Free playbook · Reel 002

One afternoon. One reel.

The end-to-end pipeline I used to build Claude Cat — 20 AI-generated frames, a typewriter caption, and a 52-second reel rendered straight to the desktop. Every prompt. Every number. Every trap.

What’s inside

  • The style-file contract — one markdown file that locks pistachio, line art, halftone and accent rules across every frame.
  • The reference-anchor pattern — one character + one prop → 20 consistent scenes, because Gemini obeys the inputImagePath.
  • The 52-second math — 20 beats × 2.5 s + 2 s outro, and the chars-per-frame formula that keeps your typewriter from overrunning.
  • Subject-aware cropping — the scale(1.08) trick that stops your subject sitting in the upper half of the frame.
  • One command to render — straight to your Desktop, ready for CapCut or direct upload.
