Animation videos with Claude Opus 5.5

A native Android animation with shader effects drawn live, no keyframes.

Two days of work produced a faithful recreation of the Anthropic launch video from JavaScript, Python and Blender inside Claude Code.

Opus 5.5 animated an ant colony purely with code rather than a video model, and the creator turned the process into a drop-in Claude skill others can reuse.

A personal-story animation where every frame was code-drawn and the model reviewed contact sheets of its own shots and fixed issues.

MIT engine where an agent writes a short film as code, renders offline and inspects its own frames; most example shorts were made with Opus 5.5 at medium effort.

A structured workspace with brief, script, storyboard, scene code and renders that lets Claude Code produce narrated videos, shared with its architecture on GitHub.

A team made nine versions of a motion-graphics promo without opening an editor or reading code, speaking changes to AgentX, their open-source runner that drives Claude Code.

The builder reran a viral prompt on their own side project and let Claude Code produce a full product explainer unattended, using an OpenRouter key capped at $10.

A polished explainer video generated end to end by Opus 5.5 through the API for $3.21 of usage, which then inspired others to rerun the same prompt on their own products.

A single-shot animated train ride in risograph style, drawn in code with a sampled grand-piano score, built in about 45 minutes. The author shared the full repo so others can have Claude pull it into a new project.
