The author tested whether a single Claude Code session could replicate a popular node-canvas AI short-film workflow (concept art, texture pass, video generation, cover, edit) from a one-paragraph brief — mostly successfully.
- Orchestrated via the Atlas Cloud MCP server: Nano Banana 2.1 drew the character and town, Seedance 2.5 turned them into five shots in 15 seconds, GPT Image 2.5 made the title card
- Total cost: $4.67, about 5 minutes
- One miss: a lantern was supposed to float up into the mist but floated on the canal instead
Brief and shot list available in the comments — a reproducible automated creative pipeline.
