Make a Short Film With Claude in 51 Styles (No Video Model)
A free, open-source Claude Code skill that directs, draws, scores and mixes a whole short film in code, in any of 51 styles from watercolor to 16-bit pixel art. How to install it, what to ask, and the catches
lemo-opuscar is a Claude Code skill that turns Claude into a small film studio. You pick one of 51 styles and bring your own story; Claude writes the shots, draws every frame in code (canvas and WebGL pages rendered frame by frame), scores original music from free sample libraries, adds a text-to-speech narrator and mixes the sound. There is no video model and no stock footage, and every style ships with a short film made exactly this way.
What you get
- 51 styles in families: Evidence Films (LiDAR survey, satellite briefing, microscope), hand-drawn and painting (watercolor, ink wash, crayon book), East Asian traditions (ukiyo-e, shadow puppetry, red paper-cut), print, graphic and type, cartoon and anime, games (16-bit pixel RPG, HD-2D), cinema eras (1920s silent film) and materials (brick toy, paper pop-up, tilt-shift).
- A director's guide (story, sound, rhythm, camera), a technique guide (rendering, voice, music, mixing) and one STYLE.md per style, which the agent reads before it starts.
- Make a style your own: change a style, name it, and get a 15-30 second test film. Your styles live outside the library.
- OPUSCAR 98: a 6.5-minute film through all 98 Best Picture winners, made the same way, with every style prompt open.
