A Reddit user shares an end-to-end workflow where Claude Opus 5.5 converted a 102-page Physics Reports review ("Network science in sports," Buldú et al.) into a 3-minute Douyin-style explainer video.
Key details:
- Every frame is rendered from code with Remotion — no image or video generation models used
- Networks are computed from real SkillCorner open data and A-League 2024/25 tracking/event data, not hand-drawn
- Every subtitle traces back to a specific page of the review; numbers the video computes itself are labeled as such
- Opus wrote a storyboard first, then sent cuts to two reviewer subagents (a "novice viewer" and a "motion designer") and revised across 20 versions
The hardest part was depth: early drafts were accurate but flat, and getting one clear question to run through the whole film took several rounds. The author offers to share the full workflow and prompts.
