Description
I've been working on this Claude Code pipeline for making 10-minute movies, gluing together Seedance (videogen), Nano Banana (image gen), and ElevenLabs (voice gen), and using Claude as the director. My repo contributes a markdown playbook and a worked example which should make it easier for other people to make their own short movies. A first-pass movie takes around 2.5 hours of wall clock time and costs around $200, and iterating is easy thanks to intermediate artifacts like storyboards and voice samples.

Yes The project is a scripted pipeline/playbook that orchestrates external generation APIs (Seedance, Nano Banana, ElevenLabs, Claude) into video sequences, which is ideal for vibe coding.
