Stand-up videos
Short stand-up comedy clips made entirely with free tools on our own server.
Stand-up videos are 1 to 5 minute comedy clips produced from a written set, a free open voice model, real laugh tracks and a stage silhouette, rendered on a server without a GPU. It shows that short video content can be produced at almost zero cost, and it can become a content channel and a production service.
