[!NOTE] Nothing here generates pixels. There is no Sora, Veo, Runway or other video model, and no video API or per-video credits. Your coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and similar) writes a script and scene code; a small engine draws every frame from that code on your machine. The agent is the only AI in the loop.

What it does

You ask your coding agent for a film:

Make a 60-second stickman ad for a made-up app that ends the "whose turn is it?"
chore fight at home. Catchy music, a clear story, an intro and an outro.

The agent follows the skills in this repo and produces two files:

• film.json: the clips, narration, theme, music, intro and outro
• scenes.js: the choreography, written against the engine

Then it runs the pipeline: voice-over and music are generated locally, the film is composed, checked, snapshotted for visual review, and rendered to MP4. Chorus above was made this way.
