(No seriously...)

1UpMedia is a narrative podcast-to-video studio.

We turn audio stories into visually compelling content through a unique format we created: docu-animation.

Like you, we started in audio. We believed pacing, voice, and atmosphere mattered more than flashy visuals. But deep down, we knew video couldn't be ignored forever.

So we set out to build a new way. We made mistakes. We experimented. We learned what didn't work, and finally what did.

That's how we created a video approach that stays true to the audio-first experience, while bringing it to life on screen.

We proved it with our own shows: over a million organic views, no paid ads, and a loyal community. Now, we help others do the same.

Got a narrative podcast with heart? Let's bring it to screen.

When we say we come from audio first, we mean it — we've lived it.
