This is a 1-minute story short (Bittu & Milo) that my wife just posted on her YouTube channel.

No fancy setup.
No paid tools.
No prior kids content experience.

Just simple storytelling + free AI tools + a lot of iteration.

What helped me actually finish (after multiple failed attempts):

3 simple steps I followed:
1️⃣ Kept the story brutally simple (sad → struggle → hope)
2️⃣ Fixed one problem at a time (audio length, scene sync, pacing)
3️⃣ Shipped instead of waiting for “perfect”

This is our first-ever kids story short, and honestly it’s less about views and more about building the habit of showing up.

Felt very aligned with Growthyfai principles for me:
hustle in small steps, consistency over comfort, and learning in public.

Sharing this here to stay accountable and to remind myself:
progress > perfection.

Feedback is welcome 🙌
