How it is made

The Carson Shearer Dance AI prompt and model

Carson Shearer Dance AI is made with Seedance 2.0 / 2.5 (you pick the tier) by ByteDance. The prompt behind it has 5 parts, and the timing is what makes or breaks it.

Model
Seedance 2.0 / 2.5 (you pick the tier)
Mode
Photo + motion reference to video
Length
12 seconds, 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9
Input
1 photo
  1. Replace the dancer Your photo supplies the face, hair, clothes, build and skin tone of the only person in the clip.
  2. Motion reference A 12-second clip sets the squat, the overhead arms, the bend and the sped-up timing.
  3. Jump cuts The hard cuts between camera angles stay, because they are half of the joke.
  4. Fixed scene The bedroom stays as it is, and nothing from the original dancer's outfit is kept.
  5. Rules and sound One adult, no text or lip sync, and the trend's sound is added after the render.
How it opens
Replace the man in the black graphic T-shirt and black track pants in Video 1 with the person from your photo.…

Why it goes wrong when you do it yourself

  • Without a motion reference the routine turns into generic bouncing.
  • The jump cuts are easy to lose, and a single smooth shot no longer reads as this meme.
  • Hands and faces smear in the fast overhead arm moves, so most people need several tries.
  • Each try costs model credits and several minutes.

How to make your Carson Shearer Dance AI video

Add one photo

Use a photo of yourself with the face clear and your whole body in frame, because the wide shots show your legs and shoes.

Pick the model and the format

Choose the model and resolution, then 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, 1:1 for a square post, or 16:9 for a wide cut.

Generate and download

Press Generate and the 12-second clip is rendered for you. It is an MP4 with no watermark and with the trend's sound on it.

Post it

The sound is already on the clip, so you can post it as it is. Turn on the platform's AI-generated label.

What is the Carson Shearer Dance AI trend?

Updated · videosi is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or with the owners of any trend, song, game or brand named on its pages.

The Carson Shearer dance is a TikTok meme built on one person dancing alone in a bedroom. In the routine he drops into a wide squat with his arms folded at chest height, throws both arms overhead, pumps his elbows, bends deep forward and finishes with a hand on his hip, while hard jump cuts throw the camera from angle to angle. The clip is slightly sped up, and that stiff, too-fast look is the joke.

TikTok user car.shearer posted the original on 21 July 2020, set to Collard Greens by ScHoolboy Q. Know Your Meme records over 1.3 million views in its first week and spread on Twitter and Instagram from late July 2020. A green-screen copy from 27 July 2020 turned it into an edit template, so the dancer was dropped into games and films and joked about as a video game idle animation. Carson filmed the dance again later, and that January 2025 remake has over 36 million views.

The AI wave is much newer and still small. AI versions with Bigfoot and period-drama characters doing the routine have appeared on TikTok since January 2026, and we saw new ones in October 2026. That is why this page calls the revival emerging even though the meme is six years old.

The videosi version puts you in the routine, not Carson. You add one photo of yourself, and the 12-second video keeps the moves, the jump cuts and the room, with your face, hair and clothes. The sound from Carson's remake is on the finished MP4. This effect has not been test rendered.

Carson Shearer Dance AI: shot by shot

  1. 0–2 s

    Wide squat

    Wide shot of the bedroom: a deep squat with the arms folded at chest height, pulsing on the beat.

  2. 2–3 s

    Low-angle cut

    Jump cut to a low angle as the arms go overhead.

  3. 3–6 s

    Elbow pumps

    Jump cut to a close side angle: arms overhead, then the elbows pump down by the torso.

  4. 6–8 s

    Knee pop and bend

    Back to the wide shot: the knees pop, then a bend forward with one arm swinging out.

  5. 8–9.5 s

    New corner

    The camera jumps to a tilted angle across the room for a deep bend and an arm sweep.

  6. 9.5–10.5 s

    Spin past the lens

    The back turns to a close camera in a fast, blurry swing.

  7. 10.5–12 s

    Hand on hip

    A wide tilted shot with one hand on the hip and small side steps to finish.

Tips for a better result

  • Show your whole body

    The wide shots show legs and shoes for most of the clip, so a full-body photo gives the model your real outfit.

  • Use one person

    The clip has a single dancer, and a group photo can confuse which face to use.

  • Leave the sunglasses off

    Clear eyes help hold your face through the low angles and fast cuts.

  • Choose even light

    A sharp, evenly lit photo holds up better through the fast arm moves than a dark or filtered one.

Good to know before you make a Carson Shearer Dance AI video

  • The meme dates from July 2020. Only the AI versions are new, and that wave is still small.
  • This is a photo of you doing the routine in the same bedroom. It is not a video of Carson Shearer, and videosi is not affiliated with him or with ScHoolboy Q.
  • The mouth does not follow any lyric, and a platform may still mute the track under its music rules.
  • Likeness is not guaranteed and hands can blur in the fast moves. This effect has not been test rendered. A failed, timed-out or blocked render returns its credits automatically.
  • Everyone in the photo must be an adult who agreed to it.

Turn on the AI-generated label and do not pass it off as real footage of a real person. A platform can still mute the 12-second sound under its music rules, since Collard Greens is a commercial song.
