You can also invent a character, upload your own, or bring your own illustration style.

1. Script. A director writes the story in blocks, each either voice-over or the narrator talking on camera, and a script editor smooths every jump between scenes.
2. Narrator and keyframes. The narrator gets a model sheet and a hero portrait, and every block gets a keyframe in the chosen look.
3. Voice. Each block is narrated, and on-camera lines are fitted to the right length.
4. Shots. Voice-over blocks become animated shots and on-camera blocks become lip-synced shots.
5. Score and edit. A score is composed, the shots are cut to the narration, the sound is mixed, an end card is lettered and subtitles are added.

Every page has a Copy agent prompt button. It copies a step-by-step brief of this pipeline, filled in with the page's topic, look, narrator and voice, so a coding agent with a fal key can make the film from your terminal.
