Four looks.
One film.

Kleo makes one kind of video, a complete narrated film. Two looks are on the server’s style switch today — realistic, generated live-action footage with photographic light, and animation, a 2D animated film — and two more are drawn live by the Keou engine, Cinema and Stickman. Every look is shown below with a real sample. One look per film, decided before a frame exists; the same workflow and the same 4K 60 fps master whatever the look.

The Corgi Knight arrivesShot 3 · the arrival.

Tether20 s · one shot · 16:9 · 4K 60 fps, shown at 1080p

One unbroken pull-back. It opens inside the helmet, on the astronaut’s face and his breath on the glass; a gloved hand comes up, the visor floods red, and the camera keeps backing away as he drifts, arms open, until the gold line running up from his pack meets the station and its solar arrays. Every frame is generated footage. No words at all: only his breathing and a low hum.

Signal Delay6 min 55 s · opening 0:00–1:02 · 2.39:1 in a 16:9 file · 4K 60 fps, shown at 1080p

A documentary told as five months of mission logs: on November 14, 2023, Voyager 1 started repeating one pattern of ones and zeros, and every question cost forty-five hours of light-time. One narrator walks through the readout, the dead chip and the code moved by hand in 1970s assembly. Photographic stills with a slow push-in, hand-drawn amber diagrams, terminal windows, dates on black, two clocks in the corner, 35 mm grain, 2.39:1, a quiet music bed and subtitles. Here, the opening minute up to the title. Rendered with Kleo’s realistic look; the full film is not on the site.

Apex20 s · 16:9 · 4K 60 fps, shown at 1080p

A yellow supercar and a pale-green classic coupé side by side, nose to the camera, rows of amber lights racing overhead; the tunnel ends and the road opens onto a cliff-side coast at golden hour, the sea flat and bright beside them. Two subjects held through a change of light, every frame generated footage.

01 · look

Realistic

Photographic light, real textures and a camera that moves, at 4K 60 fps. The same look carries a single generated take with nothing on the frame and a seven-minute documentary with dates, diagrams and a narrator: what appears on screen is decided by the film, not by a preset. Three films, one look.

Output4K · 60 fps, 16:9 for YouTube or 9:16 for a Short, 15 seconds to 5 minutes
FootageFrames by Nano Banana Pro; in a film, every shot turned into moving footage by Seedance 2.5; in an animatic, the same frames under a moving camera
On the frameNothing unless the film’s treatment asks for it (Signal Delay’s did); one narrator

“A 20-second film, 16:9, realistic look: one continuous pull-back from an astronaut’s face inside his helmet to the station he’s tethered to. No words, just his breathing.”

Animation

A 2D animated film: painted backgrounds, hand-drawn characters kept the same from shot to shot, one narrator in English or Italian. Live on the server today, on the same workflow, the same 4K 60 fps master and the same price as the realistic look: 1 credit is 1.5 seconds of film, from 10 credits; an animatic in this look is 5 credits up to 20 seconds, 10 up to 60.

Why Octopuses Have 3 Hearts and Blue Blood — a 32-second Short, 9:16, made from one sentence with a connected assistant (OpenCode, on its own, storyboard included): a painted red octopus, one picture per shot with a slow camera move, chapter pills and big captions that light up on the spoken word. Shown at 1080p, muted. The animation look on the server now goes one step further: in a film every shot is generated as moving footage from its drawn frame, with nothing on the frame unless the film’s treatment asks for it. An animatic keeps the drawn frames under the camera, as this sample does.

