VMAs Storm II stage recreated in pure code

I gave Claude Sonnet 5.5 a YouTube link and one line: "implement this in pure code." It recreated the VMAs "Storm II" stage performance. What it did on its own: · Opened the video, pulled frames at timestamps, and worked out the scenes (a red-brick school, hundreds of boys in dark blazers, a lead singer with a blue flower mic) · Got the first version wrong. When I said "make it faithful," it rewrote the whole timeline against the reference frames · Rendered 1,800 frames, then muxed the mp4 with ffmpeg The result is a single HTML file with zero image, video or audio assets. The visuals are drawn on a canvas and the music is synthesized with WebAudio. 75 seconds, 1280×720, 24fps. I didn't write a line of code myself.

Introducing Claude Sonnet 5.5, the second model in the Claude 5.5 family. It’s a clear upgrade over Sonnet 5, runs more than 30% faster, and costs up to 30% less for most work. https://t.co/UvXD8mDTF1
