A 25 to 45 second vertical story told by a painted cartoon host who looks like you, in a hand-painted scene (plane, train, bus, massage shop), with brush-banner headlines and the real app on a painted phone. Entertaining and relatable first, the idea second, the brand almost invisible. This is the format you named and liked on 30 October 2026.
What to say
Make a Storybook Host video about https://flashcard.fulinlabs.com/ for people studying on trips. Funny first, product barely mentioned. Queue it to nextmaker and send it to Telegram.
Storybook Host, same format as reception-oily-hands, but about <your topic>. Start with a relatable problem in the first sentence.
Storybook Host about <topic>. Test the product first and only say what you verified. No mono step labels.
How it works
Fetch the site or test the app so every claim is true
Write BRIEF, facts, hook, script and shots; run the lints and the clarity gate (about $0.03 a round)
Free Kokoro voice, then a hand-written scene file times every headline word, prop and pose to a spoken word
Write the search title, description and hashtags; queue to SchedulePost; Telegram gets a copy
At a glance
Best for
A topic with a relatable problem (no Wi-Fi on a plane, a busy shop owner)
Showing a product without sounding promotional
Audiences who scroll fast and watch with the sound off
You give
A topic or a product URL
Optional: a feeling you want (funny, curious, inspiring)
Optional: which painted scene (plane, train, bus, spa, or a new one)
You get
1080x1920, 60 fps mp4 plus video-seo.md (title, description with a tracked link, caption, 5 hashtags)
Time
About 30 minutes of work, 90 second render
Cost
About $0.15 of cheap reader calls. New painted scenes or props cost one Codex image call each.
Good to know
Not allowed on purpose: mono step labels such as // 01 or STEP 1 OF 4
The host's mouth is calibrated per pose; new poses need a calibration pass
SchedulePost has no delete or edit, so a re-rendered video needs a new file path and the old post must be deleted by you
