The flying broom AI trend, also called "my ride is here", is a 10-second video shot from a car window in which a person sits sideways on a witch's broom beside traffic, grins at the camera and flies off down the road. To make one, upload a single photo to the flying broom AI page on videosi (videosi.io), choose your own outfit or a witch hat and dress, pick a format and press Generate. You write no prompt.
Key takeaways
- The flying broom AI trend, also called "my ride is here", is a 10-second car-window clip: a rider on a broom floats beside traffic, grins at the camera and flies off.
- videosi makes it from one photo of you, with no prompt, in 9:16 or 16:9 and with no watermark.
- A standard 10-second video (Standard model, 720p) costs 9 credits; there is no free generation, and a failed render returns its credits.
- The clip is meant to look like real phone footage, so turn on the AI label when you post.
- The street, car and broom are fixed; you choose only the photo, the outfit and the format.

What is the flying broom AI trend, and how do I make it?
Tutorials for the trend began appearing on TikTok in the last week of September 2026, and by mid-October it was among TikTok's trending topics, two weeks before Halloween on 2026-10-31. Who started it is unconfirmed, and so is the song people use, so this guide does not name either.
The clip is made by an AI video model, not filmed. It takes your photo for the face, hair and build, plus a short silent reference clip for the framing and timing, and a written prompt for the broom and the street. On videosi the reference and the prompt are built in.
Why is the flying broom AI video shot from a car window?
The car window is the whole joke. It turns an impossible scene into something that feels like a snapshot from a boring commute, because everyone has looked out of a passenger window at the car next to them. A person on a broom at exactly the height of the glass is absurd precisely because the framing is so ordinary.
The ending uses the same trick. After the rider grins, the camera swings from the side window to the windshield, and you watch them speed away down the road ahead. A single seat, a single turn of the head and one pan carry the entire story. The full five-beat breakdown, from the empty crossing to the shrinking figure, is on the flying broom AI page.
Why does the flying broom AI video look like real phone footage?
It looks real because every choice copies how phone video behaves. The light is plain daylight, the street is a dull suburban crossing with painted stripes, traffic lights and houses with lawns, and the camera is slightly handheld. Nothing in the frame is polished, and a clip that looks accidental is more convincing than one that looks designed.
The broom matters too. It is a plain wooden handle with a bundled straw head, not a glowing prop, and the rider keeps the same relaxed seated pose, knees bent and hands on the handle. A soft shadow on the asphalt below the broom helps the brain accept that the person is really hovering there.
Finally, the model is told to avoid the things that give AI footage away: no extra people, no readable licence plates, no logos, no text and no slow motion. The motion itself comes from a reference clip, so the hover, the grin at about the five second mark and the whip pan follow human-filmed timing. ByteDance describes Seedance 2.0 as accepting images, audio and video as references for control over performance and camera movement (see the Seedance 2.0 page from ByteDance Seed), which is the kind of input this trend relies on.
Why are mums and grandmothers the usual riders?
Because the contrast is the point. The funniest riders are the people who would never sit on a broom for real, and the trend rewards the person least likely to be on one: a mum who always drives the careful route, a grandmother in her cardigan, a friend who hates anything adventurous.
One rule is not negotiable: use photos of adults who have agreed. The flying broom AI page works from one photo of any consenting adult, and videosi does not accept photos of celebrities, public figures or minors. Ask first, show them the result and let them decide whether it gets posted.
Do I need to label the flying broom AI video as AI?
Yes, label it. The video is fully AI-generated and deliberately looks like real footage, which is exactly the kind of content platforms ask creators to disclose. YouTube's help page says creators must disclose realistic AI-generated or meaningfully altered content using the "AI use" setting during upload, and that repeatedly failing to disclose can lead to a label being added for you or to penalties (see YouTube's help page on disclosing altered or synthetic content).
TikTok and Instagram have their own AI-content labels and settings. Their wording changes, so look for the option in the upload screen of the app you post from rather than relying on a screenshot from a tutorial. This guide does not quote their rules, because we could not read their help pages when writing it.
Labelling does not spoil the joke. People enjoy a broom ride more when they know the friend on it never left the sofa, and an honest label lowers the risk of the post being taken down or of someone believing it. If the rider is another person, tell them it is AI too.
Which photo should I choose for the flying broom AI video?
Choose a front-facing photo in even daylight that shows more than your face. The rider is seen from head to feet, so a picture with shoulders and body gives the model less to invent. A tight face crop works against you, because the legs and hands then appear from nowhere.
Light matters because the street is in clear daylight. A photo taken outdoors or beside a window blends in better than a dim indoor shot. Leave sunglasses and heavy filters out as well: the whole clip peaks on the grin at about five seconds, and covered eyes make the likeness drift at precisely that moment.
Should I ride in a witch outfit or my own clothes?
Both work, and they give different jokes. Your own clothes are the "everyday commute" version: you float past in a hoodie or a work jacket as if a broom were just another vehicle, which is how many of the first clips looked. The witch hat and long black dress is the Halloween version, and it reads instantly even in a one-second preview.
One thing to know about the witch option: the brim of a tall pointed hat can shade the face, which sometimes weakens the likeness at the grin. If that happens, try again or switch to your own clothes. Your face, hair and build always come from your photo, and the broom and street stay the same in both versions.
Why do AI models add sparkles to a witch on a broom?
Because the word "witch" pulls a model toward fantasy. Ask for a witch on a broom and many AI video models add glitter, glowing trails, wings or a fairy-tale sky, since that is what most of their training images of witches look like. That ruins a deadpan clip that depends on looking like phone footage.
The fix on videosi is to say what must not happen. The built-in setup keeps the rider seated the whole time, allows one rider and one broom, and bans sparkles, wings and magic trails. We do not publish the full prompt here, but the rules are plain: hold the identity, copy the motion, keep the broom ordinary. If you want to see what that produces, the flying broom AI page shows examples.
Can I use my own car or street in the video?
No. The street, the car and the broom are fixed, so you cannot choose your own road, your own vehicle or your own house. The only things you choose are the photo, the outfit (your own clothes or the witch hat and dress) and the shape of the video, either 9:16 or 16:9.
When should I post the broom video before Halloween?
Post in the next two weeks, not on the 31st itself. Tutorials for the trend appeared on TikTok in the last week of September 2026, and it reached the trending topics in mid-October, so the people who search for it are already looking. By Halloween itself, feeds are full of costumes and a broom clip is one of hundreds.
How much does the flying broom AI video cost?
The flying broom AI video is not free: there is no free generation and no free trial. A standard 10-second video (Standard model, 720p) costs 9 credits, and better models or higher resolutions cost more. Credit packs start at $6.99 for 10 credits and never expire, and plans start at $29.90 a month.
A failed, timed-out or blocked render returns its credits automatically, and the finished MP4 has no watermark. The pricing page lists every pack and plan.
