Code is eating motion graphics: a full launch video in 20 minutes, ~$40, with Opus 5.5

Developer cedrickchee argues "code is starting to eat motion graphics and explainer videos." Using Opus 5.5, he shipped a launch video for an agentic-engineering startup in about 20 minutes for roughly $40, with animation, music, and voiceover—all written as code and rendered by an agent, with no video generation model involved. He sees a new kind of media emerging and has used the workflow as a daily driver for days; the full write-up is in a GitHub Gist.
