Phone-on-the-floor pet videos are everywhere: someone sets the camera on the rug, swings it round their cat or dog and gets a strangely cinematic little portrait out of an ordinary afternoon. The orbit is the hard part. You need a smooth circle at pet height, a pet that sits still, and a room that looks good from every side.
This template does it from a single photo. Upload a picture of your cat or dog and it sits in the middle of a round cream rug in a sunlit living room, while the camera starts at its nose, pulls back, goes all the way round it and comes back to its face.
The result is a 7-second 9:16 vertical clip, ready for Reels, TikTok or Shorts. For the best likeness, use a clear, well-lit photo with one pet in it.
