Watercolor scenes for history and stories

Soft washes on paper that make history and travel feel like a storybook. How paper reached Europe, how sailors crossed the Pacific without a compass.

Watercolor: what it is

Watercolor style videos paint every scene in soft washes on paper, like the pages of a storybook. Unfaced writes the script from your idea, voices it, paints a scene for each line and adds captions timed to the voice. The watercolor art style sets only the look of the pictures, so you can use it with any subject.

A painted look slows a viewer down in a good way, which suits long calm stories and history episodes. You choose the length, from a short to a 30 minute episode, the voice and its speed, the captions and a quiet music bed. Run it as a series if you want, and approve every video before it publishes.

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.
