Fatal Familial Insomnia | Dark Science Documentary (Paper-Cutout Animation)

An animated science documentary about one of the rarest diseases on Earth: a genetic condition that slowly takes away the ability to sleep.

The brief: Explain a complex medical topic clearly while keeping a dark, gripping mood for a mystery-documentary channel.
What I made: Paper-cutout characters and moody candle-lit environments, animated diagrams of the brain, and slow, tense camera moves timed to the narration.
Format: 7-minute YouTube documentary, 1080p, made from a finished script and voiceover.
