A 45-second paper-collage style animated video of the Momotaro folktale was made with Claude Opus 5.5 using a detailed structured prompt, with images from Codex and narration/sound effects from ElevenLabs.

Full prompt2,334 chars

Make a 45-second paper-collage animation of Momotaro (the Japanese folktale).

[Look]
A pop-up picture book: the book opens and paper pieces stand up one by one.
Washi paper cut-out (kirie) texture. The 3D effect comes from images and code only. Do not use any video-generation AI.

[How to build it]
1. First, write the script and show it to me (8 scenes, 4-9 seconds each; the only on-screen text is short onomatopoeia such as "donburako").
2. Once I approve the script, write the image-generation prompts:
- one texture reference image
- characters and backgrounds as sheets of separate paper cut-outs on transparent backgrounds
3. I will generate the images and hand them to you. Then animate them in Python:
- make it look 3D with five tricks: depth, parallax, blur, shadows, and motion blur
- 1920x1080, 24 fps
- for each scene, show me 4 still frames first so I can check
4. Add narration and background music.

[Rules]
- Do not wobble or shake the pictures. Movement is only slow pushes in and pulls back.
- Don't give me English-only prompts; add an explanation in my language too.

@ckrtttt @nakazakifam ありがとうございます。

以下のようなプロンプトをClaudeに入力すると作れるはずです。
役割分担としては、
・Codexは画像生成
・ElevenLabsはBGM・ナレーション生成
です。
ClaudeとMCP連携し、Claude上で依頼する感じです。
