Someone used Claude Sonnet 5.5 to make a 30-second, 1080p, 60 fps motion graphics video for Reddit entirely in code, for about $35 in API-equivalent tokens. → Every frame is drawn on a canvas in headless Chrome and encoded with ffmpeg, with a synthesized soundtrack → No After Effects, no stock footage and no video model → The 30-second version used 14 sub-agents, and the whole project took 779 tool calls over about 2.4 hours → Total cost was $35.40 at Sonnet 5.5 prices vs $50.48 for the same tokens on Opus 5.5 Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1wtagdd/sonnet_55_did_this_opus_55_quality_with_half_price/
