How one prompt made this entire animated short film
This whimsical paper cutout short about the purpose of life came from a single prompt in Claude Code. Opus 5.5 wrote the script, generated the collage art, picked a text to speech voice and animated it all in pure JavaScript.
It was a true one shot, about 1 hour 20 minutes of work, $3.21 of OpenRouter API calls across 8 different services. The creator posted it unedited, flaws included, to show what one prompt does on its own.
