How Claude made our film using only Anymatix for the contents
This film was scripted and created by Claude, Anthropic's AI assistant, using Anymatix for the music, the videos and the stills. We asked for a film and said yes or no to what came back.
What Claude did
- The pictures. It wrote a prompt for each one and ran it on the z-image turbo card, two or three takes each, then kept the best. Next to most pictures in the film is the prompt that made it; the last three carry the feature they illustrate, in the home page's words.
- The plain man. It asked the Moss Image card for a hyper-real, unretouched face in perfect light, made four, and kept the most ordinary one.
- The music. It set the ACE-Step song card to a 52-second instrumental at 110 beats a minute, made three takes, measured how long each one really plays, and kept the one that lasts the whole film.
- The cut. It put the film together with ffmpeg and ImageMagick, driven by a short Python script it wrote: each picture beside its prompt, the app itself near the start, the name at the end.
How it planned the cut
- A shot list first. Thirteen shots, each with its length in seconds: the singer under the name, the app editing a scooter, five pictures, the edit, the plain man, a picture that comes to life, three more pictures, the end card. Pictures get about two seconds, the edit and the moving clip get longer because something happens in them.
- The same layout as the website. Picture on the left with a slow push-in, the prompt on the right, the card's name under it in red, so the film and the page read the same way.
- Every shot rendered on its own, then joined. A shot could be redone without touching the others.
- It watched its own draft. It pulled frames out of the first cut and looked at them. The name sat across the singer's face with a subtitle over her phone, so it dropped the subtitle and moved the name down onto a dark gradient.
- Music to fit the film. It measured each take's loudness second by second and where it falls silent. Two takes stopped at about 43 seconds; the film runs 49, so it kept the one that plays to the end and faded it out on the end card.
How Claude uses Anymatix
Anymatix lets Claude use the app the way you do: open a card, fill in the prompt, press Run, look at the result. Everything in this film ran on a Linux computer with an NVIDIA card, with the same cards you get in the free beta.
What it threw away
A furry blue monster holding a graphics card, because it looked too much like a famous film character. A luggage tag that was meant to say RENTED and came out as RENTD. Two more takes of the woman on the beach that were good, just less good.
