Could you build this?

Partial The story-to-film pipeline (script, image generation, TTS, ffmpeg assembly, dashboard) is vibe-codeable from existing APIs, but producing consistent, expressive painted character animation without a video API is a hard creative-technical problem.

What it would actually take: Orchestrate LLM scripting, an image model for painted scenes, TTS or voice cloning, and ffmpeg for compositing, with an SVG route for simpler motion. The hard part is character consistency and believable motion from 2D art, which needs rigging, keyframing, or custom animation tooling plus a skilled animator to direct the look. Expect a motion/animation specialist and iterative visual tuning.