Output4K · 60 fps, 16:9 for YouTube or 9:16 for a Short, 15 seconds to 5 minutes
FootagePainted backgrounds, hand-drawn characters kept the same across shots, drawn by Nano Banana Pro; in a film Seedance 2.5 animates every shot from its own frame
PriceThe same as the realistic look: a film 1 credit = 1.5 seconds, 10 credits minimum, a 40-second Short is 27 credits; an animatic 5 credits up to 20 seconds, 10 up to 60

03 · look · drawn by the engine

Cinema

One hero visual per beat, drawn in glowing line art on near-black with drifting light streaks and corner brackets. A chapter label, kinetic type that slams in on the word, a title lockup with the keyword in the chapter’s accent, and white captions with one word in green. Every beat is a hard cut anchored to a spoken word: 25 shots in 26 seconds, none longer than 1.7 s.

Best forTech, security, gadgets, news stories with a number in them
Format9:16 and 16:9
PicturesNone, 5–8 beats per scene drawn live by the Keou engine

“Police pulled a WiFi Pineapple out of a passenger’s bag: make it a 25-second Short, cinema style.”

An engine look: not on the assistant’s style switch today (that offers realistic and animation), it is asked for in the storyboard by its engine name, kleo_style: "cyber".

04 · look · drawn by the engine

Stickman

White line art on black, as if drawn by hand. A stick figure acts the story out with the real objects, the cable, the laptop, the drawer full of chargers, and only the danger gets a colour: a red circuit inside the plug, a blue signal, a yellow price tag. Bold captions with one word in green. Deliberately plain, deliberately funny, and unmistakable in a feed full of stock footage.

Best forGadgets, scams, security stories with a twist
Format9:16 only
PicturesNone, everything is drawn live by the Keou engine

“This charging cable has a computer hidden inside: make it a 25-second Short, stickman style.”

05The workflow

How a film is built

The looks share one pipeline. The look is settled in the first step, the treatment, and everything after it is generated under that decision: the storyboard, every shot, the narration, the cut and the 4K 60 fps render.

kleo_adapt_prompt

Treatment

Your assistant hands the request to kleo_adapt_prompt, which reads it against the intake: subject, length, format, look, film or animatic, the AI upscale, music, subtitles and the narration language, plus audience, tone, what must appear and your own photos as options, and asks for whatever is missing in one message instead of assuming it. Back comes the treatment: logline, angle, opening, acts, ending, look, pacing, narrator. The look is decided here, before a frame exists.

kleo_storyboard_guide

Storyboard

kleo_storyboard_guide sets out how the storyboard is written under that treatment: a direction block, the scenes, the shots and the limits.

kleo_create_video

Footage and narration

kleo_create_video checks everything, states the exact credits and starts the render on a GPU rented for that job; nothing is charged until it accepts. Nano Banana Pro draws every frame in the look the treatment chose, and a vision model checks each one against your request; in a film Seedance 2.5 then turns every frame into moving footage, in an animatic the camera moves over each drawn frame. One narrator voices it, in English or Italian, with the music track and burned-in subtitles you asked for.

kleo_get_result

Render

The shots and narration are cut together into one film. Agree on any available graphic treatment before rendering. An MP4 at 4K 60 fps, 3840×2160 for 16:9 or 2160×3840 for 9:16, typically 25–35 minutes on the rented GPU. Your assistant follows the progress and kleo_get_result hands it the link, good for 7 days.

The showcases have different creative treatments. Confirm the sound, subtitle and graphic options available for your own order; a sample’s treatment does not establish what every standard film includes. The current Terms specify a small Kleo mark on the video. Review the output conditions before purchasing.

06How a scene is cut

Not a slideshow.
A line, cut into shots.

Each narrated line becomes a scene, and each scene is cut into shots. Kleo writes a description for every shot, generates it from its own frame, and times the cut to a word you actually hear. Watch the line below.

narration · 9 s

shot 01The captain burying a chest on a golden beach at sunset.Captain

shot 02She walks away along the shoreline, the chest gone.never

shot 03The same beach at night, empty.nobody

The same character is described the same way in every shot, so the captain still looks like the captain three shots later.

One look per film, decided in the treatment before a frame exists; the same workflow, the same 4K 60 fps master and the same price either way, as a film or as a 5-credit animatic.
