The craft
Studio draws every picture with code and moves it with one continuous camera. No image or video model draws a frame.
01
Drawn by code
A Studio film is a program. The director writes each shape as points and curves, cuts it like paper with a torn edge, lights it from one side and gives it a soft shadow on the sheet below. The kit renders the program frame by frame.
02
Characters with faces
At most two named characters, each with eyes that blink and look, cheeks, and a mouth that smiles, gasps or grins on the word that calls for it.
03
One camera
The honey film has no cuts: the camera pushes into a flower, travels with the bee, and goes through the hive's door into one wax cup. Things enter from the edge of the frame or from inside another thing; nothing pops in.
0.0 to 2.9 s Meadow at golden afternoon. The bee flies in and loops as the question lands. 
2.9 to 6.6 s The camera pushes in. A coral flower fills the frame, its pale drop on the disc. 
8.9 to 10.7 s The camera travels with her. The hive door swings open. 
15.3 to 19.4 s Four bees fan; wisps of water rise out of the cup. 
23.4 to 27.5 s The comb warms to gold; the camera pulls back through the door. 
27.5 to 29.5 s The hive large on the right; the title folds up in the sky. 04
One change
Each film follows one object as it changes: a drop of nectar into honey, a kernel into popcorn. The change is the answer.
05
Sound
Narration, music, effects and ambience, timed to the word and mixed to -14 LUFS with a true peak under -1 dBTP.
06
Checked
Before a film is done the kit scans every frame for flashes, pops, whips, hard cuts, unreadable captions and loudness, and a film with a defect is not rendered until it is fixed.
