From the creator’s post · danjr000 on Reddit
I gave Opus 5.5 the core idea: a short 2-3 minute film about addiction, relapse and recovery built around the thought that even if you miss the sunrise, the sun will still be there tomorrow. From there I let it develop the visual metaphor, storyboard the film, build the animation, handle the sound design and edit. After the first render, I gave it feedback on the audio design, pacing, relapse sequence and ending, and let it rework the final version. The whole thing was made programmatically with Python, Pillow, OpenCV, NumPy and FFmpeg rather than an AI video generator.
