows it. The outfits stay those of [Video 1], never the clothes from the photos: the person from [Image 1] wears the black satin dress under a long black coat, the person from [Image 2] the long black overcoat over a white shirt and a dark tie. Shot 1 [0-1.95s]: a two-shot on the sidewalk; the man: "Can I get your number?" Shot 2 [1.95-2.8s]: the same two-shot, closer; the woman: "I'm married." Shot 3 [2.8-3.5s]: hard cut, a close-up of the woman's hand reaching into her coat pocket. Shot 4 [3.5-4.35s]: hard cut, a close-up of the man: "I don't see a ring." Shot 5 [4.35-6.65s]: hard cut, a close-up of the woman: "You don't see a lot of things." Then: "Nine one seven..." Shot 6 [6.65-8.3s]: hard cut, a close-up of the man, smiling: "So I have a chance?" Shot 7 [8.3-9.2s]: hard cut, a close-up of the woman: "Call it." Shot 8 [9.2-10.15s]: hard cut, over the man's shoulder, a brick phone at his ear: across the sidewalk the blond man in the camel coat answers his own phone: "Hello?" Shot 9 [10.15-14.5s]: hard cut, a wide shot: the man stands stunned with the phone at his ear while the woman walks away with the blond man. The voice on the phone: "You wanted a number. I gave you one." The mouths move only on their own lines, in sync with [Video 1]. No other dialogue. No background music. One head per person, on their own shoulders. People far in the background keep their own faces. Real 1990s film footage, soft grain. No text, no captions, no subtitles, no logos, no watermark, no badge in any corner, no readable signs or plates.

Recreate the reference video [Video 1] shot for shot: a 1990s romantic film on a rainy city street, shot on 35 mm film, the same shots, camera angles, cuts, timing and moves. The ONLY change: the blonde woman is now the pet in [Image 1], in every shot where she appears. The pet = the pet in [Image 1], in EVERY shot: the same species and breed, face, eyes, ears, muzzle, fur colors, fur length and markings as in [Image 1], with the natural body volume and proportions of that animal: never flattened, squashed, stretched or merged with anything. Never a person, never a human face. The pet wears a small long white coat, like the woman's in [Video 1]. The black-haired man stays exactly as in [Video 1]: his own face, hair, clothes and moves; he talks to the pet. Shot 1 [0-1.25s]: inside a yellow cab, the pet sits up in the back seat and lifts a paw ahead: "Stop here, please." Shot 2 [1.25-3.1s]: the pet hops out of the cab onto the wet sidewalk of a city street in the rain. Shot 3 [3.1-3.6s]: hard cut, a close-up of the pet, eyes shut, as dirty water splashes onto it. Shot 4 [3.6-4.25s]: hard cut, a brown mud stain on the pet's small white coat. Shot 5 [4.25-5.35s]: hard cut, a close-up of the pet, shocked, wet fur: "Perfect." Shot 6 [5.35-6.75s]: hard cut, a black car at the curb, the man gets out and walks to the pet. Shot 7 [6.75-7.9s]: hard cut, over the man's shoulder onto the pet; the man: "I'm so sorry." Shot 8 [7.9-8.85s]: hard cut, a close-up of the pet, a grumpy look: "You should be." Shot 9 [8.85-10.4s]: hard cut, a close-up of the man: "Let me replace it." Shot 10 [10.4-12.2s]: hard cut, a close-up of the pet, head turned away, proud: "I don't want your money." Shot 11 [12.2-13.85s]: hard cut, the man and the pet walk side by side into a warm, lit boutique. Shot 12 [13.85-14.9s]: in the boutique window the pet shows off a new small white coat. The pet speaks the woman's lines like a talking pet, its own mouth moving in sync with [Video 1]; the man speaks his own lines. No other dialogue. No background music. Exactly one animal and one man in front; people far in the background keep their own faces. Real live-action 1990s film footage, soft grain, no distortion. No text, no captions, no subtitles, no logos, no watermark, no badge in any corner, no readable signs or plates.

How many credits does it cost?

You pay per video in credits, and the create page shows the exact price on the Generate button before you spend anything. The one-tap price covers the video, made in one step from your photos and the trend clip, charged once. One video is 228 credits, so the smallest one-time pack that covers it is $39.99 for 450 credits, with no subscription. The cheaper models are there if you run the prompts by hand in AI Video.

