What this channel is

A stick figure explainer channel answers one curious question per film, such as what ancient humans did all night. Thin hand-drawn stick figures act the answer out on a sheet of paper whose lines gently wobble as if redrawn, often at night in a pool of firelight, with a hand-lettered number or diagram where it helps, a short payoff line and a teaser for the next question.

Who it is for

People who want a calm curiosity channel about science, everyday life and how people lived, with a simple hand-drawn look and no on-camera work. This is a different look from our Stickman sitcom: pencil-thin figures on paper and explanations first, rather than a cartoon comedy cast.

Questions about Stick figure explainers

How is this different from the Stickman niche?

Stickman is a flat-colour cartoon sitcom with our recurring Pip character. Here thin hand-drawn stick figures act out one question per film on a sheet of paper, with props and diagrams. They are separate channels with separate looks.

How long are the films?

Every film is 60 seconds, in 9:16 for Shorts and Reels or 16:9 for YouTube. The scenes are animated, so a film takes about half an hour to make.

Are the facts checked?

The script uses well-established facts and keeps a list of the sources it relies on. You read the plan before anything is made. Medical advice and one-sided politics are left out.

What does a video cost?

Videos in this niche start at 2,800 credits; the exact number depends on length and complexity and is shown before you confirm. Planning is free.

Can I post the episodes on YouTube?

Episodes are downloadable and you upload them yourself. Publishing from the site arrives once your YouTube account is connected.
