Claude Animated Shorts

What is Claude Animated Shorts?

Claude Animated Shorts is a free skill for Claude Code that generates 55 to 70 second vertical animated videos. It places 2D characters into colorful 3D environments rendered locally on your computer using three.js and Remotion. The tool handles script generation, voice synthesis, shot planning, still image creation, and final video rendering without relying on external AI video generators.

The repository includes a complete pipeline documented in SKILL.md, along with reference materials for style consistency. Users can install the skill by copying the folder to their local Claude skills directory. The system requires Node, Python 3, ffmpeg, and Remotion with the three.js package to run.

All code and documentation are released under the MIT license. The project provides reference frames and contact sheets for visual study, but users must supply their own story concepts, characters, and voice tracks. Rendering happens entirely on the user machine, requiring sufficient disk space for temporary files.
