How to Make the Times Square Billboard Video From One Photo

You become the star of a fashion show poster on a giant tower screen in Times Square at night after rain.

Putting your face on a billboard in Times Square is a real thing people pay for. Several screens sell short slots, and couples, parents and small brands film the moment for TikTok.

Where the trend came from

  • A TikTok creator posts how she surprised her boyfriend with a birthday billboard in Times Square; the post has 713,800 views by October 2026.
  • Doug the Pug thanks Santa for putting him on a billboard in Times Square, one of many pet billboard posts.
  • A common edit apps post shows a "Fashion billboard Times Square" AI filter: one photo becomes a fashion ad on a tower screen above a wet street with yellow cabs.
  • A tutorial for a social media billboard AI effect, your profile on a giant roadside board, is posted; it has 1.1 million views by October 2026.
  • An AI video app starts ads for the video version: one selfie becomes the star of a fashion show poster on a giant Times Square screen at night, in the rain.
  • On TikTok, #timessquarebillboard holds 555 videos and 13.2 million views, and #aibillboard 49 videos.

Before you start

You will need one photo. Photo tips that matter for this template:

  • Face to the camera, sharp and well lit, no sunglasses. The video opens close on the giant screen, so your face is big there: make it a clear one.
  • Head and shoulders or waist up works best. The poster gives you a sparkling evening outfit and pink feathered wings; your face and hair stay yours.
  • One person or one pet per photo, so the AI puts the right face on the screen.
  • For a pet: the whole head sharp, eyes open, in daylight. Fluffy pets look great with the pink wings.
  • Use your own photo, or one of a friend who said yes. Never a celebrity or a stranger.

What happens in the clip

| Time | Beat | |---|---| | 0–3s | Open — Establish the Times Square Billboard AI Video frame from your photo(s). | | 3–11s | Signature — close on the screen from the street, looking up: the portrait fills most of the frame, the face large and sharp: exactly; the camera slowly pulls back and tilts down, showing the i | | 11–15s | Close — Keep face and outfit consistent; hold or cut out. |

If something looks off

  • --- — ---
  • The face on the screen looks like someone else — Use a sharp, front-facing photo in good light, without sunglasses, and run it again.
  • You also appear in the street — The prompt keeps you on the screen only, but it can happen. Run it again.
  • Odd letters show on the poster or another screen — The prompt asks for no words or logos anywhere; AI can still draw some. Run it again.
