What Makes Kurzgesagt So Special?

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 Patreons make it possible.

They are a vital part of the kurzgesagt team.
