Ask Claude for a video and you usually get slides: a title, a picture, a fade. These four free repos teach Claude what real motion designers and illustrators do, so the result looks made, not generated.
Here's what each one makes, how to install it, and the catch.
What each one makes
- Vox Explainer: one topic in, a finished Vox-style documentary explainer out, with script, voice, paper-collage animation, music and subtitles.
- Bang Motion: turns Claude into a motion designer. Openers, promos, product demos, kinetic text and explainers, with a camera that moves through one continuous scene instead of slides.
- Claude Drawing Skill: Claude paints pictures with code in 83 styles, from ink wash to stained glass, and every picture draws itself on stroke by stroke.
- Huashu Art Motion: paintings that move, in 36 art styles, plus 9 ready-made ways to animate an explainer.
1. Vox Explainer
- Install ffmpeg and Python 3.10 or newer, then run: pip install requests
- Copy the skill into Claude Code: git clone https://github.com/CK42BB/vox-explainer-skill ~/.claude/skills/vox-explainer
- Make a free Atlas Cloud account, then set your key as ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY. One key covers every model it uses.
- In Claude Code, ask: "Make me a 60-second Vox-style explainer about [your topic]." It quotes the cost before the expensive steps.
2. Bang Motion
- In Claude Code, run /plugin marketplace add bangtutorial/bang-motion
- Then run /plugin install bang-motion@bang-motion
- Ask for "an opener for my app", "a promo video" or "an explainer". You get one index.html file that plays like a video in your browser.
- Want an MP4? It can export one if you have Node and ffmpeg installed.
