Made for the end of the day

A calm story read aloud

A bedtime video should slow children down: a warm voice, soft pictures and no sudden noise. oVideo keeps the pace gentle with a narrator who reads the whole story, quiet music underneath and characters that look the same from the first page to the last.

You decide

  • The story or the fairy tale
  • A soft look: Watercolor or Disney
  • The narrator’s voice and language
  • Length: up to 5 minutes

oVideo makes

  • Gentle scenes in that style
  • The same characters throughout
  • A calm read aloud with music
  • One finished story video

How it works

From idea to video in three steps

  1. 01

    Write the idea

    Type one line, paste your script or paste the full prompt ChatGPT wrote for you. Pick the style, the language, the length and who speaks.

  2. 02

    Check the storyboard

    oVideo writes the scenes, designs the characters and draws each scene. Change any scene, regenerate an image or give each character a voice.

  3. 03

    Create the video

    Every scene is animated and voiced, music goes underneath, and you get one finished video to post or edit further.

Better results

What makes a good bedtime video

  • Choose Watercolor or Illustration for a soft, quiet look; Disney for classic fairy tales.
  • Pick a slow, warm narrator voice and keep the music gentle.
  • End on something calm: the little lion falls asleep, the stars come out.
  • Retell classic tales in your own words; the old fairy tales are free to use.
  • oVideo reads and voices the story but does not sing lullabies.

Ideas

Bedtime stories people make

  • Classic fairy tales. The three little pigs, Little Red Riding Hood or Goldilocks, retold in your words.
  • Little heroes. A little lion who finds her roar, a small fish who finds his smile.
  • Gentle lessons. Captain BrightSmile beats the cavity monster, so brushing teeth becomes a story.
  • Stories in your language. The same story read in English, Spanish, Arabic, Turkish, German, French or Russian.
