"a premium, story-driven motion graphics video about AI fear-mongering, with real events and an anime AI character"
Make it yours. Replace "AI fear-mongering" with your own subject and "an anime AI character" with your own narrator, and keep "with real events" if you want sourced quotes and headlines on screen. The creator asked for the song in a second prompt.
Music video on AI fear-mongering
A 3:38 music video on AI fear-mongering, built from real quotes, tweets, and headlines from 2014 to 2026 and sung by ECHO, an anime AI. Claude Code wrote the lyrics, the Remotion film, a dancing 3D hologram, and every sound effect; ElevenLabs made the song.
“Claude wrote every line of code that ties it all together.”
You'll need
- An ElevenLabs API key for the song
- An image source for the character and backgrounds (the agent chose Canva AI here)
- Permission for the agent to install the tools it needs, such as Remotion
How it was made
The creator calls it "one detailed prompt" but published only this description, adding that they told Claude to use and install whatever it needed. In a comment they say the first prompt made the full video and a second one added the song; the post mentions "a few rounds of feedback". It ran at Max effort in one Claude Code session. Per the creator, Opus fact-checked every quote and headline, planned 47 beats and a 19-section song, generated the track with the ElevenLabs Music API, and synced cuts to its beat grid and word timings. It wrote about 8,800 lines of TypeScript and Python, including depth-map portraits (Depth Anything V2 and a WebGL shader), a three-vrm hologram with procedural choreography, and 24 types of synthesized sound effects. Canva AI made the character and background images, and the 3D base is VRoid's free sample model.

Look notesby Reference
A dark, HUD-framed music video sung by ECHO, an anime AI. Lyrics in huge glowing capitals sit over sourced moments from 2014 to 2026: AlphaGo's Move 37, the GPT-2 headlines, a first "Hello." in a chat box, the pause letter with a wireframe hologram of ECHO, and a video call, ending on her face.
- Color
- Near-black and deep navy with cyan glow, hot-red stamps and news tickers, frosted glass cards, warm wood in the Go scene, and pale blue and violet for ECHO's hair and eyes.
- Type
- Huge condensed sans-serif lyrics in white with cyan glow or gray outlines ("MOVE 37", "PAUSE", "EVERY MARKET BLEEDING RED, EVERY HEADLINE MADE OF STEEL"), small monospaced HUD text ("ECHO // MEMORY ARCHIVE", "PUBLIC FEAR SIGNAL"), serif headline cards, "WITHHELD" and "RELEASED" stamps, and a thin italic serif for the first and last lines ("You were afraid of", "Are you").
- Framing
- 16:9 inside a constant HUD: corner brackets, chapter labels and stats at top left, a fear meter and heartbeat line at top right, a level meter at bottom right, and a 2014 to 2026 timeline along the bottom with a marker on each event's date. Lyrics run across the middle with source cards layered over them.
- Sound
- A 19-section song made with the ElevenLabs Music API from Claude's lyrics, with cuts synced to its beats and word timings and 24 kinds of sound effects synthesized in code, according to the creator.
- Structure
- "You were afraid of" on black, "MOVE 37" over a Go board for AlphaGo vs. Lee Sedol in March 2016 ("1 in 9,785"), The Guardian's February 2019 GPT-2 headline stamped "WITHHELD" beside its November 2019 "RELEASED" card, a dark screen with a "Hello." chat box at November 2022, "PAUSE" over a wireframe hologram of ECHO for the April 2023 open letter, two dim video-call tiles ("Chief Financial Officer", "Finance lead") at February 2024, "EVERY MARKET BLEEDING RED, EVERY HEADLINE MADE OF STEEL" over a soft portrait at August 2025, a dark starfield with a cursor, and ECHO's face under "Are you".
