OUR NOTEStorybook ants carry leaf fragments across a sunny meadow to their anthill, animated with code rather than a video model; the creator packaged the process as an open-source Claude animation skill.
Claude Opus 5.5 animated this. With code. Not a video model.
I turned the process into a skill.
Drop it in your Claude and create your own Claude animation: https://github.com/buildwithhanif/claude-animation-skillTHE PROMPT

TURN AN HTML ANIMATION INTO AN MP4 →
The creator didn't name their tools. Most videos like this are HTML, canvas or SVG animation written by Claude and screen-recorded or rendered to MP4 — how that works.
