What is Claude Animation Base?
This is a small starter kit with code, instructions and assets for animating a character in p5.js and p5.brush with Claude Opus 5.5. It's based on the code from the music video I'm Upping My P(doom) and an analysis of what the model did and didn't do well. I highly recommend playing around with your prompting: make it give you the storyboard before coding, give it very broad instructions, try being very specific, ask for subagents, and try a bunch of other fun ways of testing the model's capabilities.
