HOLY SH*T

i tried recreating kurzgesagt style animation and it's mindblowing

the creator behind the channel spends 1200 hours with a full animation team

this takes 20min with just claude opus 5.5 and am giving the prompt completely for free

here's the prompt ->

<inputs>
Ask me for: one topic as a "what if" question (default: "What if the Sun vanished?"), the length (default 30 seconds), and whether I have an ElevenLabs key (if not, use a free local voice).
</inputs>

<direction>
A Kurzgesagt-style animated explainer at 1920x1080, 30fps, drawn entirely in code: one 2D canvas plus one WebGL canvas for planets.
Space: a vertical gradient #081d2c to #102348, five huge parallax nebula blobs (teal rgb 24,150,160 at 20%, blue 40,95,195 at 16%, coral 220,95,110 at 10%, indigo 60,70,175 at 15%), three star layers at parallax depths .12/.35/.6 that twinkle, 40% of the near stars drawn as 4-point sparkles.
The Sun: radius 300px, half off the left edge. A radial gradient #fff7dc to #ffc857 to #ff8f4a with an offset highlight, additive halo rings at 1.23/1.48/1.76/2.1x the radius, 18 faint rotating ray wedges, 28 drifting glowing granules on its surface.
Earth: an orthographic sphere in a fragment shader, 4x supersampled, from a 2048x1024 map painted from longitude/latitude polygons: land #5fc47a, forest #48ad6b, desert #f5c75f, rainforest #3a9d62, ice #f1f8ff, ocean gradient #4dc7eb to #1a66b8, white capsule clouds. Tilt .26 rad, spin .55 degrees per second. Day/night uses smoothstep(-.12, .24, N·L) with the light direction recomputed from Sun to Earth every frame. Navy night side with ~380 warm city lights, a coral band on the terminator, a cyan rim, ocean specular, an atmosphere halo that is stronger on the lit side.
A small astronaut mascot (~180px) built from rounded rectangles: suit #f3f7fb, orange #ff8f4a boots, a visor gradient #1f5a73 to #0a1c2c with glowing cyan eyes that look at whatever matters, a blinking antenna light, an idle bob, squash and stretch on every pose.
Type: Fredoka 600/700 only. Captions in caps with 3-6px letter spacing in teal #8fd8e6, gold #ffd98a or white, sitting in rounded pills of rgb(6,20,40) at 62%. Every line of text rises 1.3x its own height through a clip on an ease-out-quint.
Finish: a vignette to rgba(4,4,20,.45) and a 6% film grain re-randomized 24 times per second.
Banned: outlines, flares or loops on the Sun's edge, static infographic strips, full stops in on-screen text, text that fades in whole, AI images or AI video, Kurzgesagt's own characters, bird or music.
</direction>

<structure>
30 seconds, every line of narration gets a camera move or a transformation, nothing ever holds still.
Tight on the Sun at 2.25x (0s) → on the word "vanished" it swells 6% for 0.22s, collapses in 0.33s, then a white flash and a shockwave ring (1s) → pull back to 1x revealing Earth still lit and the astronaut staring at the empty spot (1.6-3s) → on "eight" an 8:20 countdown slams in from 1.7x to 1x and starts ticking, a "LAST LIGHT" label rides the edge of the growing dark disc (3.2s) → dive to 2.3x on Earth with light streaks flowing in (5.6s) → on "you" a YOU pin drops (7s) → on "left" a photon lands on the pin with "THIS LIGHT LEFT THE SUN / 8 MIN 20 SEC AGO" (7.5s) → on "play" the pin morphs into a play button, "YOU PRESSED PLAY / 15 SEC AGO" (8.8s) → one pull-back from 2.4x to a 0.3x orbit view, "LAST LIGHT" and "GRAVITY" riding the ring (9.6-12.5s) → on "nothing" a dotted circle at the empty centre (13.4s) → on "hits" the darkness sweeps Earth in 0.7s, city lights pop on, the countdown turns gold at 0:00 (15.8s) → on "black" the background fades almost to black (17.4s) → Jupiter appears, "STILL SHINING FOR 1 HOUR+" (17.9s) → zoom out, a dashed tangent line, "30 KM/S" as Earth flies straight off (20.8s) → a thermometer counts 15 to -70°C while frost grows from the poles (22.8s) → a 0.8s rewind on a separate story clock (24.3s) → sunglasses drop onto the astronaut (25.2s) → a photon tagged "8:20 OLD", then the title (27.7s).
For any other topic, keep the same shape: the event happens on its word, pull back to show scale, dive in to make it personal ("you"), pull back out, the consequence with a live counter, an escalation, a funny beat with the mascot, a callback and the title.
</structure>

