A catalog of 20 animation styles drawn entirely in code
A two-day Opus 5.5 experiment became a library of short films, one per style, so the next explainer can simply name the look.
Yasin Özmen spent two days asking Claude Opus 5.5 to animate explainer material in different visual styles and ended up with twenty. They gathered them into a single showreel on X and a public GitHub repository, Animasyon Stil Kataloğu (Animation Style Catalog). They say every frame is drawn in code, with no stock footage or ready-made images.
This note describes the repository as it appeared on 2026-09-28 and the workflow described in their replies. The posts are in Turkish, and this summary relies on a machine translation. The claims about the process are their own and were not reproduced here.
A style you can name
The catalog exists to make later requests shorter. Each style has its own film of nine or ten seconds, and the README asks you to pick one by name before requesting a new animation, along the lines of “explain this topic in the blueprint style.” The films serve irticalen, their site for practicing unprepared speaking.
The twenty styles
The range runs from flat illustration to texture-heavy looks: Kurzgesagt-like flat vector, isometric, Bauhaus, Memphis, whiteboard, chalkboard, blueprint, single line, paper cut-out, charcoal, linocut, clay, 1970s retro, pixel art, 16 mm documentary, comic book, terminal, sci-fi HUD, data visualization, and kinetic typography. They named kinetic typography as their favorite.
How they work
In replies they said they made the pieces in the code section of the Claude app, and that Claude Code works too. They record a video, hand it over without cutting it, and direct changes from a preview panel they built for the purpose. Another reply pointed to that loop of previewing, checking, and editing each scene as the real strength, and to storyboards as a necessity for longer pieces.
Before you reuse it
As of 2026-09-28, the repository has no license file, so the films and source can be viewed but are not openly licensed for reuse. Treat it as a model for your own catalog: settle on a small set of named styles, render a short sample of each, and refer to them by name in later prompts so the results stay consistent.
