The knight cat started as a handful of AI shorts at the end of the summer: a small cat in silver armour and a red cape, alone on a foggy moor with a sword in its paws, not giving an inch to the wind. By the end of September it was everywhere, mostly as a mood: a tiny knight bracing against a storm says a lot about a Monday.
This template puts your own pet in that role. Upload one photo of your cat or dog and you get a 10-second vertical clip in three beats. It opens far away, your pet a speck in the middle of a vast, rain-lashed moor, and the camera slowly closes in. In the middle shot it grips its sword, stuck point-down in the mud, and pulls it free with both paws, mud and rainwater flying off the blade, then holds it up for a moment and lowers it to its side. The last beat is a low, heroic close-up: wet fur, narrowed eyes, staring straight into the storm.
The coat, markings and eye colour come from your photo, so it is clearly your animal, just in fitted armour. It keeps its own paws and tail and never turns into a person. The weather shifts a little from one run to the next, from drizzle in the fog to sideways rain, so if you want a stormier take, run it again.
Use a clear photo with your pet's face in focus and as much of its body in view as you can. The clip comes out clean, with no text on it, ready for your own caption.
For the full walkthrough, with the three shots broken down, which pet photo to pick and what broke while we built this template, read our guide: How to make the knight cat AI video.
