How to Make Ricks Clips with Claude

Ask Claude to walk one story from a sentence to a storyboard. The phrase here describes a visual style: 2D cartoon characters in 3D scenes. It is not a show, and Short3D is not affiliated with one.

From a story to a storyboard

  1. Ask for one short story with a beginning, a turn, and an ending. Keep it to a single idea that a viewer can see.
  2. Ask for the beats in order. Each beat should change what the viewer sees or hears.
  3. Ask for each beat as a shot. Name who is in the frame, where they are, what the camera does, and the line that is spoken.
  4. Read the shot list back. Cut any shot that the picture cannot show.

Rendering it yourself

A separate open-source project, under the MIT license, is one way to render this kind of vertical cartoon on your own computer: mromidev/claude-animated-shorts. Short3D is not that project.
