Field notes
Each episode treats a Chinese character as a starting record, moving from its historical form toward the people and circumstances around it. The site lists 日 (sun), 月 (moon), and 山 (mountain) as finished, with 木 (wood/tree) in production. Full films run 15–20 minutes on YouTube, while the homepage offers roughly half-minute teasers. The creators also disclose that the recurring narrator, Nicky Yue, is an AI-generated character drawn for the project.
