Opus 5.5 + Claude Code: a 10-tool motion studio pipeline
A ten-step brief-to-mp4 pipeline driven by Opus 5.5 in Claude Code, using Excalidraw, Penpot, GSAP, three.js, Remotion and ffmpeg with a five-check export gate.
this is pure f*cking treasure 10 open-source tools, 542K+ combined stars, run a one-person motion studio from brief to final mp4 opus 5.5 + claude code in the chair. one tool per step. (1/10) excalidraw - storyboard: hook, scene order, transitions (2/10) penpot - style frames + color system (3/10) fontsource - typography lockup (4/10) lucide - icon set, one stroke (5/10) svgo - clean every vector (6/10) gsap - motion + easing (7/10) three.js - 3D scenes + camera (8/10) audacity - sound mix (9/10) remotion - assemble in code (10/10) ffmpeg - encode final mp4 5-check gate before export: storyboard, assets, motion, sound, encode. one fail and the scene is cut, it never ships. the ledger logs it: frames rendered, scenes shipped vs cut. the loop: brief -> storyboard -> visuals -> type -> assets -> motion -> 3D -> sound -> assembly -> export concept render below ↓
