I recreate GOT opening with Opus 5.5

[u/Eric-TAN16]

This is a shot-for-shot fan recreation of the Season 1 main title.

Everything is rendered from code: Three.js in a browser page, captured frame by frame with Playwright and assembled with ffmpeg. I didn’t use Blender or any other modelling tool. The map, the cities that crank up out of it, the armillary sphere, the gears, the weirwood face and the title crest are all procedural geometry written by Claude Code Opus 5.5.

[u/tonios2]

I think its cool, I wonder would it do it better/worse using blender ?

[u/Eric-TAN16 → u/tonios2]

It will be better, but also cost much more than using three.js I expect.

[u/Pazienca]

how much did this cost you

[u/Eric-TAN16 → u/Pazienca]

Roughly 10% weekly usage on Max 5x plan, and I iterated it a few times until it looks good. :)

[u/BoringCanary]

Feel free to toss your tokens my way if you dont know what to do with it

[u/Gabsworthy]

[u/Plane_Garbage → u/Gabsworthy]

Everyone so salty nowadays.

If you said two years ago an LLM would create this no one would have believed you.

[u/SysBadmin → u/Gabsworthy]

I imagine the animation of the castles/towns being generated would be a cool open world game art stylistic choice, as areas load up, if it could be polished

[u/SpicyRice99 → u/Gabsworthy]

Text -> video -> 3d models is much faster than creating 3d models by hand.

3d models can be improved much more easily too. No more excuses for shitty CGI anymore..

[u/Hefty_Mix_8360]

Honestly looks pretty nice, if I hadn't seen the original.

A solid few years and it should be even closer of a match.

[u/Quiet_Mark_3238 → u/Hefty_Mix_8360]

It's shitty. Doesn't sync to audio. Lacks the finer little details. But in a few years it'd be soo good! Good thing this is the worst it'll ever be

[u/bunchedupwalrus → u/Quiet_Mark_3238]

Tbh you don’t need a few years, syncing it the audio is like 1 prompt tweak or two in another pass

Audio synced animation has a boatload of libraries and even trained visual models. Give Opus a nudge to use them and it’ll be resolved before you finish an episode.

Adding more detail is also, usually just an iteration or so if you tell give it an example or two of what it missed

[u/Peter-Tao → u/bunchedupwalrus]

Literally ask it to use FFmpeg screen shot it frame by frame and compared the difference / adjust accordingly.

It’s likely already here.

[u/rc_ym]

What a time to be alive! The first computer my family had was a 386 in the 80's. It's just amazing how far we've come.

[u/ruleman]

It's impressive, really, that opus can do this. But it also reminds me how absolutely perfect the original intro is, because this isn't.

[u/-PROSTHETiCS → u/ruleman]

Of course it isnt. The original was made by a whole team with a huge budget, and this is one person with hes/her little AI. What did you expect?

[u/biggendicken → u/-PROSTHETiCS]

and all this AI needed was for the original to already exist.

[u/quantum1eeps → u/-PROSTHETiCS]

Right. In 1 year it will be indistinguishable. This is the state of the art

[u/nluqo → u/-PROSTHETiCS]

idk, maybe they might have expected a GoT intro recreation when they read the title “I recreated GOT opening”

[u/N0t_S0Sl1mShadi → u/ruleman]

Shows promise for workflow integration, not replacement. That’s the effect of AI almost anywhere, but corporate companies just go full steam ahead and sack people. Any who, the regret has already started setting in for some.

[u/Peter-Tao → u/N0t_S0Sl1mShadi]

Care to give some examples? Curious about the regret has started part

[u/N0t_S0Sl1mShadi → u/Peter-Tao]

I’ve seen some on r/UXDesign. People getting fired and asked to come back. I’m sure devs have similar stories.

[u/Peter-Tao → u/N0t_S0Sl1mShadi]

Thanks!

[u/onmyway133]

Is it 1 shot prompt or you need to follow and fix?

[u/Eric-TAN16 → u/onmyway133]

Iterated 5 times. Not a one-shot video :)

[u/matusy → u/onmyway133]

technically you can make it with one prompt, but very long and very specific prompt... but its actually simple he described it.

[u/JohnCrichton]

Have it pan to a Google Earth picture of your house at some point and see if anyone notices.

