  • Your clothes do not matter. You stand in the clip's black tactical gear, with a black beanie and a headset. Your whole face shows: no mask.

  • The video is wide 16:9, like the clip.
  • Use your own photo or the photo of an adult who said yes. Never a celebrity, a stranger or a child.

Where did the End of Watch Locker trend start?

End of Watch (2012) is a found-footage police film. In its locker room scene, Jake Gyllenhaal's officer films himself with a small camera and shows his gear to the lens, one piece at a time, while his partner sits beside him.

The meme took off on TikTok in August 2023 with the sound "original sound - xylo", a clip of the rap song "Twirlanta" ("my stepper gon' brush him, if I press the button"). People made their own edition at work: a gym edition by @wardsimons on 16 August 2023 (811,300 views), a fast-food edition on 18 August (633,800) and a Walmart edition on 20 August (724,200). The sound is in 66,100 videos.

The AI wave started in August 2026. A Kling AI template puts your face on the film shot, and tutorial accounts posted the Jake Gyllenhaal police locker scene from 7 August; the most viewed, on 9 August, has 132,700 views. Jake Gyllenhaal locker scene TikTok posts got their own tag, #lockerscenetrend, the same day and had 226 videos and 966,401 views on 2 November 2026. An End of Watch film edit passed 1.1 million views in October, and new AI versions of the locker scene kept coming.

Recreate the reference video [Video 1] shot for shot: the same dark locker room, the same black tactical gear, the same handheld camera angles, cuts, timing and moves. Replace the person in [Video 1] with the person from [Image 1]. Keep the person from [Image 1] as the main character. Preserve the original video's background, actions, camera movement, lighting, and timing. Only replace the person, keeping everything else unchanged. The ONLY change: the lead with the round cartoon head is now the person in [Image 1], a real human. The lead = the person in [Image 1], in EVERY shot: copy the exact face from [Image 1] (the face shape, eye color and eye shape, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin tone, age, hair color and any beard, moustache, glasses or freckles exactly as in the photo). NO mask: the whole face from [Image 1] shows, nose and mouth uncovered, never a round cartoon head, never a smooth white face with dot eyes. The lead keeps the black beanie, the headset with the microphone, the black tactical vest, the black jacket and the black gloves from the video. The lead STANDS the whole clip, as in the video, and never sits. The same real person in every frame, from the first second to the last, so their friends recognize them at once, also in the close-ups and when a hand covers part of the face. Never morph, never drift back to the cartoon head. If [Image 1] shows an animal, the lead is that animal standing upright in the same gear, with its own face, fur and markings, not a person. The second man behind on the left stays exactly as in the video. The shots, matching [Video 1] second by second (the camera is a handheld camera held close, at chest height): Shot 1 [0-3.5s]: close-ups and a medium shot: the lead stands in the dark locker room and looks straight into the lens, turning the head a little; the second man stands behind on the left with a rifle across his chest. Shot 2 [3.5-4.9s]: hard cut, the lead holds up a black pistol with a mounted light, turned sideways close to the lens. Shot 3 [4.9-6.0s]: hard cut, the light flashes into the lens: a white glare fills the frame, then fades to a blue-white flare. Shot 4 [6.0-7.4s]: hard cut, the lead holds up a black combat knife, blade up, turns it sideways, then raises a pair of steel handcuffs with both hands. Shot 5 [7.4-8.8s]: hard cut, the lead holds a small black radio in both gloved hands close to the lens. Shot 6 [8.8-11s]: hard cut, the lead flicks a small black tool toward the lens, holds up a small red spray canister next to the face, then gives a short two-finger salute from the temple. The lead copies every move of the original lead at the same moment, in the same direction and at the same speed. Real live-action footage, clear facial features. Anatomy rules: one head only, on the lead's shoulders. A face never appears on hands, gloves, gear or lockers. Two hands with five fingers each. The gear is only held up to the lens as in the video, never aimed at anyone. No new text, no captions, no logos, no watermark.

