What is it?

This project is a workflow for producing a recurring AI-animated series. You design a few original characters once, generate their character sheets, then write each episode from a single theme sentence. The workflow covers the script, a black-and-white storyboard grid, and the final video prompt, all made with Jimeng (即梦) image generation and Seedance 2.5 video generation.

The repo works as a Claude Skill: after installing it into Claude Code, you describe an episode in plain language and Claude drafts the shot list and prompts. Python scripts assemble prompts so that reference-image numbers, the storyboard grid size (6 panels for 15 seconds, 9 for 30 seconds) and timings line up automatically. Other scripts rebuild a single storyboard panel, sample frames from a generated clip for review, and concatenate episodes.

The repository includes a complete example, a 30-second episode rendered at 480p, along with its character sheets, storyboard, prompt files and episode JSON.

Key features

  • 01Installs as a Claude Skill that drafts episode scripts and prompts from a one-line idea
  • 02Auto-assembles video prompts so reference numbers and storyboard grid size match the episode length
  • 03Supports 15-second, 30-second and 1-minute episode lengths
  • 04Scripts re-render a single storyboard panel or patch selected shots
  • 05Samples frames from generated clips and concatenates episodes into a season file

Use cases

  • Producing a short recurring animated series with the same original characters
  • Testing a comedy episode concept quickly before committing to full production
  • Learning a storyboard-first workflow for AI video generation
  • Batch-generating consistent episodes from a fixed character set

Quick start

  1. 1

    Clone the repo into your Claude skills folder

    git clone https://github.com/10291124jcjc-dotcom/ai-anime-series.git ~/.claude/skills/ai-anime-series
  2. 2

    Install the Python dependency for the scripts (Python 3.9+ and ffmpeg also required)

    pip install pillow
  3. 3

    Check your environment and create an episode folder from the template

    python scripts/setup_check.py my-series ep01

Things to know

  • Video generation requires a Jimeng (即梦) membership and the Seedance 2.5 model, which is a paid, China-focused service.
  • Code is MIT licensed, but the other content is CC BY-NC 4.0, so commercial use of the outputs is restricted.
  • The workflow depends on manual steps on the Jimeng canvas, so it is not fully automated.
