🚨 OPUS 5.5 ONE SHOT Anime episode

I made an 8½-minute Arabic-dubbed anime pilot, «شظية الفجر» (Shard of Dawn), in about 14 hours, directing Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code.

Characters, voices, music, animation, final render. Episode 1 👇

Opus 5.5 didn't just write code. It ran the production like a studio:
• planned 211 shots from my script
• built a custom 2D animation engine from scratch
• cast 11 voices and directed 70 lines of Arabic dub
• wrote the sound mixer, subtitles and render pipeline

By the numbers:
🎬 211 shots · 8:33 runtime
🎨 300+ generated images (characters, locations, cut-ins)
🎙️ 70 voiced lines · 11 characters
🎵 16 music cues · 105 sound effects
⏱️ ~14 hours from first API call to final render

What blew me away ONE SHOT IT.

The stack:
• Claude Code + Opus 5.5: director, engineer, QA
• ElevenLabs v3: voices, music, sound effects
• an image model: the artwork

The engine, timing, lip flaps, mix and subtitles are all code Opus wrote. One person, one day.

Should I make episode 2? 👀
