Hey Product Hunt! 👋

If you've been on TikTok, Reels or X this week, you've probably seen it: Barack Obama walking off stage at a rally in Detroit, flicking the mic back over his shoulder without looking, and an aide catching it. A slow-motion repost passed about five million views on X in two days, and the replies called it pure aura farming.

I wanted to put my friends in that walk-off and kept hitting the same walls with general AI video tools: one face at a time, long prompts, and a toss that never landed in anyone's hand. So I built Obama Mic Toss:

🎤 Add one photo for the mic tosser, plus up to two friends as the wingman and the crowd waver

🎚️ Pick Lite (the 4-second toss and catch), Standard (10 s) or Full (all 15 s)

⬇️ Download a horizontal MP4 with the clip's music

What makes it different: the stage, the slow motion, the camera move and the catch already sit in a ready template, so a photo is the only input and there's no prompt to write. The template is our own AI recreation played by fictional people, not the real footage, so your video never shows anyone from the actual event.

New accounts get free credits for one 4-second Lite clip, and failed renders are never charged. Please only use photos of adults who agreed to be in it. It's an independent fan project, not affiliated with Barack Obama, the Obama Foundation or any campaign.

Would love your feedback, and I'd love to see who you send out on stage! 🎤
