Most lives are never written down. A biography takes years, a researcher and an illustrator, so only a few people ever get one, and when a grandparent dies their story usually goes with them.

Lives in Motion turns a life into an illustrated book you read a page at a time: a cloth cover, a pen-drawn frontispiece, and twelve chapters, each with a painted plate that comes apart into layers and plays a short film as the page opens. Every chapter is footnoted and fact-checked, and when sources disagree, the book says so.

Eight real Singaporean lives are on the shelf: Jack Sim, Joseph Schooling, Tan Howe Liang, Georgette Chen, Sim Wong Hoo, C. Kunalan, Lee Kong Chian and Teresa Hsu. Type a name on /create and the same pipeline makes a new life, showing every model and what each call cost. Family mode is the point: record a grandparent in English, Malay, Mandarin or Tamil, and get a private book where every fact links to the second it was said.

Built from scratch during the hackathon. All eight books together used about $42 of API credit; a new life costs about $0.99.
