## Made by AI

- Made with: Claude Opus 5.5
- How we know: X post (2026-09-23, Chinese): 'Claude Opus 5.5 can turn a real-person talking-head video directly into an animated explainer… The original is my 83-second talking-head clip. Now the main frame is line-art animation and I'm shrunk to a round picture-in-picture; original audio, subtitles and length untouched. Conditions: clean Claude Code, safe mode, effort high, none of my Skills loaded.'
- Human role: Creator supplied his own 83-second talking-head clip; Opus 5.5 in a clean Claude Code session (effort high) replaced the main frame with line-art animation.
- Pipeline: Talking-head video → Claude Code (Opus 5.5) → code-drawn line-art animation with original audio → 84-second clip
- Series: Code-rendered film (LLM writes the program that draws every frame)
