# Route: faceless-explainer

- **Input:** A topic, article, notes, or arbitrary text being explained, with no product being marketed and no website to capture.
- **Output:** A faceless explainer MP4 with invented typography, abstract graphics, diagrams, or data visualization. Sweet spot 30–90s; hard cap about 3 minutes.
- **Triggers:** "faceless explainer about X", "explain how DNS works as a video", "turn this article into an explainer".

## Interview

- **Must-haves:** **angle** — concept / how-to / listicle / narrative, recommend the one the text's own shape suggests · **length** — inside the 30–90s sweet spot, scaled to how much the text actually teaches · **destination** — YouTube / embed → 16:9 · X / LinkedIn / Instagram feed → 1:1 · Shorts / TikTok → 9:16.
- **Conditional:** a pasted script adds **`VO_MODE`** — use it verbatim, or restructure per scene?
- **Pitch round:** `message` + `angle` — five tellings of the same topic are five different videos.
- **Run-shape:** both.
