infomercial style, starts cinematic for the section on how communicating an idea is hard then the cinematic section changes to a google doodle hand drawn style comic for the section on storytelling with "NotebookLM Slide Decks" from my voicenote
Make it yours. Change the two sections ("how communicating an idea is hard" and "storytelling with \"NotebookLM Slide Decks\"") to the parts of your own source, and swap "cinematic" and "google doodle hand drawn style comic" for the two looks you want.
Cinematic deck that turns into a comic
A deck that opens on black-and-white photo slides about how hard it is to get an idea across, then switches to a hand-drawn stick-figure comic about telling stories. NotebookLM made it from a voice note and a one-sentence style prompt.
“Thought it better to show not tell!”

How it was made
Made with NotebookLM Slide Decks from a voice note, through Pixel Voice Recorder's native integration with NotebookLM. The posted video is a 36-second flip-through of the finished deck. A later post by @JeremyNguyenPhD reuses this prompt.

Two halves in one deck: grainy black-and-white photo slides on cream paper, then black-line stick-figure comic panels with speech bubbles and a few bright colors.
- Color
- Black, white, and gray photography on warm cream; the comic half adds Google-style blue, red, yellow, and green accents on white.
- Type
- A thin serif title over a close-up eye ("FROM MIND TO SLIDES") and serif captions; the comic half uses rounded hand-lettering in bubbles and caption boxes.
- Framing
- Photo slides set one framed image with a short serif caption beside or below it. At the turn, a cartoon blue hand with a pink eraser erases part of the photo collage. Comic slides are single bordered panels with a numbered caption box.
- Structure
- Title eye, a pen writing in ink, a lone office worker at night, a man reading a document across a desk, a collage of books, an eye, and coffee, the eraser slide ("But what if telling your story wasn't a struggle?"), then comic steps: "1. Have an idea. And just talk.", NotebookLM turning it into slides on a laptop ("3. One click."), and a presenter before a cheering audience ("From a simple voice note... to a story that moves.").
