Same dunk. But you.
Star Dunk AI video generator: you in the air, our defender below
One photo makes you the player who dunks: a split-leg flight over a defender on a night court, then a walk back to the camera, with the original sound. The defender is our own character, the same in every video.
Example made with our AI cast. Your video uses your photo.

About Star Dunk
How Star Dunk works
Star Dunk is a street-basketball clip with two players. One drives toward the hoop, leaps over the defender in a wide split, lifts the ball to the rim and walks back to the camera with a hand raised. You are the one who dunks. The player you dunk on is our own AI character, and that player is the same in every video. SameButMe puts your photo in the air and leaves the defender untouched.
Where it comes from
The moves appear to be redrawn from real footage of a 1v1 street-basketball event in China. AI versions with other characters in the dunker's place spread on TikTok and Instagram in late October 2026, and one of them passed 3 million views.
One of the AI versions on InstagramWhat you get
A vertical 9:16 MP4 of about 8 seconds, from the dribble to the walk-off. It costs 125 credits at 720p or 60 at 480p, and it is usually ready in about 6 minutes.
The photo for the dunker
One photo, and it is yours. You are the player in the air, so the defender needs no photo.
- Knees-up or full body, facing the camera: the jump shows all of you.
- Leave out sunglasses and hats unless you want them in the air.
- Sportswear works, but any outfit goes; it carries into the jump.
Photos of celebrities, public figures or minors are declined. No nudity.
