Stop Motion

Create a cinematic, ultra-realistic 15-second stop-motion-style miniature crafting video showing the complete transformation of brown clay into a detailed pirate sailing ship. Begin with an overhead close-up of colorful modeling clay, sculpting tools, and a blue cutting mat on a wooden worktable. In the background, show a miniature tropical beach scene with a bright blue sky, fluffy white clouds, and palm trees. Start with realistic human hands kneading and shaping brown clay into the curved hull of a small wooden-style sailing ship. Use close-up shots to show the hands carefully sculpting the bow, stern, deck, and layered wooden planks. Transition to the construction of the ship's masts, adding thin wooden poles, crossbars, tiny ropes, and intricate rigging. Next, show delicate cream-colored fabric sails being attached to the masts one by one. Gradually add miniature windows, decorative railings, cabin details, and a white ornamental figurehead at the front of the ship. Use macro shots to emphasize the tiny handcrafted details and realistic material textures. End with the completed miniature pirate ship mounted on a sculpted blue ocean base with detailed white waves. Slowly pull the camera back to reveal the finished ship against the tropical beach backdrop, creating a magical miniature world. Ultra-detailed miniature craftsmanship, realistic human hands, tactile modeling clay, handcrafted wooden textures, tiny rope rigging, cream fabric sails, intricate ship details, miniature ocean waves, vibrant blue sky, soft natural lighting, shallow depth of field, macro photography, smooth camera movements, satisfying step-by-step transformation, charming stop-motion aesthetic, consistent ship design throughout, physically plausible hand movements, vertical 9:16 composition, 15 seconds, no text, no logos, no watermark, no distorted hands, no floating objects, no inconsistent ship details, no plastic CGI appearance.

Make a complete music video for the song in this folder, with all visuals drawn and animated in JavaScript. Use the entire song. SETUP Inspect this folder and identify the song and any lyrics or reference files. Preserve my original files unchanged. Use this existing animation starter: https://t.co/oN3A7ZZyEl Clone it into a new ./video subfolder, unless an existing copy is already present. Do not overwrite existing work or clone into the nonempty project root. Read its README.md and ANIMATION_GUIDE.md completely, then inspect render.mjs and the project configuration. Use the existing rendering machinery rather than inventing a replacement. Check Node.js, Chrome, and FFmpeg. Inspect the package configuration and install the project dependencies. Ask before making system-wide changes or downloading large additional tools. Do not use fal, external image/video generation, paid APIs, or the hybrid music-video plugin. All finished visuals must be code-drawn. CREATIVE DIRECTION Create a cohesive, visually imaginative animated music video with a handmade, papery, illustrated feel. Express the song's meaning through scenes, characters, visual metaphors, and purposeful transitions. Establish an engaging opening and develop recurring visual motifs. Do not make a slideshow, a generic audio visualizer, or one animation loop repeated for the entire song. Design characters appropriate to this song rather than automatically using the starter's mascot. MUSIC AND TIMING Use the supplied recording as the continuous master soundtrack. Do not remix, replace, speed up, or shorten it. Measure its duration and use available local audio-analysis tools to identify musical sections and likely beat/accent timings. Record these in a shared timeline and drive animation from that timeline. Use supplied lyrics as authoritative. If lyrics are missing, use a local transcription tool only if available, flag uncertain words, and do not invent lyrics. Continue with non-lyric visuals where necessary. When verified lyrics are available, use expressive, readable lyric animation where it strengthens the scene. This explicitly overrides the starter's default preference against lettering. PRODUCTION Write STORYBOARD.md with timed scenes covering the complete recording. Save the project brief and rerender instructions in CLAUDE.md. Then build the video. Make reasonable creative decisions and continue without stopping for approval at every scene. Test a few representative frames and a short section before the full render. Inspect the resulting images and frame sequences, fix visible defects, and keep the animation practical for this computer. Use efficient code-drawn textures if expensive watercolor effects make rendering impractical. DELIVERY Render the complete video

