OUR NOTEA claymation short in Blender about an owl who answers letters on a post office night shift; Claude wrote, rigged, animated and scored it through code, with only a few style notes from the creator.
Last night I asked Opus 5.5 to make a short claymation in Blender, and told it the story should be about itself.
It came back with an owl who works the night shift at a post office, answering letters from everyone. Then one letter asks about him.
Claude wrote it, designed the set and the clerk, rigged and animated him entirely through code, rendered it frame by frame on a tiny cloud machine, and synthesised the music box score. My notes were: more clay, darker lighting, put the text over the picture, slow fade at the end. The rest was me typing "continue."
