For speakers, writers and analysts
The minute of your talk everyone remembers.
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.
“Why can’t we just print more money?” · Editorial collage · 56s. Transcript and details
Why it works for talks and presentations.
A story, not a slide
The director finds the concrete example that carries the idea, like one loaf of bread priced in two eras, and builds the film around it.
Numbers that are exact
Data-journalism dark, Swiss modernist, blueprint and kinetic typography are drawn in code, so charts and figures stay precise.
Fits your deck
A 1080p MP4 that drops into PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides, plus captions for the room and a poster frame.
Your voice, your call
11 narrator voices, and you can rewrite any line in the storyboard before it is recorded.
Vertical for the follow-up
Make a 9:16 take of the same film to post after the talk.
Cheap enough to try
Real films have cost roughly $5–$12 of model spend each, so you can make three versions and pick one.
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.

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.
