What Makes Kurzgesagt So Special?

·Oct 29, 2024

We’d like to tell you a story about a kurzgesagt video that took us over 1000 hours to create. It all started with a simple idea. We stumbled upon something truly awe-inspiring. A piece of knowledge so important, we wanted to share it with as many people as possible. So we got to work.

It took many days and nights, but finally, we managed to craft a perfect script. Then the illustration and animation birbs took over and the visual magic began. With lots of love and care, they brought the script to life – image by image – scene by scene – character by character. Finally, a soundtrack was composed and the narration was recorded. And at last, after over 1000 hours of hard work, this video was ready to be released to the world, bringing joy and inspiration to so many people.

So what was this very special video that took so much time, so much love, and so much effort to create? In reality, every single video we create takes this much effort. It might seem excessive for a YouTube video, but for us it's the only way. Making each video to the best of our abilities. Be it in research, writing, or visuals. Always challenging ourselves. No compromises.

But there is one special group of people that make this exciting endeavor possible: our Patrons. They are by our side during every part of the process, lifting us up, and supporting us. Spending this much time on a single video is a really bad business decision. But our Patrons make it possible. They are a vital part of the kurzgesagt team.
