A raised glass and a knowing smile

Make a Leo Cheers video from one photo: turn toward the camera, raise your glass and toast beneath fireworks. Create your own Gatsby-style scene on ReelAI.

A knowing smile and a raised glass give the Leo Cheers meme its whole payoff. This direction puts your appearance into a glittering evening gala, with a quiet turn toward the camera and distant fireworks behind the toast. Keep the glass visible from the beginning so the hand has one simple action to complete. The scene draws on the Gatsby-style party look, while the performance is newly generated from your photo. The linked inspiration is a reference for the mood, not a ReelAI-generated result.

Best for

  • Use the toast for a birthday message
  • a promotion reaction or a celebratory reply to friends. The scene works with a tuxedo
  • a beaded evening outfit or clothes already present in a prepared party portrait. One person and one glass keep the expression readable; a busy group scene gives the camera several competing faces to follow.

Make your Leo Cheers toast

  1. Choose your photo

    Choose one sharp chest-up or waist-up portrait with the face and shoulders clear. A prepared image in which the subject already holds a glass gives the strongest control over the hand and prop. Leave space above the head and beside the raised arm. A simple portrait can supply the appearance while the direction introduces the gala setting; it does not insert your face into film footage.

  2. Generate with the template

    Keep the small turn, clear glass lift and fireworks behind the subject, or adjust the gala outfit to suit the occasion.

  3. Review and download

    Follow the fingers and the rim of the glass during the lift. The drink should remain inside the same vessel, the face should keep its shape through the turn and the fireworks should stay behind the subject. Prefer a small, completed toast with a clear smile over an elaborate camera move that hides the hand or replaces the background halfway through.

Gala toast direction

Use this reference direction as a starting point in custom-prompt mode. The template runs fixed instructions; remixing is a separate workflow, not an edit to the preset.

Reference direction

Use the uploaded portrait for one recognizable adult, preserving facial structure, hairstyle, skin tone and body proportions. Establish an elegant evening gala with warm golden bokeh and a softly lit terrace; retain a compatible party setting and outfit when already present. Keep a champagne coupe visible in one hand at lower chest level, with the other hand relaxed. In one steady waist-up shot, have the subject turn gently toward the camera, give a knowing smile, raise the same glass a short distance in a restrained toast and hold the final pose. Add a few distant golden fireworks high behind the subject without obscuring the face. Keep fingers separate, the glass shape stable and the liquid coherent. No new foreground people, abrupt costume changes, movie footage, captions, logos, specified dialogue or requested source recording.

Before you create

Does Leo Cheers recreate the original Gatsby movie shot?

It creates a new gala toast using the appearance in your single photo. The champagne-glass gesture and sparkling party atmosphere are the creative cues. Original movie footage, a particular actor's performance and the source recording are not supplied by this preset. You can adjust the outfit and party details in the creative direction before generating.

Can I change the creative direction?

The preset uses fixed instructions. Copy the reference direction into custom-prompt mode to adapt it; this does not change the preset itself.
