The goal
A 15-minute documentary listicle for my own faceless channel that explains how each disaster actually worked - the mechanism, not just the death toll - produced by one person from research to upload.
What I did
Research and script for 10 events, each built as cause, chain reaction and aftermath. AI voiceover, stick-figure animation held in one consistent style, maps and counters to show scale, then the edit, sound design, title and thumbnail.
Results
A finished 15.5-minute episode, script to upload, made by one person.
A reusable template for the listicle format - scene kit, caption style and sound rules - so every next episode starts at 60%, not at zero.
Title and thumbnail designed together with the video, not as an afterthought.
Tools
ElevenLabs for voice, DaVinci Resolve for edit and sound, Remotion for code-driven maps and counters, Nano Banana for frames.