Which 90s rom-com scene should you pick?

VersionPhotosWhat happens
Wrong Number2Night, a hotel entrance, wet pavement. He asks for her number: "I'm married." "I don't see a ring." "You don't see a lot of things." She gives him a number, he calls it, and another man answers: "You wanted a number. I gave you one."
Rainy Meet-Cute2She gets out of a cab in the rain and a passing car splashes her white coat: "Perfect." He gets out: "I'm so sorry." "You should be." "Let me replace it." "I don't want your money." Then they walk into a boutique for a new coat
Solo1The Rainy Meet-Cute with you in the lead; the man is AI-made
Pet1Your pet gets splashed in a little white coat and gets a new one

Every version makes a 15-second vertical video, 720p, with the scene's own dialogue and soft music put back on. Photo 1 plays the same part in every two-photo version, so your photos stay when you switch.

How does the AI 90s film look come together?

Each version copies a real 90s AI movie scene shot for shot: the same cuts, the same camera, the same timing. Top-quality AI video models, including Seedance 2.5, put your faces in place of the two leads and keep the 35 mm grain, the rain and the 1990s coats. You write no prompt.

The sound is the scene's own: the soft score, the rain and the two original AI voices. Your mouths move to those lines, so the voices are not your own. A run takes 5 to 15 minutes, and the exact price shows on the Generate button before you spend anything. If a run fails, the credits come back.

What goes wrong, and how do you fix it?

What goes wrongWhat to do
A face looks less like the photo in a quick close-upUse sharp, front-facing photos in good light, then run it again
The original actor's blonde hair or slicked hair comes backRun it again; a photo that shows your hair clearly helps
The two faces look alikeUse two photos with clear, different faces
A line seems to come from the wrong mouthThe dialogue is put back after the run. Run it again

Every run is a new take, so results differ from run to run.

FAQ

90s Rom-Com AI trend questions

What is the 90s rom com AI trend?
It is a wave of short AI videos that look like scenes from 1990s romantic comedies: rainy New York nights, long coats, film grain and a meet-cute with a twist. It started in late September 2026 with creators like @cinematic.grace_ and @dreamfall.art, whose 90s AI movies passed 442,000 likes and 671,000 views. Here you star in one of these AI rom coms.
What is the rainy meet cute scene?
It is the scene Higgsfield turned into a template on 8 November 2026: a woman steps out of a cab, a car splashes her white coat, the driver says sorry and buys her a new coat. On MakeViral it is the Rainy Meet-Cute version, with two photos, one photo (Solo) or your pet.
Is there a 90s movie AI prompt?
No creator of these shorts shared their prompt. Our prompt starts from the template's own swap words (replace each lead with a reference face, same motion and timing, nothing else changes) and adds the shot list, the lines and the rules that keep your faces. You do not need a 90s AI video prompt or an AI love story video prompt: you add photos and press Generate.
Can I make an AI rom com movie with my partner?
Yes. Pick Wrong Number or Rainy Meet-Cute and add two photos: photo 1 plays her part, photo 2 his part. Two men or two women work too: each person keeps their own gender. It is an AI love story video of you two: a 90s love story in an AI 1990s movie scene.
Can I make it with only my photo, or with my pet?
Yes. Solo puts you in the lead of the Rainy Meet-Cute, and an AI-made man in a black overcoat plays the other part. Pet puts your dog or cat in a little white coat: it gets splashed, talks back with the scene's lines and gets a new coat.
How is this different from the 90s Christmas AI trend?
The Christmas form of the genre, a snowball fight on a snowy square, has its own page: Don't You Dare Christmas. This page is the year-round 90s romance AI scenes: the Wrong Number pickup and the rainy meet-cute, in the city at night.
Does the video have sound?
Yes. Every version puts the scene's own sound back on: the soft score, the rain and the two original voices speaking the lines. The voices are the scene's, not yours. You can turn the sound off on the result screen or add your own sound when you post it.
How long is the video, and does it cost credits?
Every version makes 15 seconds, vertical 9:16 at 720p, as an MP4 file with sound. Each video costs credits: the create page shows the exact price on the Generate button before you spend anything. If a video fails, the credits come back.
Who can make it?
Adults only, with their own photos or photos of an adult who said yes, or a photo of your pet. Never use a photo of a celebrity, a stranger or a child. MakeViral does not post your photos or your video anywhere; the video goes to your private My videos page.
