How to Make Viral Animated Shorts Using Claude (Full Workflow)

Look at these two videos. This one has 29 million views and it's not a one-off. That channel is brand new and its last 80 shorts got over 200 million views. The other one, that's mine. And no, it didn't come out of an AI video generator. Claude built it in 3D with code every single frame. In this video,

I'll show you exactly how I made this animated short, how I trained Claude on this style frame by frame. What went wrong and how I fixed it, and how you can get it, too. You're going to get all of that for completely free. All right, let's get into it. If you've never seen

this type of short, it's this. The characters are 2D, but the world around them is 3D. So, how do you train Claude to make this? First, you need references. A lot of them. I went to the channel and had Claude download the last 20 shorts in this style, the ones that look this good. Now, here's the thing.

If you just tell Claude to analyze a video, it won't look at every frame. It grabs a few here and there, but a normal video runs at 30 frames per second. And you've probably seen this style all over your feed. Most of those look trash. The reason is the tiny stuff. Micro animations, a little camera move, a

little shading, a little light. That's what makes it feel real. And you only catch that at 30 frames per second. Every single frame, every camera move, every little change in the light. So that's the main thing I told Claude. Watch all of them at 30 frames per second. and check everything. The lighting, the contrast, the shadows, the

movement, the effects, the cuts, everything, 20 shorts, about 18 minutes of video, over 32,000 frames, and it came back with a rule book. So, what's the actual workflow behind these shorts? It comes down to three layers. How the script is engineered, how the visuals are constructed, and how Claude measured all of it. First, the script. To decode
