We film on the day of your order: the guys say your text and dance to the track you choose, and the finished 40–60 second MP4 video arrives by Telegram, WhatsApp or email.
A man expects socks, a grill set or an envelope of cash. Instead, guys thousands of miles away appear on the screen and call him by name. You can’t see that coming.
Real people are on camera. We make the videos with real teams in the DR Congo and Egypt — no AI, deepfakes or green screen. The photo is printed, the board message is written by hand, and the dance is set to your track.
After that, the reaction does the work. People rewatch this kind of video, show it to guests and forward it to group chats. Since 2021 we’ve filmed more than 45,000 video greetings, and we see the same thing every time: for the first few seconds, the person can’t believe it’s about them.
His favorite track, a short joke on the board — and the group chat stays lively all evening.
Warm words of thanks, a photo from the family archive in the frame, calm music.
The guys congratulate him on the new position, and coworkers forward the video to each other faster than any card.
His first name and patronymic, wishes for success, a neutral track — the businesslike tone stays intact.
Energy, drums, his name said out loud and none of that formal stiffness.
You pick a team, write your message and the chalkboard line, and attach a photo and a track. Stuck on the wording? Describe your idea in the order comment, and we’ll suggest an option.
Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay (available in 50+ countries, except Russia). You don’t have to pay right away: send a request, and a manager will go over the details and help you place the order.
We film on the day of your order, and the file arrives as soon as 2 hours after payment — by Telegram, WhatsApp or email. If what we filmed doesn’t match the brief, we’ll reshoot it.
Start, for $24, means your text said out loud and a dance to the team’s music. Hit, for $63, adds a chalkboard message, an A4 photo, your music and a choice of frame orientation: it’s the package most often chosen for a man’s occasion. Premium, for $95, means video editing and a logo on the board, and King, from $113, a personal script and directing.
Want to try the format first? Take Start. Want photos in the frame and your own track? Most people choose Hit. Need advanced editing options for business tasks? Go with Premium.
The final price is calculated at checkout: some options are paid separately.

It’s not a photo slideshow set to music or an animated e-card. A team of guys steps in front of the camera: they say the recipient’s name and the text you sent, dance to your track and hold a printed photo in the frame. The result is a 40–60 second MP4 video. People show it on a projector at a restaurant, put it on a big screen at the office or just send it to a chat. We’ve been working since 2021 and have filmed more than 45,000 of these videos. For us it’s work; for the recipient, it’s a surprise.
The form takes three steps and a couple of minutes, with no sign-up needed. From you: the recipient’s name, a message of up to 75 characters, a chalkboard line of up to 60 characters, a photo and a music link. Then you choose who films: 25 options in the catalog, from The Charmers to the Legend VIP script. You can also order a video greeting without prepayment — then a manager will contact you, go over the details and help you put the order together. The process is the same everywhere — it’s explained on our general page about custom video greetings.
Your order goes to the team: the guys learn the name, prepare the board and set the dance to the track you sent. We film on the day of your order, and the finished video arrives as soon as 2 hours after payment. Our main base is the Democratic Republic of the Congo; Pyramid Drummers and Desert Caravan work in Egypt: drums at the foot of the pyramids and live camels in the desert. No AI, no deepfakes, no green screen — everything in the frame is filmed live. The text is said in English; on request, we film it in Russian.
If the date is close, the Express option for $15 helps — your order moves to the front of the queue. The opposite happens too: a large 1×1 m photo takes up to three days, so it can’t be combined with Express.
The most popular order is a birthday video greeting: the name on the board, warm words from the team and a dance to a track from his playlist. For a milestone birthday, people take higher packages: up to two A4 photos in Hit, up to five in Premium, and in King a large 1×1 m photo or up to eight photos plus a personal script. Defender of the Fatherland Day (February 23) and a promotion are a different story: a short greeting video without long wishes, but with drums, fits better there. Want to liven up the frame? Add an action: flexing muscles, showing a gesture or singing Happy Birthday.
The package sets the price of the video: $24 for Start, $63 for Hit, $95 for Premium, from $113 for King. You add the rest yourself: video editing with titles and color correction — $14, a second camera angle — $45, extra time — $40, extra A4 photos — from $5. You see the total at the last step of checkout. No extra charges appear after filming. Ordering a video greeting the second time costs less — a 10% discount, and 15% for the third and later ones.
