About this template
Vintage history episode template in a vertical 9:16 format for Reels, TikTok and Shorts. Twenty seconds of sepia-toned footage: a marble statue, typewriter keys, a terracotta warrior and a hand typing a report, each scene dissolving into black inside a thin double film frame.
The design reads like an archive: a spaced masthead over a gold rule, a Roman episode number, the title in a classic serif, one typewritten line per scene, a year that counts from the start to the year of the story, a thin cream narration line and a rotating NEW EPISODE seal.
Rename the show and the title, type your own lines, set the year counter to your story, load your narration or theme and swap the footage for your own archive clips.
