How a knowledge base finds the answer
What an enterprise knowledge-base product actually does: out of thousands of documents, how it finds the passage that answers your question — and cites it.

Information isn't scarce.A clear angle on it is.
We compress research, tech products and engineering detail into films of thirty seconds to three minutes — clear on the first watch.

01Why compression
Making content is easy now.
Understanding it isn't.
Writing a report, building a deck, cutting a video — the cost of all of it is heading towards zero. Everyone sees several times more than they used to, and the day still has twenty-four hours. Most of it never gets finished, and what does is soon forgotten.
We do the hardest part for the viewer: read the material properly, find the one or two things that matter, cut the rest without flinching, and make it clear on screen. Forty pages can end up as thirty seconds — the part people will actually watch, and remember.

Extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) lithography uses 13.5-nanometre light, produced by firing tin droplets a few tens of microns across into a vacuum vessel at roughly 50,000 a second and striking each tin droplet with a pre-pulse and then a main pulse from a high-power CO₂ laser, which deforms and ionises it into a plasma of about 220,000 °C; the EUV radiation it emits is gathered by multilayer mirrors and passed, in vacuum, through the illumination optics, the mask and the projection optics onto a resist-coated wafer, where it forms circuit patterns at the nanometre scale.
A laser turns tin droplets into plasma that gives off 13.5-nm light, and mirrors carry it through a vacuum to print circuits on a wafer.

What thirty seconds can explain
Every case is made the way we make client work: no client names, no client logos. Numbers carry their sources; anything schematic is marked as such.

Light 13.5 nanometres long
Where EUV light comes from: 50,000 tin droplets a second, turned by a laser into plasma hotter than the surface of the Sun.

The route of a cross-border payment
The pain point behind a cross-border payments business: Shanghai to São Paulo, how many banks it passes through, where the time goes, and what changed.

The first gravitational waves
A 2016 PRL paper: two black holes merged 1.3 billion years ago, and 4-km detector arms moved by about 1/400 of a proton's width.

Fusion ignition
December 2022: for the first time, fusion released more energy than the laser put in. Power plants are still far off; this step took sixty years.

The angle that makes it clear
Our own studio film: hundreds of fragments scattered in space that only line up into one shape from a single viewpoint.
03Services
Three kinds of explainer film
Frontier science
A paper or a new technology, explained so that people outside the field can retell it: what it is, why it is hard, what changed. For labs, journals, societies, research institutes and science media.
Tech products
The minute or two on your homepage, at the start of a pitch, on the booth screen. We work out what your customers care about first, then decide what to say and what to leave out. For AI, software, fintech and hardware companies.
Engineering detail
The structure inside equipment, production lines and components that nobody gets to see, taken apart in 3D: how it fits together, how it moves, where the precision comes from. For equipment makers, semiconductors, robotics and energy.

We also make
Digital-human presenters
One filming session clones your own face and voice; after that, a script is all it takes. Output is labelled as AI-generated, as the rules require.
Brand films and launch openers
One idea, one image, thirty seconds. Our own brand film was made this way.

05Process
Find the sentence first,
then the pictures
- 01
Send the material
Papers, decks, product docs, meeting recordings. The rawer, the better.
- 02
One sentence
We write the single sentence the film exists to say, and agree on it before anything else.
- 03
Script and frames
Storyboard, palette and key frames come first. Changing paper is far cheaper than changing a finished film.
- 04
Production
Picture and music are generated from code, so changing a number or a language doesn't mean starting over.
- 05
Delivery
Landscape and vertical, with and without subtitles, all at once.
