Opus 5.5 recreates a viral 3D x-ray video from one prompt
Without a video model, Opus 5.5 wrote code that redraws the original frame by frame as a colored-pencil and watercolor animation, with the full prompt and steps shared.
Opus 5.5 copied a viral 3D x-ray video with one prompt and no video model. No video model and no filter on the original frames. Opus wrote the code that draws every frame from scratch. How: 1. Download the video you want to recreate 2. Give Opus the file and the prompt below 3. It maps the shots, writes the animation code and renders it with the original audio The prompt: Recreate this video as a hand-drawn colored pencil + watercolor animation. Rules: - Vanilla JavaScript + HTML canvas only. Draw every frame yourself in code. Never trace or filter the source frames. Use them only as reference for shots, poses, timing and camera moves. - Match the source's cuts. Go through it shot by shot and write a shot list with timestamps. - Draw 12 new frames per second, each with slightly different line jitter so it looks like frame-by-frame animation. - Style: colored pencil outlines in 2 passes with varying pressure, pencil hatching for shadows, watercolor washes under the lines, paper grain texture. Distinct color per character. - Build reusable, posable characters and props, and drive all motion from keyframes. Close-ups are camera zooms into the same drawings. - Transcribe the voice-over with word timestamps. Hand-letter every word on screen at the moment it is spoken, as part of the design: highlight, underline or box the key words. - Render test stills of every scene, look at them, fix what looks wrong, then render all frames and mux with the original audio in ffmpeg. - Check the first and last frames. No black frames. Took one session. The whole film is JavaScript. Astra 6 is old news...
