About AI Zombie Trend
Who builds AI Zombie Trend, how the two-photo pipeline works end to end, and the consent, moderation and deletion rules the product is built against.

What this is
AI Zombie Trend is an online generator for the viral "zombie love story" short — a 15-second, scored, four-shot film built from two of your photos. Upload one photo of the survivor and one of the turned, say whether the second photo is a person or your pet, and pick the world it happens in — a cabin, a grey shore, a rainy street or a snowy doorstep. The workbench writes the prompts, orders the shots and adds the sound design. The result is a watermark-free MP4 sized for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, or in 16:9 for YouTube and a wider frame.
There is no prompt box here on purpose. The format lives or dies on its storyboard, so the storyboard is fixed on our side and the only creative decision left to you is which two photographs.
The pipeline, end to end
Two photographs in
Photo one becomes Character A, the survivor; photo two becomes Character B, the one who has turned. Both go to the model as character references rather than as a single starting frame, which is what lets two identities stay recognisable through four shots and two completely different lighting setups. Each upload is capped at 10 MB and re-encoded in your browser before it leaves your device.
One story template, two dials
A film is one world times one subject. The four worlds — cabin, shore,
street, doorstep — share one template body and change only their setting:
where the survivor stands, what they are holding, what the weather does to a
crying face, and what the last five seconds cut into. The subjects — person
or pet — change the pronouns, which identity the model is told to preserve
(a breed and a coat matter more than a hairstyle), and how Character B covers
the room. Either way the four beats stay fixed: the cold open at 0–4 seconds,
the undead close-up at 4–6, the lowered hand and open arms at 6–10, the match
cut into the warm world at 10–15. Templates are composed server-side and never
shipped to the browser, so they can be retuned without a release.
The render
Films are rendered by third-party text-to-video models we integrate — the current product runs on ByteDance Seedance 2 VIP, at a 480p endpoint for 20 credits and a 720p endpoint for 40. Resolution is the only thing that costs more: same fifteen seconds, same four shots, same grade, same sound design. Most jobs finish in 10–15 minutes and keep running when you close the tab.
Delivery
The finished film lands in your library with a private link and downloads as a full-quality MP4. Nothing is charged for a job that does not produce a film — credits are reserved at the start and returned automatically when the render fails upstream, is blocked in review, or expires.
Consent, moderation and what gets deleted
This is the part of the product we treat as load-bearing rather than housekeeping, so it is worth stating precisely.
- Consent is a declaration you make, and we keep it. Before the render is accepted, you confirm that the faces are your own, your own pet, or adults who agreed to appear. Not children, and not celebrities or public figures. The declaration is stored with the job, which is what makes a report actionable instead of a matter of guessing.
- Three checks, in that order. The story text, then each uploaded photograph, then the finished clip. Cheap checks come first, so a submission that cannot proceed is stopped before any credits are committed.
- Photos are input, not inventory. The images you stage are removed from storage within 24 hours whether the render succeeded, failed, or never ran, and they are never used to train models. EXIF such as GPS coordinates is stripped in your browser, so location data never reaches us at all.
- Nothing is public by default. Finished films stay in your private library. The public example wall only ever shows a clip whose owner ticked the share opt-in at submit time, and every one of those carries an "AI generated" badge — viewers should not have to guess what they are looking at.
- Takedown on request. If a clip used your likeness without permission, or you shared one and changed your mind, email jiusongvip@gmail.com and it comes down.
The full mechanics of each of these live in the Privacy Policy, the Terms of Service and the Refund Policy.
What it costs, and what we refund
Credit packs are one-time purchases with no subscription and no expiry: $5.99 for a first film, $39.90 for ten, $126.00 for sixty, which is $2.10 a film. Credits spent on a render that never delivered a film come back automatically. Cash refunds cover a pack whose credits are entirely unspent, claimed within 7 days, and any purchase that never reached your balance. Pricing has the per-film math for both tiers.
Who is behind it
AI Zombie Trend is an independent developer project, not a media studio. The same person builds the generator, tunes the story templates, writes the guides in the blog, answers the support mail — and renders their own zombie films with it. There is no marketing team to route you to and no office address to list; the honest description of the company is one developer and one inbox.
The site is a single application: TanStack Start on React, Drizzle over a Cloudflare D1 database, better-auth for accounts, and the render workhorse behind a set of API routes. It is deployed as one unit, which is why provider configuration and template changes reach you without a queue.
