Most people tried to recreate it with CapCut templates, green screens and a lot of editing.</p> <p>I wanted to see how simple the same idea could be as a web tool. The result is Coldplay Affair AI (<a href="https://coldplayaffair.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://coldplayaffair.com/</a>). You upload one clear photo of each person, or one photo of both, and the AI places them on its own AI-made concert big screen, in their own clothes.</p> <p>A few things I learned while building it:</p> <ul> <li>One continuous 12-second shot feels more convincing than stitched clips.</li> <li>A vertical 9:16 720p MP4 with crowd sound is all TikTok, Reels or a group chat needs.</li> <li>Rendering takes about 3 minutes, so failed renders should return the credit automatically.</li> <li>Photos should be deleted within 24 hours, and everything shown is AI-generated, with no real concert footage.</li> </ul> <p>It is an independent tool and is not affiliated with Coldplay.</p> ai showdev webdev
