Full Recipe Revealed: Recreating OpenAI's Super Bowl Ad in 1,440 Frames with AI

Developer prd008 had an agent build a site laying out the full method for recreating OpenAI's Super Bowl ad with AI: one reference, 1,440 frames, a 60-second 24fps 1080p film.
The six-step method:
- Watch for rules: pause at cuts and key poses, log frame contents, camera moves and polarity flips, converting seconds to frame numbers.
- Separate shapes from subjects: draw simple geometry in code (cells, wheels, diagrams); generate grayscale plates for complex subjects like horses, waves, a ship and an astronaut.
- Unify texture: sample image brightness on a fixed grid and turn each sample into a dot — brighter means bigger dots — with the grid anchored to the screen as footage moves behind it.
- Motion as a function of time: use Remotion to drive pushes, wipes, masks and transitions by frame number for fully reproducible frames.
- Compare and correct: sample every half-second across 120 aligned frame pairs, fix large differences first (scale, framing, polarity, cut timing), e.g. moving the ship's entrance four frames earlier.
- Render the film: export all 1,440 frames and encode with FFmpeg.
