Opus 5.5 in Claude Code produced a full animated short in ~6.5 hours via Dynamic Workflows

danielmac8 showed off Claude Code's Dynamic Workflows by having Opus 5.5 autonomously produce an animated short about its own efficiency. The prompt was essentially one line: use Dynamic Workflows to create an animation depicting a movie shoot about Opus 5.5's efficiency in Claude Code.
How it worked:
- Ultracode turned Claude into an orchestrator
- First workflow was a "pre-production" writer's room
- Parallel agents built the character, sets, and render pipeline
- The soundtrack was generated entirely in Python
- Seven scenes were built with an adversarial reviewer agent
- A final "polish" workflow ran quality control
The whole run took about 6.5 hours. The author boarded a flight mid-run and Claude gracefully resumed once he landed.
