You get locked inside a Walmart at closing time, and the doors don't open again. Something outside copies voices. It only comes at night. And it needs someone to open the door.
Every part picks up right where the last one ended.

You don't need to know how to draw or animate. I put my whole process into 16 short lessons: the script, the voice, the pictures, the talking clips, the edit and the posting. It's the same process behind every part above.

Something outside copies voices. It only comes at night, and it needs someone to open the door. Anyone who opens a door for it after dark loses the days.
This page covers Season 1 and Season 2 up to Part 2.
Season 1
Closing time. The doors lock, and they don't open again. You write the rules on a whiteboard, count the food every Sunday and always know where your flashlight is. Then on Day 200, at three in the morning, something knocks on the front doors and says your name.
Season 2
This is what was behind the gate. A hospital, a fence, and a nurse who kept a logbook for a year. Every entry different. Then, for thirty days, the same line.
Ten on a whiteboard in the Walmart. More on a wall in the hospital.
Covers Season 1 and Season 2 up to Part 2.
Season 1
The boy in the yellow hat. That's you.
Locked in at closing time. You count every day and keep the rules on a whiteboard.
Hid in the ceiling
Writes notes instead of talking. Has a sister in Ohio. Hates tomatoes.
Worked at the store
Her voice is all over Season 1. Would you have stopped for her?
Season 2
Night charge nurse
Kept the logbook. Read the numbers on the radio for a year. Grows tomatoes in the courtyard.
Security
Rolls the gate open at sunrise. Keeps a photo of his dog, Biscuit, on his lanyard.
Doctor
Heard his girl out there one night and went out the gate. Mack and Carol brought him back.
Season 1 is one 48 minute video. Season 2 is two parts in so far.
You don't need to know how to draw. You don't need to know how to animate. You need a good story, the right tools, and a process you follow every single time. This is that process, in 16 short lessons.
One-time payment. Watch on Whop right after checkout.
I didn't draw any of this, and I didn't animate it by hand. The script, the voice, the pictures and the talking faces were all made the way the lessons show, then cut together in Premiere.
The lessons use this show as the example, so you see the real files behind scenes like this one.
I posted Part 1 in the middle of October. Every part since then was made the way the lessons show.
16 lessons in four chapters, in the order I make a part.
The five tools, the one folder, how a finished part is built, and a step by step setup with real screens.
The script prompt I paste in, the cold read that finds where viewers would stop watching, and my exact voice settings.
Character sheets that keep every face the same, making the pictures in a batch, when to redo a bad one, and making a character talk.
A full rough cut in Premiere, how I catch mistakes before posting, the thumbnail rules, and scheduling the shorts.
That's the whole setup. The tools are paid separately from the guide, so here's exactly what I use before you buy.
To start, you need two things: a Claude Pro plan with the desktop app, and a Kie account with $5 of credits.
Everything I use to make One Year Inside, ready to copy. Start with the series bible and work down the list. It comes with Guide + Kit and the Founder's Pass.
I make One Year Inside by myself. No team and no studio. I posted Part 1 in the middle of October, and every part since then has been made with the process in these lessons.
The guide isn't theory. It's the folder, the prompts, the settings and the checks I use on every part, shown on the real episodes.
One-time payment. Every option includes all 16 lessons.

Join the free listNo. Kie makes the pictures and the face motion. The lessons show how I get the same characters every time and what I do when a picture comes out wrong.
Yes, they're paid separately. When I recorded the lessons, Claude Pro was $20 a month in the US. Kie has no subscription: the smallest pack was $5 for 1,000 credits, a picture is 10 credits (about 5 cents), and a talking clip is 14 credits a second. ElevenLabs has a free plan to start, and you can edit in free CapCut if you don't have Premiere. The priced shot list in the Kit shows what every picture and clip costs before you run anything.
About a day for me, start to finish, using the process in these lessons.
The lessons use One Year Inside as the example, but the process is the same for any narrated animated story: script, voice, pictures, motion, edit, post.
On Whop. Right after checkout you can watch every lesson on your phone or computer.
No. Every option is a one-time payment.
After you buy, I'll message you to pick where your name goes: Carol's logbook, the rules wall, a name tag, or the survivors list at the end. First come, first served. There are only 20.
All 16 lessons, plus my real templates, prompts and scripts. One payment of $39.
