Why it works for team training.
One look for the whole programme
Make the first module, then turn it into a series. Every episode keeps the pilot’s look, voice and characters, so onboarding feels like one course.
Written for professionals
Pick the professionals audience and the director writes the script for people at work, not for a classroom.
Check before it is made
Read the full storyboard, with every line of narration, and correct anything policy-sensitive before a single frame is animated.
Built for where people watch
A 720p copy for Slack, email and phones, a 1080p MP4 for the LMS, and captions as SRT and VTT.
Your brand on it
Your colours, fonts, logo and end card from a saved brand kit.
Every language your team speaks
The same module in 24 languages, narrated and captioned.
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.

Lessons and courses
Type the question your class is asking. Get back a narrated, animated film pitched at the right level, with captions, in about 15 minutes.
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.
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.
