38-minute Asimov film with every frame drawn as SVG code by Claude

A Reddit user turned Asimov's "The Last Question" into a 38-minute animated film — with no image generator at all. Every scene is vector art written as SVG code by Claude (Fable 5.2 via Claude Code), animated only with slow camera moves, light and dissolves. It holds one calm visual style across 31 scenes and seven ages, from a warm basement in 2061 to a nearly black sky at the end of time.
Pipeline: Claude Code wrote the storyboard, drew the scenes, reviewed its own work and built the compositor; voice by ElevenLabs; music by Suno mixed under narration. The author directed style, picked voice and music, and said "no, calmer" a lot. Non-commercial tribute, takedown offered to the Asimov estate.
