About the cycleEverything
Everything
most fascinating
in 22 minutes
“In 22 minutes” is a cycle of animated films where each episode unpacks a big topic in 22 minutes: a major figure, a historical era, war, a scientific field, or a cultural phenomenon. The format works equally for school students, university audiences, and adults following the Lecture Hall
A strict format
22 minutes is the shared runtime for the whole cycle. Script, voice, and edit are cut to fit so every film lands as “one topic — one sitting”
2D + 3D + AI
Collages, shapes, archival image treatment, 3D modeling, and neural networks in the pipeline — our own serial animation conveyor for dozens of episodes a year
Fact-checking and editing
Every script goes through an editor and a scientific consultant: names, dates, quotes, and claims are verified against sources before recording
One visual language
46 films in one visual standard: palette, typography, narrator voice, and sound design read as a series — not one-off clips

PipelineFrom script
From script
to render
Six stages every film in the cycle passes through. We use the same pipeline on commercial 2D/3D animation and educational video projects
- 01Stage 01 / 0622 minutes — a hard standard
Script development
Screenwriter and scientific consultant, dramaturgy, and fact-checking. Output: a script timed to exactly 22 minutes
- 02Stage 02 / 06One voice for the whole series
Voiceover
Casting a narrator for educational film, studio recording of clean voice, processing, and sync with the future picture edit
- 03Stage 03 / 06A unique look per film
Visual concept
Moodboard, palette, references, and style for each topic: architecture, painting, war, biography. Every film gets its own visual world
- 04Stage 04 / 06Shapes, collage, motion, neural nets
2D animation and AI
Rhythmic image editing, shape animation, archival photos and textures, period styling, reconstructions with generative AI — the backbone of each film
- 05Stage 05 / 063D modeling and render
3D animation
Modeling, texturing, rigging, and rendering 3D scenes — reconstructions of events, objects, and spaces you cannot show with archives alone