A custom poem gets read aloud by the person it was written for, and a card is lost within a week. A greeting video lives on: people rewatch it, show it to guests and drop it in the family chat. The difference is also in how personal it is: the name is said out loud, not dropped into a template. The music is what he listens to in the car, and the line on the board is in your own words. A video greeting works both on its own and as an add-on to the main gift: a watch box gets opened in silence, but the whole table bursts out laughing at a video from Africa. We showed what this looks like at a real milestone birthday in our story about what to give your husband for his birthday.
For a rugged guy, go with Flex Squad and Red Caps: a hard beat and a minimum of sentiment. A reserved man will like Gentlemen in Blue: a polite greeting and an even delivery. For a fan of something unusual, there’s Buba’s Crew, led by Buba, plus Power Beat and Rhythm Collective. Hoops Team and Game Day Fans cover a sports theme, and Pirate Crew a sea theme. The choice depends on the package: 7 teams in Start, 17 in Hit, 24 in Premium and all 25 options in King.
The format works for bosses too, if you get the tone right. His first name and patronymic, wishes for the team’s success, a neutral track, no borderline jokes — that way the video comes across as a thoughtful gesture from the department, not a prank. A short wish with his name fits the board, and thanks for his work fits the spoken part. You can also make a video in a corporate format: a company logo or a drawing on the board is available in Premium and up, and the vertical 9:16 frame comes in handy if the video goes into corporate Stories.
With friends, there’s more room: references to shared stories, nicknames and a favorite track from college days all work. There’s one limit for everyone: we don’t accept texts and songs with profanity, or jokes about personal topics that the recipient would be embarrassed to show his family. If the wording seems ambiguous, write it in the order comment: we’ll suggest how to rewrite it so the joke stays and the awkwardness goes.
The music link must open for listening — private tracks and private playlists won’t work. Send photos in good quality: the photo is printed on A4, and a small face from a group photo can’t be made out in the frame. You must be 18 or older to place an order. And finally: we don’t publish photos or videos from your order without permission, and we don’t share customer data with third parties.
We film on the day of your order. The finished file arrives as soon as 2 hours after payment — by Telegram, WhatsApp or email. If the date is very close, add the Express option for $15: your order goes to the front of the queue. One exception is the large 1×1 m photo: it takes up to three days and can’t be combined with Express. We schedule filming right after checkout, so the sooner you send the text and photos, the calmer the day will be.
In English, or in Russian on request. We don’t promise other languages. You can hear an accent, but the name is said so it’s easy to recognize, and we go over the text with the team in advance so the phrase holds together. If the name is tricky, write it the way it sounds out loud — the team will read it from your spelling.
If it doesn’t match the brief, we’ll reshoot it. If you’re not happy with the quality, tell us within 24 hours of receiving the video: the project has a separate quality-control team, and we’ll agree on the revisions. Describe exactly what to fix — intonation, emphasis, the wording on the board. There’s no fixed number of revisions; the only benchmark is the original brief. For the full terms, see our guarantees page.
Yes. If we are at fault or we agree together to cancel, we refund the full amount. Under our public offer (Kazakhstan), we review refund requests within 10 business days. We work officially, under a public offer agreement, so the same terms apply to every order. Canceling before filming? Message your manager and we’ll sort it out case by case.
Texts and songs with profanity. We also talk customers out of double meanings and jokes about personal topics: the video is usually watched with other people around. Everything else is up to you: up to 75 characters for the spoken part and up to 60 characters for the board, spaces included. A long greeting is better split up: a short phrase for the board, the main idea for the spoken part. You must be 18 or older to place an order.
Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay (available in 50+ countries, except Russia). You choose the method at the last step. You can also skip paying right away: send a request, and a manager will contact you and help you order a video greeting for your date. Payment is made before filming: the team steps in front of the camera with the brief already prepared.
The same way as to anyone else: the MP4 file comes to you, and then you forward it by messenger or email. Time zones don’t affect filming — the order goes to the team right after checkout. We don’t share customer data with third parties, and we publish a video only with your permission. You can also show it in person — on a phone, a projector or a big screen in the hall.
A photo isn’t required — you can make a video greeting without one: in Start, the video relies on the spoken message and the dance. Photos in the frame and a chalkboard message come with the Hit package — up to two A4 photos, and up to five in Premium. A name and a short wish look good on the board; for the spoken part, one or two ideas without long lists. If you have just one photo, pick a close-up portrait: the face should be recognizable even during a fast dance.
Go by the style of delivery, not by novelty. Into sports and the gym — Flex Squad or Hoops Team. Values restraint — Gentlemen in Blue. Drawn to adventure — Pirate Crew, Buba’s Crew, Power Beat. A tender occasion like an anniversary is covered by The Serenaders. Not sure? Describe him in the order comment: we’ll suggest which team to make the video with for his personality and age.
