Reel 01

One film, start to finish.

This is not a demo reel stitched from best moments. It is one real film, from a one-line topic to a mixed master, made by the same software you would use.

Cold open · script excerpt

Her dentist touched her jawbone, and a piece of it came away in his hand. No surgery. He just lifted it out.

The jaw belonged to Amelia Maggia, Mollie to everyone, and she was still alive.

It had all started in 1921 with a single bad tooth. The dentist pulled it, and the hole never healed.

He pulled another. That one wouldn't close either…

The software weighed several angles on the story and chose the one with a living witness, a cover-up and a reversal. Every claim was checked by a second model before narration.

Reel 02

Six departments. No crew.

Each stage is a separate pass with its own job and its own checks — the way a film is made, not the way a slideshow is assembled.

  1. 01

    Story room

    Scores candidate angles on protagonist, danger, reversal and freshness, then writes a chaptered script. A second model fact-checks it; a retention editor reworks every line of the cold open.

  2. 02

    Voice

    A voice director casts the narrator and characters, marks pauses and delivery, and keeps one narrator across every chapter.

  3. 03

    Director

    One treatment for the whole film — motifs, light, palette — plus character and prop references, then a shot-by-shot storyboard per scene.

  4. 04

    Picture

    Every frame is inspected for wrong-era details, warped hands and stray text, and redrawn if it fails. The director reviews the dailies and reshoots weak shots.

  5. 05

    Motion

    The first minute is fully animated. After that, a motion shot about every 45 seconds, and depth-parallax living stills in between.

  6. 06

    Sound & delivery

    Original score, ambience and effects, mixed under the narration to YouTube loudness. Delivered as a 1080p MP4 with .srt captions and chapter timestamps.

You stay in control. Every film stops at a script and storyboard preview. Nothing renders until you approve it — and credits are only spent on what you approve.

Reel 03

Three ways to shoot it.

Pick by genre, not by quality. Every tier gets the same writing, narration and sound.

Sleep

Slow, long, calm

Composed stills with gentle camera moves and light; motion only in the opening minute. For sleep history, mythology and bedtime stories of 60–90 minutes.

0.25 credit per minute

Standard The film above

Documentary

A fully animated cold open, a motion shot every 30–60 seconds, and living stills with real shot coverage in between. For dark history, mysteries and documentaries.

1 credit per minute

Cinematic

Every shot in motion

Every shot animated, cut with full film grammar. For true crime, horror, trailers and Shorts.

3 credits per minute

Reel 05

Yours, entirely.

  • Your files. Finished MP4s, captions and chapter lists, delivered to you. No watermark.
  • Your channel. You publish where and when you choose, and you keep everything your channel earns.
  • Not mass-produced. Original scripts researched per topic, a visual identity per channel, and no topic reused across channels in the same niche.
  • Checked facts. Real events and people are fact-checked; fictional stories use invented names, never real organisations.

Reel 06

Questions.

Does a person edit these films?

No. Wick & Reel is software: every film is written, narrated, storyboarded, animated, scored and mixed automatically. You review and approve; the software does the rest.

Can I approve a film before it is made?

Yes. Each film stops at a script and storyboard preview. You approve it, ask for changes, or discard it. Credits are only spent when you approve the render.

What exactly do I receive?

A 1080p MP4 with narration, score and sound design, an .srt caption file (upload it to YouTube as closed captions), and chapter timestamps for your description.

Will my channel be monetized?

We can't promise that, and nobody honestly can — monetization is YouTube's decision. What we control is the film: original, researched scripts, real narration performance, and a distinct look per channel, rather than repetitive template content. You remain responsible for what you publish and for following YouTube's policies.

What can't I make?

No sexual or sexually suggestive content, no graphic violence presented for shock, no hate or harassment, no impersonation, and no depictions of real living people's faces. See the Acceptable Use Policy.

Which AI models does it use?

Wick & Reel is an independent product built on third-party AI models for language, voice, image, video and music. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by any model provider.

Do credits expire? Can I cancel?

Unused credits roll over for one month. You can cancel anytime from your account; your plan runs to the end of the paid period. See the refund policy.
