What it shows: the “Paper cut-out” style, hand-cut paper layers with soft shadows. Each frame was requested the way the factory requests it in this style, with the character’s reference sheet so they look the same in every shot. The style has no lip sync: the character appears in reaction shots with the mouth closed and the voice is off-screen. It is one of the cheapest. It is animated at 12 frames per second, like the factory’s stop motion. It opens with the notice that it is a dramatization based on documented facts. The dates come from Nintendo’s official history, and the consoles and games are invented designs.

How the factory makes a video like this
This sample was made with the CLAQON factory and the same request AI Characters makes for its style: each character’s sheet, its shots, ElevenLabs voices and the scenes layer on top. On your account, your AI model writes the script from sources and it passes the HARD QC before anything is spent on voice, images or video.
Official source
Nintendo’s official history, cited at the end of the video and in the sheet.
One sheet per character
Each fictional character has an AI-generated reference sheet, and every shot receives it so the character stays the same from start to finish.
No lip sync
The style has no lip sync: images with camera movement and an off-screen voice, at no video cost.
Cost on record
Every image and every second of lip sync is recorded with its real cost: the sheet breaks it down.
