I created this using only claude code

Can Higgsfield or RunWay do this? I generated this using Three.js + Remotion and Elevenlabs for sound effect via Claude Code Opus 5.5

the demo reel i finished just before my laptop fried

Or: Help on directions for making a new demo reel
Oorrr: Take a sip of water every time you read "but" in my post challenge

Yes, my laptop fried. Little pieces burned inside while I was in the middle of a project for a client. It was sporting 8 (eight!) gigabytes of precious RAM, with a monster of an iGPU - Radeon 660M.

It was an Asus ExpertBook B series. lol

But I was thankfully able to finish this showreel before(?) the laptop died on me. I wasn't able to continue work though.

But hey! I finally got a better rig after half a year! Excited rn, but also currently in the gutter because I feel lost. How would you start working on a demo reel after half a year of nothing? Do I wait for client projects till I can make one? Or do I just make personal projects for it? Any tips or advice? Feedbacks in my old showreel would be greatly appreciated ^^ Thank you in advance!

Would you use a lightweight standalone alternative to GEOlayers 3 for 2D maps?

Hey everyone,

I've been working on an idea for a while and wanted to get some honest feedback from people who actually make animated maps.

I find GEOlayers 3 a bit heavy and expensive for what I sometimes need. If I'm just trying to make a clean 2D map animation, the workflow can feel more complicated than it needs to be.

I originally considered making an After Effects extension, but working with lots of vector layers directly in AE can get pretty sluggish. So I'm considering a standalone desktop app instead.

The idea is pretty simple: create 2D vector map animations and export them as high-resolution videos with transparency, ready to import into After Effects, Premiere, or DaVinci Resolve.

I've already built a rendering engine using Python and Rust with GPU compute shaders, so the main thing left is building a usable interface and turning it into an actual product.

Before I spend more time on it, I'd really like to know:

  1. Would something like this actually be useful to you? Would you be comfortable using a separate app for map animations, or is working directly inside After Effects too important to give up?
  2. What would you realistically pay for it? Would you prefer a one-time purchase, or would a subscription make more sense?

I'm a university student, so I don't have unlimited time to work on this. I'd rather find out whether there's genuine interest before committing to the whole thing.

Any honest feedback is welcome, including reasons why you wouldn't use it. Thanks!

Effet Parallaxe

Premier vrai projet [parallaxe] : j’ai pris une image de Baki, je l’ai découpée en plans, et maintenant elle bouge
Photoshop + After Effects, un peu de Marionnette, et beaucoup de patience.
Dites-moi ce que vous en pensez

From a light strip to a floating waveform — an 8-second loop in Cinema 4D

It all started with a static reference of a music controller. As the project developed, a simple light strip turned into a glowing 3D waveform that lifts off the surface.

Made in Cinema 4D, rendered with Redshift. AI helped edit the scene through MCP. I set the visual direction and reviewed each iteration, while AI helped build and refine the geometry, materials, and animation.

There was some backtracking along the way. One attempt to bring the housing closer to the reference distorted the geometry, so I had to revert to an earlier version. After that, it was all about the details: toning down the secondary icons, softening the highlight on PLAY, and smoothing out the waveform’s rise and fall.

The waveform itself is an animated spline with a Sweep, so its shape and motion can be adjusted directly in the scene.

What do you think?
