FORMATS

Kids’ lessons with rigged characters that actually lip-sync.

Four elementary formats, each a fixed skeleton with its own cast, world and music mood. Characters are parameterised SVG rigs with real viseme lip-sync; every lesson passes a deterministic pedagogy check before a semantic QA pass, and think-time pauses are real silence in the audio.

What it does

The detail that makes it work.

A real cast

Rigged characters with poses, expressions and nine mouth shapes — never AI-generated faces.

Checked, not hoped

Counting order, letter sounds, comparisons and quiz answers are verified by code before anything renders.

Standards tagged

Each episode plan carries the standards it addresses.

Pairs well with these.

Cinematic documentariesA narrative director plans the film; stock clips, AI images with Ken Burns motion and short AI video clips bring it to life — for any subject.Whiteboard Sketch lecturesHand-drawn boards that sketch themselves part by part, each part drawn on the sentence that names it — in fifteen drawing styles.Paper Cutout lecturesVox-style collage boards — hand-cut paper, torn edges, tape and bold cut-out headlines — with a camera that moves on the narration.MotionCraft bespoke animationA director plans a design system for the whole lecture; each scene is then written as its own animation and rendered in isolation.MathMotion lecturesA Manim-only format for STEM subjects: fluid typeset math, plotted functions and geometry that moves as the narration explains it.Promos, how-tos & recipesSix formats for marketing promos, how-to guides, recipes, coaching and listicles — kinetic type, glass cards, cinematic imagery and speech-synced motion.Mixed-media explainersWhiteboard sketches, paper cutouts, motion graphics and animated math in a single film, split evenly across the lesson.Presentation lecturesPitch decks, business overviews and product launches built from a template catalogue that self-heals its own props.Accessible learning profilesFour accessibility profiles that slow narration, extend pauses and simplify motion — applied per scene, not as an afterthought.Subject lanesDedicated scene libraries and pedagogy per subject: molecule engines for chemistry, orbits for astronomy, schematics for electronics, 3D for biology.Sports BreakdownRules, technique, analysis or the latest news of any sport or game — drawn on a field at its real proportions, with sources on screen.Landscape or vertical, any lecturePick Landscape or Vertical before you generate, and every picture, animation and caption of any lecture type is made for that frame.
