A faceless stickman channel made its first $9,400 in 1 months with zero animation, zero paid tools, zero drawing skill.
14 uploads. 137,000 subscribers. 14,500,000 views. Just still stick figures stitched together, 5-to-15-minute videos, first one live 8 weeks ago.
The whole pipeline runs on free plans and 1 prompt.
Claude's free plan returns 5 viral topics, then a full script, then a download.
The rule that breaks most creators: voice over first, scene second. Generate scenes first and the audio collides with them, and viewers click away before they can explain why.
ElevenLabs free plan makes the voice. A transcriber finds every pause to the frame, so the audio tells you where each of the 103 cuts lands. No guessing. Claude writes an image prompt per timestamp. Google Flow with Nano Banana 2 renders them. A free Chrome extension batches all 103 and auto-downloads in the background. 102 land clean. 1 fails. Fix it by hand.
Sync by filename timestamp, preview for rhythm, export.
$0 setup. 103 scenes. 1 published video built by someone who can't draw.
The channel crossed another million views while you read this.