Create a 15-second, 16:9, 24fps high-quality miniature fantasy animation. Overall style: miniature stop-motion animation × photorealistic macro environment × cute Halloween fantasy. The world should feel like a handcrafted animated character placed inside a highly realistic macro environment: wet pavement, shallow depth of field, giant raindrops, oversized fallen leaves, and strong scale contrast between the tiny character and the real-world surroundings. The overall mood should be warm, cute, mysterious, and cinematic, never scary, bloody, or childish. Character Consistency Keep the exact same miniature witch girl throughout the entire video. She is palm-sized, with: short black hair a slightly crooked black pointed witch hat orange raincoat black tights small red rain boots Strictly preserve her: face hairstyle outfit body proportions scale overall identity She should have a refined handcrafted stop-motion look, while the environment remains highly photorealistic. 0–2.5s | Hook Halloween night after the rain. Use an extremely low-angle macro shot close to the wet cobblestone street. Warm orange streetlights create large, soft bokeh in the distance. The tiny witch stands beside a puddle holding a miniature black umbrella. Suddenly, a small glowing jack-o’-lantern floats past her in the rainwater, emitting a warm orange glow. She pauses in surprise, looks up, and immediately starts chasing it. Use a subtle cinematic push-in. 2.5–5.5s | Chase Low-angle lateral tracking shot. The tiny witch runs quickly along the wet street, chasing the drifting glowing pumpkin. Huge maple leaves, giant raindrops, and thin twigs pass around her like oversized obstacles. She jumps across a narrow stream of water. Her raincoat and short hair move naturally in the strong breeze. Keep the glowing pumpkin visible ahead of her, drifting continuously with the current. 5.5–9s | Leaf Boat The pumpkin drifts into a deeper puddle. The witch jumps onto a giant orange-red maple leaf and uses it as a tiny boat. She holds a thin twig like a pole and gently pushes herself forward. The camera moves close to the water surface and follows the leaf boat. Show warm orange reflections, realistic water surface tension, ripples from raindrops, and the leaf softly rocking with the water. 9–12s | Friendly Ghosts Two or three tiny translucent ghosts with warm white glow gently rise above the water. They must look cute and friendly, never frightening. They resemble soft floating light spirits. The ghosts circle around the witch once, then fly toward the glowing pumpkin as if guiding her. The witch smiles with surprise and reaches forward. 12–15s | Final Hero The witch finally catches and hugs the glowing jack-o’-lantern. Its warm orange light illuminates her face, clothes, nearby raindrops, and the wet leaf. Slowly pull the camera back. She sits i

A short film of Thomas Hardy's Far From The Madding Crowd, but it's set on a space outpost under attack from an invasive plant, and the characters are paper cut-outs.

A small animation made with Claude Opus 5.5! The story is called 'His Tanghulu'. During graduate school, there was a teacher who was super serious, leaving no face when grading homework, often embarrassing us in class. I secretly thought his translation concept was too obsessed with 'fidelity', so I didn't like him much haha. One day after finishing dinner and leaving the canteen, I looked up and saw him walking ahead of us: tall stature, thinning hair, carrying a backpack, and surprisingly holding a tanghulu (candied haws)! Eating while walking, extremely happy. My classmates and I decided to sneakily follow him, laughing all the way until we shook. I still remember this scene, very cute. Made this scene into a small animation, using the previous 'walking paper puppet' style.

