Oil painting

History painted like a museum piece

Classical oil on canvas with dramatic light, like a museum wall. For serious history: why the Titanic had too few lifeboats, when mirrors cost more than masterpieces.

Oil painting: what it is

Oil painting style videos paint every scene as museum-style oil on canvas, with dramatic light and deep shadows. Unfaced writes the script from your idea, voices it, paints a scene for each line and adds captions timed to the voice. The oil painting art style sets only the look of the pictures, so it fits any period you want to cover.

A classical painting gives a history video weight from the first frame, and viewers who like the past stay for it. You choose the length, from a vertical Short to a 30 minute episode, the voice and its speed, the captions and a music bed. Run a series on a schedule if you want, with every video approved by you first.

Made to keep viewers watching

1

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.

2

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.

3

Measured after you publish

Retention curves show where viewers left, and the next episode is planned from your own numbers.
