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