The brief behind this video

A hundred years ago, a disease made people freeze in place like living statues, and no one has ever explained it. It started around 1917. Victims would fall into a sleep so deep they couldn't be woken, sometimes for weeks. Some never woke at all. Others woke up but were frozen, conscious, aware, but unable to move or speak, trapped inside their own bodies for years. They called it encephalitis lethargica, the sleeping sickness.

How this Short was made

Kineo turned a single topic line into this vertical video: it wrote the script, generated the voiceover, burned in the captions and matched stock footage to every beat. No camera, no editing timeline, no voice recording — the render finishes in a few minutes.
