Ror_Fly · x · 2026-09-30
RorFly showcases an animation built purely from assets + code — no video generators: a recreation of the map segment of The Fellowship of the Ring. Stats: 7,042 frames, 23 drafts, zero hours in After Effects, with a little ElevenLabs for sound and narration. Crediting the "Opus 5.5 + GPT6-Astra" combo, the author says "I don't know where we're at, but this is different."
