How Weekly Documentary Production Works

1

Week-Long Story Tracking

ChoppedOnions monitors developing stories throughout the week, tracking which topics gain the most traction and which have the deepest implications.

2

Flagship Story Selection

At week's end, AI selects the single most significant story — the one viewers need to understand. This becomes your documentary subject.

3

Deep Research & Analysis

Unlike daily videos, documentaries pull from 10+ sources, including background context, expert perspectives, and historical relevance.

4

Narrative Arc Construction

AI structures the content with a clear beginning, middle, and end — setting up the story, exploring the details, and explaining the implications.

5

Premium Production

High-quality visuals carefully matched to each segment, professional narration with appropriate pacing, and polished word-level subtitles.

6

Scheduled Release

Your documentary uploads at the same time each week — building audience expectation and establishing your channel's rhythm.
