This is the walk our solo template follows: @yoyavazquez_'s daylight witch walk (TikTok, 10 Oct 2026), shown with its sound so you know what you're getting. It isn't made with our tool: upload a photo and you take her place, in the costume you pick.

How to make the Ramalama costume walk AI video from one photo

Upload one clear photo of yourself, pick a costume and press Generate. The video follows a depth map of a real Ramalama walk, so the timing matches the original beat for beat: about six seconds of your legs and shoes striding toward a low camera, the whip-up on the whispered "takin' a picture of me", then poses, a twirl and a smile to the lens in a sunny Halloween plaza. Your face stays your face, even under costume make-up. Doing it with friends? The squad walk takes 2–3 photos. You get a vertical MP4 with no watermark, with Róisín Murphy's song or silent, and no prompt is needed. One whole walk is $4.99 with no account; with credits, videos start at 4 credits.

The Ramalama walks everyone is copying

Legs first, then the whip-up on the whisper. In 2025 a witch trio made the format huge; in October 2026 it came back with princesses, gold body paint and whole friend groups.

Even the singer joined in: Róisín Murphy posted her own walk on 20 Oct 2025. @roisinmurphyofficial · Watch on TikTok

How to make the Ramalama AI video in 3 steps

Doing it yourself means a costume, a friend to film you low and whip up on the beat, and a few takes. This page does it from one upload.

  1. 1

    Upload a photo

    One clear, well-lit photo of yourself, face sharp and forward, ideally full body. For the squad walk, add 2–3 photos, one friend each.

  2. 2

    Pick a costume and a version

    Ten costumes or your own outfit. The whole walk is $4.99 with no account ($6.99 in 720p, $8.99 on Premium), or use credits from 4. The price is shown before you generate.

  3. 3

    Generate and download

    Your photo is reviewed first, then the render takes a few minutes. Download the MP4 with the song, or silent to add the TikTok sound yourself, and post it.

What the template recreates

The whole solo walk on the original's timing; the reveal lands on the whisper.

  1. 0–6.25 s

    The legs walk

    The phone is held low on your legs and shoes as you stalk toward it, already in costume, for about six seconds.

  2. 6.25–6.75 s

    The reveal

    On the whispered "takin' a picture of me", the camera whips up to show the whole costume.

  3. 6.75–12 s

    Poses

    A "taking a photo" hand gesture, a shimmy, a hand-on-hip pose, a laugh into the lens. The 10 s cut ends here.

  4. 12–14 s

    Twirl and smile

    A full twirl, then a big smile up close to finish the 14 s walk.

What comes from your photo

Your face and hair

Your face stays recognizably yours, even under the costume's make-up, and your hair stays yours unless the costume covers it (a witch hat, a veil, horns or a tiara sit on top).

The costume you pick

The costume replaces the original walker's outfit from head to toe, legs and shoes included, so the opening shot already matches the reveal. Pick "My own costume" to keep the outfit in your photo.

Costumes

Pick your Ramalama costume

Ten Halloween looks, plus the one you're already wearing. In a squad, everyone wears the same theme.

  • Witch

    Pointed black hat, black dress or robe, striped stockings and boots, smoky eyes. The classic.

  • Vampire

    High-collar black cape lined in red, pale skin, dark red lips and small fangs.

  • Zombie

    Torn, dusty clothes and grey-green skin. Spooky, not gory.

  • Skeleton

    A bone-print bodysuit from neck to ankle and black-and-white skull face paint.

  • Devil

    Little red horns, a red dress or suit and an arrow-tipped tail.

  • Angel

    All white, feathered wings and a gold halo.

  • Black cat

    All black, cat ears and a tail, cat-eye liner and whiskers.

  • Pumpkin

    A round orange pumpkin top and a leafy green hat.

  • Ghost bride

    A tattered white gown or suit, a long torn veil and pale, hollow-eyed make-up.

  • Sparkly princess

    A glittering sky-blue ball gown, long gloves and a crystal tiara: the fairy-tale look that keeps going viral.

  • My own costume

    Already dressed up? Keep the costume and make-up from your photo.

Costumes are generic Halloween looks, not copies of film characters. Want a specific character? Upload a photo of you in it and pick "My own costume".

What is the Ramalama trend?

The Ramalama costume walk is a TikTok format set to Róisín Murphy's "Ramalama (Bang Bang)". The phone is held low on someone's legs and shoes as they stalk toward the camera for six or seven seconds; on the whispered "Takin' a picture of, takin' a picture of me!" it tilts or whips up to reveal the full costume, and they pose or wave. The usual caption is "Did I win this trend?".

It started in the summer of 2025 and exploded that Halloween, when a witch trio walking a night street passed 94 million views. In October 2026 it came back bigger: around 430,700 TikTok videos use the sound (RouteNote, 9 Oct 2026), and New Engen ranks the costume walk #2 in its October 2026 TikTok trends.

What song is it? Is it an AI song?

The song is "Ramalama (Bang Bang)" by the Irish singer Róisín Murphy, from her 2005 album Ruby Blue. It's a real song, not an AI one. The whispered "Takin' a picture of, takin' a picture of me!" is the cue for the reveal, which is why people search for the "take a picture" or "taking a picture" song.

Your video follows the original walk's timing, so the reveal lands on the whisper, and the song is added in your browser when the render is done. You can also download it silent: many people post without sound and pick the trend's sound inside TikTok, so the post links to the trend.

Searching "ramalama ai"? You may also find RamaLama, Red Hat's open-source tool for running AI models locally. It's unrelated: this site makes costume walk videos.

Ramalama AI is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Róisín Murphy, her label, TikTok, CapCut, Red Hat or any of the trend's creators. The templates are built from depth maps of real walks, for parody and personal posts; use photos of yourself or people who agreed to appear.

Photo tips for the best Ramalama walk

Exact likeness isn't guaranteed, especially mid-twirl, but these habits keep the video closest to your photo.

One person, face sharp and forward

Crop group shots to the person you mean, since two faces can blend. Front or three-quarter views with visible eyes work best.

Bright, even light

A well-lit photo keeps your skin tone and features steady under costume make-up.

Show your whole body

A full-body or knee-up photo gives the model your build for the walk. With "My own costume" it also shows the whole outfit.

Squad: one friend per photo

Photo 1 is the leader in the centre. Use similar photos (same light, similar framing) so the three of you look like one group.
