Have Claude Code make a product explainer video

One prompt, an OpenRouter key capped at $10 and ~2 hours unattended: script, art, voice, music, a JS canvas animation rendered to MP4. ~$4.

Prompt for your agent

Goal: Get a usable 30–60 s explainer for my product without a video team.
Setup: agents used in source: Claude; tools/MCPs stated: OpenRouter, text-to-speech.
Steps:
1. Put an OpenRouter key with a spending cap in the project’s .env.
2. Prompt Claude Code: create a pure JavaScript animation, 30–60 s, whimsical hand-drawn collage style with audio, as high production value as possible; read the FAQ first; use a high-quality TTS model.
3. Walk away; it writes the script, generates art, voice, music and effects, syncs beats to words and renders to MP4.
4. Have another model review the drafts; ask for other language versions afterwards.
Rules: ask me before anything irreversible (sending, posting, paying, deleting); don’t invent data, results or tools I haven’t given you; tell me what you couldn’t verify.
