A Reddit user showcases using Opus 5.5 and OpenRouter API to autonomously create a whimsical hand-drawn video on the purpose of life, spending about $20 on AI services.
There was an earlier video today posted in this very sub where a Twitter user has done something similar: https://www.reddit.com/r/singularity/comments/1wnw1dl/by_opus_55/ I thought that looked pretty good so I wanted to check it out myself. I think it came out well beyond my expectations and quite a bit better than the OG post. It's not perfect, but this is a true one shot, single prompt and then it took about hour and twenty minutes. About $20 of Opus 5 spend or only about 10% of my 5h quota on Max 5 sub. $3.21 of OpenRouter spend (mostly NanoBanana 2, and then voice, then a few pennies for other services. Total 8 different OpenRouter APIs. Some things need to be fixed, but I wanted to post true one shot result. Full prompt: Create a pure javascript animation. 30s-60s whimsical hand drawn collage style with appropriate audio on the topic what is the purpose of life ? Entire video should be as high of a production value as possible. Please spend your time on this, it's very important. Use high quality text-to-speech model for generation. You can find open router API key in .env file You can use any tools you can find access to and resources on the internet. You create the script, the assets, the animation, concept, everything. I have to go away from my computer so please work autonomously until done. Quality is paramount. Production value should be on professional level. One more thing: max OpenRouter spend is $10
