We'd like to tell you a story about a Kurzgesagt video that took us over 1,000 hours to create.

Adverbs of manner

We stumbled upon something truly awe inspiring.

A piece of knowledge so important, we wanted to share it with as many people as possible.

It took many days and nights, but finally we managed to craft a perfect script.

Then the illustration and animation burbs 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

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.

But there's one special group of people that make this exciting endeavor.

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

They are a vital part of the Kurzgesagt team.
