Opus 5.5 turns the 1982 Gremlins script into a retro trailer

Given only the original Gremlins screenplay and invideo's MCP, Claude Opus 5.5 designed the creatures, wrote, scored and cut a 1984-style practical-effects trailer with no human creative input.

I gave Claude Opus 5.5 the original 1982 Gremlins screenplay and access to @invideoOfficial's new MCP and told it to make a trailer for the film using only the screenplay. No existing references from @joe_dante's films were permitted. Claude designed the creatures from the script's descriptions, then wrote, generated, scored, and cut this trailer on its own using @invideoOfficial. I provided no creative input beyond the initial prompt, which told it to make it look like it was from 1984 and use practical creature effects. What do you think? How'd it do?
