Stick-figure explainers have been called one of the fastest-growing faceless formats of 2026.

• One curious question per video
• A hook in the first second
• A simple, recognisable visual style
• A calm, clear narrator
• Consistent series and titles viewers can binge

• Write a 30 to 45-second script with Claude or ChatGPT
• Generate scenes with AI video models such as Veo, Kling, or Seedance
• Keep one consistent character with reference images
• Add a calm voiceover and subtle sound effects
• Cut fast and caption every line

• Write original stories or use stories you have rights to
• Create simple character art with an image model
• Animate with image-to-video tools or simple 2D motion
• Use atmospheric music you have licensed

• Research and script with AI, then fact-check
• Animate stick figures with code tools such as HyperFrames or Remotion, or with image-to-video tools
• Keep a consistent stick-figure style and colour palette
• Record your own voiceover or use a voice you have rights to

Write an 8-minute stick-figure explainer script answering “What did people eat 10,000 years ago?” Simple scenes, one idea per scene, a hook in the first 10 seconds, and sources for every fact.

• Mass-produced, repetitive videos can lose monetization under the inauthentic content policy
• Add real research, original scripts, and your own style
• Label realistic AI content when YouTube asks
• Never re-upload other creators’ videos
