Far Corners: a documentary engine
A YouTube channel about the most remote places people call home, where the script goes in one end and a finished 4K or 8K documentary comes out the other.

Problem
A one-person channel cannot hand-edit a 20-minute documentary every few days. Every step that a human would repeat had to become code, without the result looking like a slideshow.
Approach
Script → fact-strip and place checks → local neural narration → word-level alignment → shot-driven build where every cut is anchored to a spoken word → QC agents that watch the cut → 4K/8K master. Music, room tone and mix are generated per episode.
The craft
The QC layer is what makes it publishable: sync drift, dead air, off-frame text and loudness are measured, not eyeballed, and a build that fails a gate does not ship.
Result
29 documentaries and 55 Shorts published; the same engine now builds vertical Shorts and watch-hour compilations.
