A Bilibili creator built a fan MV for "world.execute(me);" entirely with Claude Code (Opus 5.5), and open-sourced the project.

1.01 billion tokens consumed: 975M cache read, 31.6M cache write, 6.6M output — roughly $508 at standard API pricing, about 4 cents per frame.
13,017 frames of 4K/60fps (3m37s) with zero editing or compositing software: every frame drawn purely in code (Canvas 2D + WebGL post-processing), rendered via headless browser and muxed with FFmpeg.
Animation, storyboarding, beat-syncing and thumbnail all coded by Claude across 87 shots, 12,600 lines of code; character silhouettes via ChatGPT imagegen, music untouched by AI.
Over 160,000 debug video frames and 8,900 stills rendered during development.