Recreate the reference video [Video 1] shot for shot: the same dark locker room, the same black tactical gear, the same handheld camera angles, cuts, timing and moves.

Preserve the original video's background, actions, camera movement, lighting, and timing. Only replace the people, keeping everything else unchanged. The ONLY change: [Image 1] replaces the lead in front, and [Image 2] replaces the second man who stands behind on the left. Both change: no cartoon head stays, also when a face is small or half hidden. The lead = the person in [Image 1], in EVERY shot: copy the exact face from [Image 1] (the face shape, eye color and eye shape, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin tone, age, hair color and any beard, moustache, glasses or freckles exactly as in the photo). The man behind = the person in [Image 2], in EVERY shot he shows, copied from [Image 2] in the same way. NO masks: both whole faces show, nose and mouth uncovered, real human faces, never round cartoon heads. Both keep the black beanies, the headsets, the black tactical vests, jackets and gloves from the video; the man behind keeps the rifle across his chest. Both STAND the whole clip. Never blend the two faces: [Image 1] is only the lead, [Image 2] is only the man behind. The same two real people in every frame, so their friends recognize them at once. Never morph, never drift back to the cartoon heads. If an image shows an animal, that one is that animal standing upright in the same gear, with its own face, fur and markings, not a person. The shots, matching [Video 1] second by second (the camera is a handheld camera held close, at chest height): Shot 1 [0-3.5s]: close-ups and a medium shot: the lead stands in the dark locker room and looks straight into the lens, turning the head a little; the second man stands behind on the left with a rifle across his chest.

Each copies every move of the original at the same moment and speed. Real live-action footage, clear facial features. Anatomy rules: one head each, on its own shoulders. A face never appears on hands, gloves, gear or lockers. Two hands with five fingers each. Exactly two people. The gear is only held up to the lens as in the video, never aimed at anyone.

Recreate the reference video [Video 1] shot for shot: the same dark locker room, the same handheld camera angles, cuts, timing and moves. Replace the person in [Video 1] with the pet from [Image 1]. Keep the pet from [Image 1] as the main character. Preserve the original video's background, actions, camera movement, lighting, and timing. The ONLY change: the lead with the round cartoon head is now the pet in [Image 1], STANDING upright on its hind legs the whole clip, in the same black tactical vest, holding the gear up in its front paws like him. The lead = 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. No mask, no beanie: the whole animal face shows. It stays that animal, with animal paws, never human hands, never a human face, never a cartoon head. The same pet in every frame, so its owner recognizes it at once. The second man behind on the left stays exactly as in the video. The shots, matching [Video 1] second by second (the camera is a handheld camera held close, at chest height): Shot 1 [0-3.5s]: close-ups and a medium shot: the pet stands in the dark locker room and looks straight into the lens, turning the head a little; the second man stands behind on the left with a rifle across his chest.

Shot 5 [7.4-8.8s]: hard cut, the pet holds a small black radio in both front paws close to the lens. Shot 6 [8.8-11s]: hard cut, the pet flicks a small black tool toward the lens, holds up a small red spray canister next to the face, then raises one front paw to the brow in a short salute. Real live-action footage, a real animal. Anatomy rules: one head only, one muzzle, no human hands on the pet. The gear is only held up to the lens as in the video, never aimed at anyone. No new text, no captions, no logos, no watermark.

The song, the meme and the tutorials

Your video comes with the sound of the AI clip it copies. You can turn it off on the result screen.

The End of Watch locker scene song of the 2023 meme is the "original sound - xylo" clip of "Twirlanta", the rap line "my stepper gon' brush him, if I press the button". If you search for the Jake Gyllenhaal locker scene song, this is the sound you hear under the 2023 editions. It is not in our video: add it on TikTok when you post if you want it. The film's own audio is not included either.

The Jake Gyllenhaal police locker scene tutorial posts on TikTok send you to a Kling AI template: you copy a video link, paste it into the app and swap one photo. Here there is no link and no app: you add your photo and press Generate.