<build>
1. One HTML file. Every frame is a pure function of time: https://t.co/cTZzFgqbdH(t) draws frame t. No timers, no CSS animation.
2. Camera moves on easeInOutCubic, zoom is interpolated in log space, every pop is a damped spring (damping .42-.5, frequency 12-16).
3. Voice: ElevenLabs eleven_v4 with a designed voice (calm, warm, curious male, late 30s, crisp, light neutral European English), stability .5, similarity .75, generated with timestamps. Without a key, use kokoro-onnx locally and get word times with faster-whisper. Every animation event fires on its word. About 165 words per minute, 0.24s between sentences, a 0.36s beat before the big reveal.
4. The darkness front: any pixel within the front's radius from the Sun turns to night with a 30px soft edge. The front moves at ~47px/s and ramps to 700px/s near Earth.
5. Keep two clocks: ambient time for twinkle, spin and bob, and a separate story clock for events, so a rewind stays consistent.
6. Render with Playwright in headless Edge with the GPU: seek every frame at 30fps and blend 2 subframes (shutter 0.6) for motion blur, then encode with libx264 at CRF 16 for the master and CRF 20 for delivery.
7. Sound: a calm royalty-free space music bed 7dB under the voice, timed so its natural ending lands on the title, swelling 5dB under the title. One downloaded royalty-free sound effect per event kind (collapse, impact, pull-back whoosh, countdown tick, dive, pin tap, photon land, play click, light hit, reveal, frost, rewind), each peak-aligned to its frame and 4-10dB under the voice. Master with gain plus a limiter to -14 LUFS, -2.2dB true peak.
</build>

<gotchas>
Make the WebGL globe canvas at least 2 x radius x zoom x 1.18 pixels or the sphere clips flat in close-ups. Never draw prominences on the Sun's edge, they read as white hooks. Never pad the voice to fit the visuals, tighten the read instead. Speed the darkness front up near Earth or it takes 13 seconds to cross the planet. Show me a contact sheet of every beat before rendering.
</gotchas>

<start>
Ask me the inputs, write the narration with the beat each word triggers, show it to me, then build and render the video.

[trey @treyscalez]

@finnardley nah we gotta to stop bro

[trey @treyscalez]

@Mangascaleee Bro 😭😭

[trey @treyscalez]

i thought redesigning it will look better in your eyes

well here's the real one guys

lock in lmao

[trey @treyscalez]

HOLY SH*T

don't sleep on these opus 5.5 animations

they are a F*CKING money printer

[trey @treyscalez]

@madridtalkz no excuse 😂

[trey @treyscalez]

HOLY SH*T

don't sleep on these opus 5.5 animations

they are a F*CKING money printer

[trey @treyscalez]

@kirisando welldone brother

[Kirisando @kirisando]

I did the f*cking work for you.

Tested this guy's viral cartoon prompt on my own Claude Opus 5.5 and screen-recorded the whole thing.

The first video is the result after a couple of small tweaks. The second is my screen recording, 37 minutes sped up to one.

Full prompt is in the reply. Keep scrolling to see what other people made with it, or paste it into Claude with your own story.

Story: Casanova, Venice 1754, and a betting system that "couldn't lose". Every frame is drawn in code (three.js + headless Chrome), the voice is a free local model, the music is written in numpy. $0 on image or video tools.

[trey @treyscalez]

@theoxmotion nah bro am sueing u for leaking this

[trey @treyscalez]

have u ever noticed this

whenever a first video blew up a channel

the videos posted after always flop

[trey @treyscalez]

@madridtalkz i aint a goat bro

[trey @treyscalez]

HOLY SH*T

this random guy made an open web with varieties of different ai formats going viral

and he is giving it to public completely for free, am definitely checking it myself

save it and check it later, (post below)

don't want to interrupt ur doomscroll

[Theo @theoxmotion]

i started posting 2 weeks ago and this account already did 1 MILLION impressions

12K bookmarks too, almost double the likes (still crazy to me)

the hardest part was the ideas

finding a good one AND the right clip for it at the same time

so i built a library for it ↓

-> 1,000 videos that blew past their page's usual views
-> each one with the real numbers and why it popped
-> 1,000 post ideas with the numbers behind them

claim one and it's yours, nobody else can take it

also added a lucky wheel for up to 3 extra claims (it's provably fair, ur browser checks every spin)

it's free, link in the first reply

what's harder for u, finding the idea or the clip?

[trey @treyscalez]

@Imanscales why not

[trey @treyscalez]

@diorscales fr bro

[caesar @caesarscales]

i just recreated this viral roblox animation style in claude code for $0 (except the claude subscription)

claude wrote the whole script character shots camera angle in code

then it ran blender on my pc to render the frames on my gpu and stitched the captions and sound together in the cloud

ALL WHILE I WAS SLEEPING

this is my first post on here and i just want to introduce myself a bit ,

i will NEVER ask you to pay for anything and will leak and opensource everything i post the only thing i ask in return is a follow to the account

anyways here is the free prompt steal it for yourself

[trey @treyscalez]

@caesarscales drop the prompt bro

[trey @treyscalez]

@finnardley insane aura

[trey @treyscalez]

@linus5x well, he hasn't started posting on the other accounts yet, but am sure they will have an extra push

[trey @treyscalez]

HOLY SH*T

this has to be one of the most goated schemes I've seen in a while

some guy created a channel, & the first video went viral

this mf went ahead & created 9 different channels

all under the first channel name & kept collaborating with the channels for a whole month

the result, all of the channel's now have more than 1K subs

remember lads, it's a volume game
