🎬 movie-gen: Creating AI Films via Claude Code

Developer dawndrain has introduced movie-gen — an automated pipeline for creating short AI films (5–12 minutes). The system uses Claude Code to manage various tools: Seedance 2.0, Nano Banana Pro, Sonilo, ElevenLabs, and Gemini.

🌍 It demonstrates the transition toward managed multimodal pipelines, where the LLM acts as the "director."

👤 It allows for a shift from prompt engineering to iterative management of a toolchain.