Create an animation video using only JavaScript. The theme is "What is Claude Code?". 15 seconds, 16:9 aspect ratio, hand-drawn paper collage style, with Japanese narration. I will leave the script, materials, animation, and composition entirely to you. Use gpt-image-2.5 for images and Gemini TTS for voice.

make an animated short that felt like Hedgehog in the Fog. I didn’t want to copy Yuri Norstein’s film, so we went with a new story. It runs for 6.5 minutes. All 9363 frames are drawn by JavaScript code written by Opus. No video or image generation models, just canvas. It follows a little mouse in a red scarf. Her grandfather, an old mole, is out fishing when fog rolls over the lake. She goes looking for him with a walnut-shell lantern and a sleeping firefly inside. They have a secret knock to help them find each other: short, short, long. It means "I’m here". Norstein used paper cutouts on layers of glass, filmed frame by frame. I wanted some of that paper texture to come through in code. So the scenes use different styles: torn-paper collage, chalk on black paper, tissue paper underwater. There’s even sand on a light table and a pop-up book. Opus wrote the music too. It found Steinway piano samples in my Logic library and used Python to compose the score around the rhythm of that knock.

Using the reference image as the exact final frame, create a 10-second stop-motion-inspired fluid CGI animation of a single thick red braided rope forming the word “Smiling” on a pure white seamless background. At the beginning, the rope is loose and unformed, scattered in soft loops across the frame, with 4–5 tiny clay-like miniature characters wearing simple rope-green overalls and no distinct facial features standing around it. They quickly grab the rope and work together, pulling, stretching, coiling, twisting, and tying it into shape. The rope progressively transforms into the cursive letters “S-m-i-l-i-n-g”, moving smoothly from left to right. Each letter must be created entirely from the same continuous rope, with realistic braided fibers, intricate knots, overlapping loops, natural crossings, and clean negative spaces matching the reference image. The characters playfully climb over and around the rope while shaping each letter, coordinating their movements as the word becomes recognizable. The camera remains completely static and top-down, with consistent soft studio lighting, subtle shadows beneath the rope, and no background elements. In the final 1–2 seconds, the characters finish the last knot on the “g,” step back and hop away, leaving the completed “Smiling” rope artwork clearly visible and matching the reference image. No cuts, no camera movement, no independently generated text, no extra objects. Smooth continuous motion, tactile rope physics, realistic fibers, playful miniature stop-motion aesthetic blended with polished CGI.

A social media short video under 15 seconds. * Do not display the attached image at the beginning. Theme: "#HeartAction".

Create a 21-second vertical cinematic stop-motion animation in 9:16 format. A small humanoid figure made entirely of smooth beach stones in natural shapes comes to life in a shallow tide pool on a rocky coast. Each body part is built from individual stones — a large oval stone as the head, rounded stones stacked for the torso, smaller stones forming arms and legs. The scene is filmed through a slightly blurred wire mesh fence, creating a natural foreground frame. Behind the character, there is a calm shoreline, shallow sea water, barnacle-covered rocks, seaweed, and a softly blurred forest under an overcast sky. Photorealistic textures, muted natural colors, shallow depth of field, realistic water reflections. Animation: The stone figure slowly balances and begins to move like a playful little human. It shifts weight, lifts a leg, bends its knees, swings its stone arms, and performs a quirky, cute dance while carefully maintaining balance on the wet surface. Small ripples form under each step, and its reflection moves naturally in the water. The movements should feel like handmade stop-motion, slightly imperfect but believable, with realistic stone physics and weight. In the final seconds, the figure loses its balance, trips, and collapses naturally, with individual stones separating and rolling onto the shallow wet ground. The character completely disassembles into ordinary stones. End with the camera maintaining focus on the scattered stones and their reflections. Camera: fixed vertical smartphone-style composition, subtle natural camera movement, medium-full shot, low angle near water level, strong foreground bokeh from the fence, cinematic depth of field. Lighting: soft, diffused daylight, overcast coastal atmosphere, realistic reflections and highlights on wet stones. Style: ultra-realistic live-action environment + whimsical photorealistic stone stop-motion character, tactile stone textures, physically believable movement, cinematic macro photography, no CGI-looking surfaces, no text, no humans. Negative prompt: cartoon, plastic-looking stones, exaggerated facial features, smooth CGI character, floating objects, unrealistic physics, extra limbs, changing environment, camera cuts, text, watermark, over-saturated colors.
