Claude One-Shots a Full Music Video: P(doom) MV Source Code Goes Open Source
trq212 · x · 2026-09-24
Developer Donald Jewkes had Claude independently produce an end-to-end remake of a music video: keep the original audio track, design visuals for every lyric, and freely browse the web for references, including abstract motion graphics.
The result, the "I'm Upping My P(doom)" music video, is open-sourced on GitHub (JohnHeibel/PDoomVideo, 306 stars, 22 forks). Per the README:
- Everything was done in Claude Code across two generations: the first used Claude Opus 5.5 (Medium), the rest used Claude Opus 5.5.
- Every file in the repo was model-generated. No scene ideas were specified; the only direction was to use the Clawd character design and give each lyric interesting visuals and transitions.
- ANIMATIONGUIDE.md was written by Opus itself to brief the subagents it ran in parallel; STORYBOARD.md was also produced by Opus after the first generation, instructed to use P5 brushstrokes, make each scene visually interesting, and make every scene transition into the next.
- The repo includes assets, legacy and src folders plus render.mjs and studio.html.
Poster trq212's take: "Claude one-shot this," alongside a 10k-character prompt with takes, skills, examples and API keys.
