Story to animated short entirely in code: Claude renders 2-minute film on a local CPU
EricBuess · x · 2026-09-27
Developer sharathknair wrote a story and had Claude (Opus 5.5 on high) turn it into a finished 2-minute animated short, "What the Tide Keeps" — a Kerala boatbuilder losing his memory and a lullaby missing its last note. Every frame, voice, and note of music is generated as code: no drawings, no stock assets, no AI video models, rendered entirely on a local CPU.
