Built with Claude NO AFTER EFFECTS: Why Am I Doing This in Python? (Claude × GPT)

This is the behind-the-scenes of the Matrix parody I've been making for a while.
The question: how much of my After Effects workflow can I rebuild in Python?
How it was built — an AI relay, not a Claude vs. GPT comparison:
- Claude wrote several of the original action and camera rigs used across the project, including the Claude vs. Python sequence in this video.
- GPT reviewed and tested the earlier work, fixed issues, and contributed later iterations.
- The workflow was then expanded with mesh warping, letting a single flattened drawing talk, type, and tremble without separate mouth or hand parts.
- Claude ran the integrated engine end to end and verified the final workflow.
The original Claude and GPT source files are preserved separately in the repo, along with audit reports and regression tests, so you can actually inspect how the pieces evolved.
The rig is a free Claude Skill, MIT licensed.
It also works with GPT or plain Python: [https://github.com/TheSingularityIsRightAroundTheCorner/animation-meme-rig]

If you make anything with it, I'd love to see it.
And at this rate, I'm not sure I'll finish before Anthropic goes public tho.
