The default

3D cartoons

2.5D cartoon films, with acting tied to every word and a moving camera.

2.5D cartoon films with word-by-word acting and separate passes for camera, setting, post-processing and shading. Rendered in the browser, no Blender needed.

Illustrated 3D

3D cartoons rendered in Blender: faces that change with every word and a camera that flies between shots.

3D cartoons rendered in Blender: white heads with a drawn face that changes with every word, rubber-hose limbs, sets with an ink line on every edge, day and night lighting and a camera that flies between shots.

The only style that needs Blender. In practice, it also needs an NVIDIA graphics card.

Cube world

A world made of cubes, with biomes, caves and castles, where every line is shown: a new shot every second or two.

Narrated stories in a world made of cubes: terrain by biome, caves and ores, houses, villages, castles and mines, pixel creatures and props, with block figures or cube-headed people who act out every line to the letter; a new shot every second or two, a camera that never stops, white captions at the top and a hit on every punchline.

Block figures

Block figures with sticker faces: a new shot every second or two and a camera that never stops.

Narrated stories with block figures and sticker faces that act out every line to the letter: a new shot every second or two, a camera that never stops, white captions at the top and a hit on every punchline.

Toy bricks

A world of building bricks animated in stop motion: whatever is told gets built brick by brick.

Narrated stories in a world built entirely from plastic building pieces (studded bricks and plates, roof tiles, clear pieces and smooth tiles) on a baseplate on a table: glossy plastic with its reflections, original figures that move with the jitter of stop motion, tilt-shift blur, and houses, rockets or characters that build themselves brick by brick. A new idea every two or three seconds.

Shadow puppets

Legends, myths and folk tales told with dyed-leather puppets, backlit against a glowing screen.

Vertical shadow theater for narrated legends, myths and tales: jointed puppets of dyed, cut-out leather moved on rods, against a screen lit by lamps that go out, light up and change color with the voice. At the climax, a figure steps back toward the light and its giant shadow fills the frame.

Secret agent

Sixties spy-movie title sequences: flat inks, scissor-cut shapes, silhouettes and giant letters.

The opening titles of a sixties spy and heist movie: four flat inks on paper, scissor-cut edges, silhouettes in hats and trench coats that act along with the voice, huge letters that are part of the set, and shapes that slide in and slice the frame. For heists, scams, cons and espionage.

Black-and-white halftone

Horror and mystery stories in the dark: you only see what the flashlight, the lightning or the opening door lights up.

Short horror stories, urban legends and mysteries in black, white and a halftone dot pattern that only shows where the light reaches: a flashlight sweeping down the hallway, lightning that shows the whole room for an instant, a shadow that is not yours. With a voice, or with no narrator and someone texting you on screen.

Case file

Strange cases and true crime on a corkboard: typewritten cards, grainy photos and the red string that ties it all together.

Strange cases, mysteries and true crime, real or made up, told on an investigation board: cards typed out with the voice, instant photos, newspaper clippings, sticky notes, stamps, a magnifying glass that reveals what was hidden and a camera that moves from clue to clue until the red string ties it all together.

Phone screen

Stories told on a phone screen: chats that type themselves, notifications that drop in and a camera that never rests.

Fiction told on a vertical phone screen: a chat that types itself to the rhythm of the voice, notifications dropping in, notes, searches, a map, a missed call or a draining battery, under a camera that pushes in, shakes and falls.

Pencil

A pencil that draws right in front of you, in wallpapered rooms full of egg-headed people, to explain things with humor.

A pencil that writes, underlines and draws arrows while you talk: wallpapered rooms with a window onto the city, egg-headed people and handwritten lettering, to explain an idea with humor.

Paper diorama

Tales and curiosities in a layered cardboard diorama, with its own lamp and a camera that goes inside.

A diorama of cut cardboard in layers at different depths, with soft shadows, tabs and folds; jointed paper characters that rise through a slot in the floor and a lamp that crosses the scene. The camera moves with parallax and, at the climax, goes inside the diorama. For tales, explainers and curiosities.

Print shop

A mid-century risograph poster: three inks, fibrous paper and wood type.

A mid-century poster printed on a risograph: three inks that overlap into a fourth color, fibrous paper, wood type and a roller that turns the page.

Motion design

Vertical product explainers: the spoken word fills the screen, shapes morph and real screenshots appear.

Modern vertical explainers, like the ones made for products and startups: kinetic type that changes with the voice, shapes that morph into one another, line icons, a clicking cursor, figures and charts, and real screenshots of a program inside generic browser, laptop or phone frames.
