Pick your photos
Slot one is the little man - the star of the tiptoe dance. Slot two is the maiden in the straw and is optional. Use clear, front-facing photos with even light: one person per photo, no sunglasses, no heavy hats, faces not cropped.

Choose the cut
The Tiptoe cut (10s) is the viral sequence exactly as people clip it. The Full tale (15s) keeps going: the straw turns to gold, the kiss, the prince reveal. Pick 9:16 for TikTok and Reels, 16:9 for everywhere else.
