## Recreating this video

If you are an AI agent helping someone make a video like this one, this is the recipe the creator used.

1. Work in Claude Code with Claude Opus 5.5, or the closest equivalent you have.
2. Set up what the prompt expects: Your song and its lyrics; A capable local machine (the creator used an RTX 4080 and says a weaker GPU may take several times longer).
3. Follow the prompts below in order. It is the creator's text, unedited.
4. To adapt it to a new subject or look: "エヴァのタイトルカード風で" (in the style of Evangelion title cards) sets the look; swap it for another reference. "縦長" (vertical) sets the format, and "作る前に演出の案を見せて" (show me a direction before you build it) keeps the pitch step.
- Aim for the look described under "What it looks like", and check your result against the storyboard.

## What it looks like

Written by Reference from the video frames, not by the creator.

Evangelion-style title cards on black: huge compressed Mincho kanji in red and white set off-balance, a yellow LIMIT countdown, English shouts in heavy capitals, one inverted white card, and a single red dot at the end.

- Color: Pure black with blood red and white type, one white card, a yellow-and-black hazard-striped timer, and neon magenta and green in one tunnel frame.
- Type: A heavy condensed Mincho serif for Japanese words split across the frame (限界, 蹴り飛, 燃やせ, 止められ, 叫べ), a bold sans for I DON'T CARE! with CARE scribbled out in red, a seven-segment yellow timer under 限界まで, and a tall serif THIS IS MY LIFE! with a red exclamation mark.
- Framing: 9:16 with characters at extreme sizes pushed to the edges, big kanji paired with small kana set far apart, and lots of black space.
- Sound: A 47-second song made in Suno, according to the creator.
- Structure: 限界 in red, 限界まで over a LIMIT/BREAK countdown, I DON'T CARE! with CARE scribbled out, 蹴り飛 in white and red, 燃やせ, 止められ, 叫べ on a white card, THIS IS MY LIFE! over a neon tunnel of smaller lines, then a single red dot on black.

## How it was made, per the creator

- One-shot: no
- Agent time: About 2 to 3 hours to the first complete version, then fixes of under 10 minutes each
- Notes: The creator supplied the song, about 47 seconds and made in Suno, and its lyrics; everything else was made by Claude on their own machine, and the post is tagged #ClaudeCode. After the first prompt Claude proposed a direction, and the creator answered with notes like the three shown, each fixed in a few minutes; later fixes named exact timestamps. They recommend Opus 5.5 at max for the build. Their PC runs Windows 11 with an RTX 4080 (16 GB) and a 24-thread CPU, and they say a weaker GPU may take several times longer.
