Film noir
Film noir videos for true crime and heists
Black and white with hard shadows, the 1940s look that makes a heist, a scam or a cold case feel like a film.
Film noir: what it is
Film noir videos tell a case in black and white with hard shadows, like a 1940s mystery. Unfaced writes the script from your idea, voices it, draws a noir scene for each line and adds captions timed to the voice. The film noir art style sets only the look of the pictures, so it suits any case you want to tell.
Noir tells the viewer from the first frame that this is a story with a twist, which helps them stay for the reveal. You choose the length, the voice and its speed, the captions, the music and the pacing. Run a series of cases on a schedule if you like. Every episode waits for your approval before it publishes.

Made to keep viewers watching
Hook scored before you render
The opening line gets a hook score while you can still change it, so a weak first three seconds gets fixed before the render.
Every scene checked
An automatic scene review compares each picture with what the narrator says. A scene that fails stays out of Ready until it is fixed or you accept it.
Measured after you publish
Retention curves show where viewers left, and the next episode is planned from your own numbers.
