Here is how to put yourself in the 15-second vertical version from one photo, plus the exact shot-by-shot prompt if you want to see how it works under the hood.

How do I make a Stones to Castle AI video step by step?
1) Choose one sharp, front-facing photo of one adult with your face well lit (head-and-shoulders or waist-up). 2) Open Sendare's Stones to Castle AI page and upload the photo. 3) Pick a one-time pack ($9.90 for 1 video, no subscription) and press Put me in the video. 4) Wait 5 to 12 minutes while Seedance 2.5 renders the 15-second 9:16 character swap. 5) Download the 720p MP4 with the Unstoppable soundtrack already synced (or grab the Silent MP4 option on your order page).
What photo works best for the Stones to Castle trend?
A clear front-facing photo where your face is large and evenly lit, with no sunglasses or hats. Your real clothes do not matter because the template dresses you in the tailored red suit in the mountain valley and the sleeveless black top inside the carved Gothic castle window at 12.8–15 seconds.
What is the exact prompt for the Stones to Castle AI video?
The original creator did not post a prompt. Our 15-second vertical recast prompt breaks the reel into 8 timed cuts: 0–1.8s wide crowd throwing grey stones; 1.8–3.1s overhead meadow crouch as stones land harmlessly on the grass; 3.1–4.3s calm stand in the red suit without flinching; 4.3–5.4s shouting woman in leather jacket; 5.4–7.4s hand with silver ring picking up a stone; 7.4–11s dry stone wall growing into Gothic castle walls and spires; 11–12.8s crowd staring up open-mouthed; 12.8–15s close-up proud smile in the Gothic window. The full copyable prompt is on our Stones to Castle template page.
Does anyone get hit or injured by the stones?
No. Both the reference reel and our safety-checked prompt ensure the stones only land on the grass around you — nobody is hit, and there is no blood or injury.
Can a man make the Stones to Castle video?
Yes. Seedance 2.5 preserves your exact face, beard, skin tone and hairstyle from your photo while placing you in the valley's red suit and the castle window.
