A 3-minute documentary film tracing the history of AI — from "Attention Is All You Need" to AGI — where every single frame is generated from code. No stock footage, no image generators: ~7,400 lines of React/TypeScript using Remotion, every visual drawn in SVG and Canvas, an open-source TTS voice, and a musical score synthesized in Python. @kimmonismus built the whole thing with Claude Opus 5.5 via Claude Code in about one hour, spending just 7% of a weekly API budget.

  • Every frame is pure code: SVG illustrations and Canvas graphics replace stock footage entirely
  • Full production pipeline in one session — narration (TTS), original score (Python synthesis), and 7,400 lines of Remotion/TypeScript
  • Built in ~1 hour at 7% of a weekly API rate, start to finish with Claude Opus 5.5

“I wanted to quickly create a short video with Opus 5.5 about the history of AI, from "Attention is all you need" to AGI. No stock footage, no image or video generators: every frame is rendered from code. This 3-minute film was made 100% in code by Claude in Claude Code: ~7,400 lines of React/TypeScript (Remotion), every image drawn in SVG and Canvas, an open-source TTS voice, and a score synthesized in Python. No stock footage. No image generators. Id say pretty cool! Tookl about 1h and 7% weekly rates.”
