The creator didn't say which agent they used; the model was Claude Opus 5.5. Any capable coding agent should work. 2. Set up what the prompt expects: Your song, given to the agent as a link or a file (the prompt gives a YouTube link); Whatever local tools or MCP servers you're willing to let the agent use. 3. Follow the prompt below. It is the creator's text, unedited. 4. To adapt it to a new subject or look: Replace the backstory and the YouTube link with your own song. Keep the request line "make an anime style music video for this combining anime and any other world class animations with motion graphics, quick cuts" and swap "bitcoin culture references" for your own subject. - Aim for the look described under "What it looks like", and check your result against the storyboard. ## Prompt ```text I helped my friend reel richard make this song in 2024. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB2A8_g2ejM I helped him with creative direction, sourced clips that we used for the majority of the spoken audio. I hunted through hours and hours of frankie footage to get all the sources of his actual voice. Richard did all the music and editing. It's an homage to bitcoiners & bitcoin culture. An anthem. I would love to see if you can make an anime style music video for this combining anime and any other world class animations with motion graphics, quick cuts, bitcoin culture references, anime style cameos of the people speaking. use whatever native tools, local tools or MCPs you want ``` ## What it looks like Written by Reference from the video frames, not by the creator. A painterly anime music video set in a seaside town under a swirling storm of banknotes, with anime portraits of named speakers, a TV pundit, a charging honey badger, a cheering crowd with orange flags, a man in a tracksuit flying through the clouds, and a BTC/USD chart. - Color: Golden-hour oranges and ambers against slate-gray storm clouds, green hills and pale-green banknotes, a black tracksuit with red stripes, and a black chart screen with green and red candles. - Type: Black lower-third name cards in white bold capitals with orange subtitles ("REP. BRAD SHERMAN, HOUSE HEARING, 2023", "MICHAEL SAYLOR, "THERE IS NO SECOND BEST"") and small katakana names above, heavy outlined captions ("STACK SOME BITCOIN"), and "FROM ABSOLUTE ZERO" over the chart. - Framing: 16:9 anime frames: medium portraits set off center with name cards at bottom left, wide hillside and town views with the storm vortex filling the sky, and one flat chart screen. - Sound: The song "Preparation" by Reel Richard, a plunderphonics track built from bitcoiners' recorded voices, according to the creator. - Structure: Rep. Brad Sherman at a hearing with banknotes floating from his hand, a pundit on an old TV captioned "LIVE PUNDIT: "NO INTRINSIC VALUE"", a man in a tracksuit holding up a gold bitcoin under "STACK SOME BITCOIN", a honey badger charging through flying cash, a town square crowd waving orange flags, the tracksuit man floating among banknotes in the clouds, Michael Saylor shouting in front of the storm, a BTC/USD chart climbing "FROM ABSOLUTE ZERO" to one tall green candle, and the tracksuit man raising a fist at sunset over the sea.

The creator helped with creative direction in 2024 and sourced the spoken clips, which are the speakers' real recorded voices. The prompt leaves the tools to Opus ("use whatever native tools, local tools or MCPs you want"), and the creator doesn't say which it used. Opus also made a portrait version, posted in a reply. > Opus did it justice > (@bradmillscan) ## Links - Watch: https://x.com/bradmillscan/status/2103600013272105197 - Original post: https://x.com/bradmillscan/status/2103600013272105197 - Prompt, posted as a reply: https://x.com/bradmillscan/status/2103600874601824386 - Portrait version: https://x.com/bradmillscan/status/2103618667896602773 - The song on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB2A8_g2ejM
