Vibe-coding a Rhapsody in Blue short film with Claude Opus in 8 cuts

A Redditor with zero animation experience vibe-coded a short film set to a public-domain Rhapsody in Blue, inspired by Fantasia, using Claude Opus 5.5 with Remotion for programmatic animation and ElevenLabs for sound effects, iterating through 8 cuts.
Highlights:
- Unable to articulate the BoJack Horseman-style visual he wanted, he had Claude analyze a YouTube clip via yt-dlp and learned the style is called "boiling lines."
- Claude timed the animation to the music well and independently followed principles from John Lasseter's 1987 animation paper.
A fun weekend project showcasing Claude's ability to translate vague visual intent into working animated output.
