Quarter Cut Studio
We cut open the systems behind everyday life.
Cables under the ocean, grids that balance every second, data centres that think for you. We make short videos that show how they really work, and games you can build them in.
What we make
One idea, two ways in.
Watch a system cut open in under a minute, or run one yourself, lot by lot.

Discover the gameHow we work
No faces, no filler, no hype.
Real systems, drawn plainly
A repeater on a seabed cable, a graphics card in its slot, a cooling tower. What we draw is drawn after the real thing, in one calm palette, so the idea is what stands out.
Every fact has a source
Each video is written from published sources and checked line by line before it goes up. When something is simplified, we say so.
Made in code
Our videos are animated and scored by code we write, and every building in AI Campus is drawn by the game itself. Nothing is stock footage.
