“How does a rainbow form?” · Risograph print · 33s. Transcript and details
Why it works for lessons and courses.
Pitched for the room
Pick the audience: children aged 6–11, students, general adults or professionals. The director writes the script for them, not for a textbook.
You check it first
The director stops at the storyboard. Read every scene and line of narration, fix what is wrong, then approve. Nothing is animated before that.
24 languages
Script, narration and captions in 24 languages, from English and Lithuanian to Japanese, Korean and Chinese. Good for language classes and mixed classrooms.
A whole course, one look
Turn any finished film into the pilot of a series. Every new episode keeps its look, voice and characters, so a unit of lessons matches.
Captions included
Every export comes with captions as SRT and VTT, a burned-in option, a poster and a 1080p MP4 for your LMS or slides.
Styles that teach
Chalkboard, whiteboard, Risograph, felt and yarn, nature documentary, pixel art and 17 more, or let the director pick for the topic.
From one sentence to a finished film.
- 01Describe it
One sentence about your topic. Pick a style, a voice, a language and an audience, or leave them to the director.
- 02Review the storyboard
The concept, key art, characters and every scene with its narration. Edit anything, then approve.
- 03The crew gets to work
Painting, narration, a score timed to the scenes, sound effects and animation. A critic model grades the cut.
- 04Change what you want
Ask in chat or pin a note to any moment. Each change is a new version.
- 05Export and share
A 1080p MP4, a 720p copy, captions and a poster.
Briefs to start from.

Other ways teams use Explainers.
Product explainers
Describe the feature, the launch or the problem you solve. Explainers writes it, designs it in your brand kit, voices it and scores it, then hands you an MP4.
Team training
Short, narrated, animated films for onboarding, soft skills and how-tos. One sentence per topic, one look across the whole course.
Talks and presentations
Hard ideas land better as a story. Brief a short film for the tricky part of your talk, drop the MP4 into your slides, and let it do the explaining.
Consider it explained.
