Video Factory

A standalone Remotion factory for Gorge comedy films, source-faithful theme7 interaction showpieces, and the revived Windows SAPI voice-and-mouth engine.

Open the full-resolution Gorge MP4 with audio

The film shows Gorge discovering OMP, switching between theme7 jobs, moving through terminal/Files/Git views, and dragging a Browser pane into the workspace to reveal his terrible GorgeCities fan page.

What is included

• The complete source-driven Gorge story renderer and its additive prior scripts.
• The theme7 job-switch, folder/tool workflow, and Browser-drop interaction scenes.
• The finished Gorge and theme7 MP4s under media/.
• Source images, props, OMP identification assets, generated narration, mouth frames, and render props.
• The revived retro Windows SAPI engine under tts/, including its native source, lip-sync logic, tests, and local preview API.
• Contract, caption, motion, and OMP-brand tests.

This repository is deliberately only the Video Factory. It contains no application runtime, deployment machinery, database, credentials, or unrelated product-film inventory.

Run the included render immediately

Requires Node.js 24 and npm 10 or 11.

npm ci
npm run typecheck
npm test
npm run render:prepared

The prepared render uses the checked-in narration and mouth frames and writes out/gorge-finds-omp-theme7.mp4.

Regenerate narration and mouth animation

The retro voice service is Windows-only and expects the included native binaries or a local MinGW toolchain capable of rebuilding them.

npm ci
npm --prefix tts ci
npm --prefix tts run build:native
npm run voice

Leave that service running. In a second terminal:

npm run voices
npm run render

The story compiler sends each line to the local voice API, downloads the WAV and engine-timed mouth frames, rebuilds the lip-sync manifest, mixes the soundtrack, and invokes Remotion.

Authoring

Edit or add a JSON story under grug-stories/scripts/. The story contract controls dimensions, frame rate, narration, five-word caption chunks, scene, camera, puppet motion, and voice settings.

npm run studio
npm run theme7:render
