How to make a Bulin 47 AI video
Short answer: take one clear, front-facing photo, use the original Bulin 47 × Kevincito street freestyle as the template, swap the face with AI while keeping the original voice and dance, export it as a vertical 9:16 video and post it with an AI label and #bulin47. Bulin 47 Video turns this into a single upload — the photo studio is open now and video generation opens soon.
What you need
- One portrait photo of an adult — yourself, or someone who said yes.
- The template: the street freestyle where Colombian creator Kevin Way (Kevincito) stops Dominican dembow artist Bulin 47 (Hansel Reynoso) with a speaker outside a restaurant in Spain.
- A face swap step: Bulin 47 Video (built for this one template) or a general AI video face swap tool.
- About five minutes. No editing skills required.
Step by step
- Pick one clear portrait. Choose a recent, sharp, front-facing photo of one adult with soft light, face and shoulders visible and nothing covering the face.
- Get the freestyle as your template. The template is the original Bulin 47 x Kevincito street freestyle. Keep the original audio and choreography — that is what makes the meme recognizable.
- Swap the face. Upload the portrait to Bulin 47 Video (one-photo method, opening soon) or run the clip and photo through an AI video face swap tool.
- Export in 9:16. Export a vertical 1080×1920 MP4 so it fills the screen on TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.
- Post with credit and an AI label. Turn on the platform's AI-generated content label, credit the original creators and use #bulin47 so people find it.

The manual method
Many of the viral versions were made with general AI video tools — popular tutorials use Higgsfield's Genjutsu, for example. The workflow is the same in most tools: upload the source clip, upload a face photo, generate, then export. Two things matter most: keep the original audio track, and keep the vertical framing so the dance stays centered.
The one-photo method
Bulin 47 Video does the template work for you. You only upload a portrait in the photo studio; your photo is checked for resolution and framing right in the browser and never leaves your device until generation opens.
The perfect photo
- Front-facing, eyes open, looking into the lens.
- Soft, even light — a window in daylight beats a ring light at night.
- Face and shoulders in frame; no sunglasses, masks, hats or hands.
- At least 512 px on the short side; a recent full-resolution phone photo is perfect.
- No beauty filters or AI-edited selfies — they confuse the face mapping.
- One person only. Group photos produce the wrong face.
Posting: format, hashtags, captions
- Format: 9:16 vertical, 1080×1920, MP4 (H.264).
- Hashtags: #bulin47 #bulin47ai #dembow #damehombro #kevincito #aifaceswap
- Caption ideas: “Me when the speaker comes out 🔊”, “Bulin 47 but it's me”, “Dame hombro 🫱🏽🫲🏽”.
- Credit: mention the original creators (@kevincitooficial11) and that the clip is an AI edit.
- Label: TikTok, Instagram and YouTube all have an AI-generated content label — turn it on.
Consent and safety
Face swaps are fun when everyone is in on the joke. Only use photos of adults who agreed, never use photos of minors, and don't use a real person's face to deceive, harass or embarrass them. Bulin 47 Video is an independent fan project and is not affiliated with Bulin 47, Kevincito or their labels. Want the backstory first? Read who Bulin 47 is and how the trend started.
