2

Press Generate

The button shows the price. Seedance 2.5 films the Golden Ball Prank scene straight from your photo, with no in-between picture, for 12 seconds with original sound. You write no prompt.

Download or share

The video is ready in a few minutes as a 9:16 MP4. Download it, share it from your phone, or find it later in My videos.

Which photo works best?

Use one clear photo of you: from the waist or chest up, your face toward the camera, in good light.

  • Your face and hair stay; the clothes become evening wear. A man's photo gets a black tuxedo, a woman's photo an evening gown, so the clip follows your photo.
  • No sunglasses, no hat, no hand over the face, no beauty filter.
  • One person per photo, an adult (18+). For the Pet version, a sharp photo of your cat or dog, head and body, facing the camera.
  • Never a celebrity, a real footballer, a stranger or a child.

Where did this trend start?

The prank started as a phone-editor AI template on 22 October 2026, four days before the Ballon d'Or ceremony of 26 October. The first template video we found, posted on 22 October, has 133,000 views: a man in a tuxedo sits in a packed theater, walks up the steps, shakes the host's hand and holds the golden ball, under the line "Pranking my parents with this Ballon d'Or filter". The hashtag #ballondorprank started on 23 October. Our clip uses a plain golden football trophy with no logo, an unknown host and no text on screen.

Video prompt

A viral "I won the golden ball" prank video, made from [Image 1]: a cinematic TV broadcast of a grand football awards gala in an old theater with red velvet seats, gold balconies, chandeliers and warm stage lights, vertical 9:16, photorealistic, 4 shots with clean broadcast cuts. The winner in the video is the person in [Image 1], in every shot: copy the exact face and hair from [Image 1] (the face shape, eye color and eye shape, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin tone, age, hair color, hair length and hairstyle, and any beard, moustache, glasses or freckles), so their parents recognize them at once. The face stays the same from the first frame to the last. The clothes become formal evening wear that fits the person in [Image 1]: a black tuxedo with a white shirt and a black bow tie or tie, or an elegant floor-length evening gown. THE TROPHY: a plain shiny golden football, the size of a real ball, with a classic panel pattern, on a simple round black base. No words, no engraving, no logo on it. 0-3 s, shot 1, medium shot in the crowd: the person sits in a red velvet seat among applauding guests in evening wear. The winner is called; the person looks surprised, puts a hand on the chest, then stands up and smooths the jacket or the gown. 3-6 s, shot 2, from behind: the person walks down the aisle and up the lit steps onto the big stage, the crowd clapping on both sides, spotlights sweeping. 6-9 s, shot 3, side view on the stage: the host, a gray-haired man in a tuxedo, shakes the person's hand and hands over the golden trophy from a wooden podium. 9-12 s, shot 4, close-up from the chest up, a curtain of soft golden lights behind: the person lifts the trophy with both hands, kisses it, then looks into the camera with a proud, emotional smile, eyes shining. Audio: a deep male host voice says "And the winner is...", then a roar of applause and a warm orchestral swell when the trophy is lifted. No other spoken words, no song with words. The host is an ordinary unknown man, not a famous person. Every guest is an unknown adult. No football player, no club crest, no football kit, no sponsor boards. No text anywhere: no names on screen, no titles, no year, no captions, no subtitles, no words on the trophy, the stage or the screens, no logos, no watermark, no TV channel badge. One winner, a grown adult. Five fingers on each hand.

A viral "my pet won the golden ball" prank video, made from [Image 1]: a cinematic TV broadcast of a grand football awards gala in an old theater with red velvet seats, gold balconies and warm stage lights, vertical 9:16, photorealistic, 4 shots with clean broadcast cuts. The pet in the video is the pet in [Image 1], in every shot: the same species and breed, head shape, ears, eyes, fur colors, markings and fur length, with the natural body of that animal, so its owner recognizes it at once. Real animal anatomy: four legs and paws, never a human body or human hands. It wears only a small black bow tie. THE TROPHY: a plain shiny golden football, the size of a real ball, with a classic panel pattern, on a simple round black base. No words, no engraving, no logo on it. 0-2 s, shot 1: the pet sits on a red velvet seat among applauding guests in evening wear, ears up, looking around. 2-5 s, shot 2: the pet trots down the aisle and hops up the lit steps onto the big stage, the crowd clapping. 5-7 s, shot 3: the host, a gray-haired man in a tuxedo, kneels and sets the golden trophy down on the stage in front of the pet. 7-10 s, shot 4, close-up, a curtain of soft golden lights behind: the pet puts one paw on the trophy and looks proudly into the camera. Audio: a deep male host voice says "And the winner is...", then applause, warm laughter and an orchestral swell. No other spoken words, no song with words. The host is an ordinary unknown man, not a famous person. Every guest is an unknown adult. No football player, no club crest, no football kit, no sponsor boards. No text anywhere: no names on screen, no titles, no year, no captions, no subtitles, no words on the trophy, the stage or the screens, no logos, no watermark, no TV channel badge. One pet only.

How to prank your parents with the Ballon d'Or filter

  • Send it in the family chat with no caption, or with "Mum, Dad, I didn't want to tell you before...".
  • Wait for the first call. Then send the Pet version: "OK, it was the dog."
  • The clip has no text, so you can add your own caption, like "Ballon d'Or 2026 winner", on top.

Golden Ball Prank questions

What is the Ballon d'Or AI filter?

It is an AI video prank that started on 22 October 2026, just before the Ballon d'Or ceremony of 26 October: from one photo, you sit at the gala, walk on stage, shake the host's hand and lift the golden ball. People send it to their parents to make them think they won.

How do I make the Ballon d'Or prank?

Pick You or Pet, upload one clear photo and start. ViralVideoAI makes a 12-second clip of you (10 seconds for a pet) at the gala, with applause and music. You do not need a template app or an editor.

Do I need a tuxedo in my photo?

No. Your face and hair stay as in the photo, and the clothes become evening wear: a black tuxedo for a man, an evening gown for a woman.

Is it the real Ballon d'Or trophy?

No. Our clip shows a plain golden football trophy with no logo and no words, an unknown host and an unnamed gala. It is a fan prank with no link to the real award.

Can I make it with my dog or cat?

Yes. Pick Pet and upload a photo of your pet. It sits in the crowd in a little bow tie, trots up to the stage and poses with the golden ball.

Can I use a photo of a footballer, a child or a celebrity?

No. Use a photo of yourself or of an adult (18+) who agreed to it. We do not make this video of children, celebrities, real players or strangers.
