Virtual presenters
Fictional hosts, explainers, anchors, mascots, and recurring digital characters for websites, social clips, and campaign ideas.
Compact virtual production • AI-assisted characters • Strange media systems
Virtual presence, fake newsrooms, and strange little media experiments.
Totally Not Real HQ builds digital presenters, fictional hosts, motion-capture tests, and short-form video systems for people who want something more interesting than another talking-head ad.
What we make
Character-driven media for small screens, odd ideas, and local attention spans.
AI-assisted video
Short-form video pipelines that combine human writing, generated media, editing, and production logic without hiding behind generic AI slop.
Experimental production
Motion capture, synthetic sets, image generation, fake broadcasts, and visual experiments that help ideas become visible fast.
Built small on purpose
A compact production lab for testing characters and workflows quickly.
Our setup is designed for fast iteration, including a compact 100 sq. ft. motion capture suite for testing character performance, virtual presenters, mascots, and AI-assisted production workflows.
Small space. Real capability. Repeatable tests.
Public sandbox
Totally Not Real News is the proof-of-concept.
Totally Not Real News is our public testbed: a fictional local newsroom used to explore character design, fake broadcast formats, pacing, AI-assisted production, and short-form satire.
