The channel in one line

Animated, narrated What If mini-movies. Each one takes one idea from the Open Ideas notebook and makes it real in your life, grounded in real economics, psychology and tech.

What I learned from the references

From the Drive guide ("What IF (Prompts)")

• Titles: always "What If … ?", 6–8 words, one change, a concrete number (500 IQ, 10x), understood in under two seconds, curious not scary.
• Scripts: 900–1,050 words (~6–7 min), one paragraph of spoken text, second person present tense, ultra-short sentences (4–5 words on average), 18–25 ellipses, 15–20 questions, the "fact, then You?" move, dry humor.
• Story arc: cold open → baseline + one limiting rule + the question → consequence montage → hidden cost → the heart (plant a detail) → crisis with a stark either/or → the hero chooses people → optional "Is any of this real?" → sting → CTA.
• Accuracy: at least five real facts per script; never invent studies or numbers.

From the aiTrends 2D Studio plugin (Drive)

• Every frame is drawn by code (canvas + Three.js), so characters stay consistent and text stays sharp. No AI image model is needed.
• The look: black stick figures with rim light, one saturated signature item per character, moody flat 2.5D sets with one key light, giant face close-ups, freeze-frames, glowing numbers, navy blueprint diagrams, low-poly 3D orbits, letterbox, grain.
• Pacing: 15–25 shots per minute, a median shot of 2–3.5 s, an establishing shot per location, 1–3 freeze-frames, about one 3D shot per minute.
• Input is voiceover + script. Whisper gives word timings; the shot list is then timed to the words.

From your YouTube Channel Ideas page

• Original scripts, real storytelling and editing that adds value are what matter. Avoid making every video feel like the same automated template.
• Inspiration channels: Ifverse, Last Soul, Casual Economics.
• Learning videos saved on the AI Animations page (to watch): Opus + Three.js 3D cartoons, "Same music video at every effort", Animation vs. Math, viral stick animations.

The key adaptation

The guide only allows changes to the viewer's body or mind. Your ideas are about products, AI, markets and society. So for Open Ideas:

• The change = one of your ideas becomes real in the viewer's life.
