What it makes

- The claim on a title card from the first frame, then a chain of facts where every sentence is a picture
- Big numbers turned into everyday things, like a cloud that weighs 100 elephants
- Flat-vector scenes drawn in code, with labels that pop in on their word and a new scene every 2 to 3 seconds
- A free local voice, small captions on every word, and music and effects made in code
- A 1080x1920 master for Shorts, Reels and TikTok, plus a 7:8 cut for X under 10 MB