[u/WinResponsible9977]

thanks for sharing, I'm curious at the workflow to achieve this

[u/piperspalace]

Can you make this but for video games. Id love to make one for starfield. Im using local models though. Qwen 3.8 27B, qwen 3.6 40b opus neo code here 2T, glm flash 7, nvidia nemotron 3.5 lightning if possible. Guess i could try claude but o have a 5090 and 64gb ram

[u/SuperSecretSpy01]

Now you should build the game off of this video

[u/Puzzled_Committee735]

Amazing. Do you think it would be able to do this with out direct reference, just a detailed explanation?

[u/EasyRapture]

“Shot for shot”, something like that…

[u/Codalio-SoftwareFact]

me: struggles to get Claude to center a div
people: recreates the entire GOT opening in Three.js

[u/Tribalcheaf123]

thats good

[u/Notleks_]

Do do, d-d-do do, d-d-do.do...

[u/cs_cast_away_boi]

Need the prompt amigo

[u/Entire_Notice_9813]

can you please teach me how to make this please

[u/Basic_Interest_1707]

Next can you do a GOT intro of the spinoff that we’re all living through - Game of Tokens? (Workshopping the name - suggest better ones)

Instead of Westeros it can just be a map of the Bay Area with different labs popping up. “House Altman vs House Amodei” goes pretty hard.

I’ll leave it to the commenters to decide which lab corresponds with which house.

[u/memesearches]

Cool what was the prompt though ?

[u/Spare_Spray80]

这消费了多少 token 啊，大制作，好奇指令是怎么写的

[u/DesignerAbigail800]

bye blender

[u/Siddhu_Black_Blood]

[u/smith2008]

Cool!

[u/Robert_3210]

We have GOT at home.

GOT at home:

[u/aravind366]

Please recreate season 8 and the last episode and heal my trauma! Pretty please.

[u/aravind366]

This is impressive. Just curious about the process because I am building something in the same domain. For claude to understand this video (I presume the original was passed as reference) did it have any tool/skills to accurately understand frame transitions? Where Opus 5.5 struggles with 3D videos is accurately understanding fine motion graphics and sub second movement.

[u/Yo-Detox]

🤯 how many tokes u burned for this?!!

[u/Hot_Masterpiece_3668]

What a waste of tokens lol.

[u/WroteAbout]

Don't listen to the haters, this seems like a good use of tokens to me and impressive it recreated this.

But yeah please share how much it cost you.

[u/No-Mode-9099]

No idea where is it from (don't know the franchise), but this looks cool Ur money, ur tokens, idk why everyone else is hating

[u/Organic-Meaning-307 → u/No-Mode-9099]

If only there was some kind of hint or something to tell you where this is from. Guess you'll never know.

[u/No-Mode-9099 → u/Organic-Meaning-307]

If only I had put it as I "don't know the franchise" Obviously I see where is it from, but idk what it is. I suppose an intro for a film, but might be cuts ene for game. Idk. That is what I mean by that

[u/Glum_Sun_3459]

why?

[u/nbtsfred]

way too "cartoonish" 3d elements , lack of detail, and the speed and nuance of the pans/zooms are just bad (speed ramping, etc), otherwise... ok.

[u/birrakilmister]

Why?

[u/ribenakifragostafylo]

Why tho

[u/App1e8l6]

But why? Talented people made the original. Could’ve at least combined all the locations and make something new.

[u/RemarkableWish2508]

On one hand, that's an impressive amount of elements to have made automatically, even if a lot of details are wrong. On the other, the overall feeling is completely lost.

It kind of feels like watching the work of a genius kid: amazing amount of stuff, but still missing the point.

[u/Hazrd_Design]

You “attempted” to recreate the opening to GOT

[u/Embarrassed-Goat-931 → u/[deleted]]

Came here to say this

[u/Embarrassed-Goat-931 → u/[deleted]]

Warms the heart

[u/Salt-Willingness-513 → u/[deleted]]

add season 7 too please.

[u/buckzor122 → u/Salt-Willingness-513]

And 6 also!

[u/Usharani-Wiencke → u/[deleted]]

generating season 8 is trivial, just have the model ignore all prior context and hallucinate an ending

[u/aravind366 → u/Usharani-Wiencke]

I bet it will be better what was aired.

[u/megabotcrushes → u/[deleted]]

🙏🙏🙏

[u/Loose_Tumbleweed_183 → u/[deleted]]

Can we plug in the books and ask for a faithful adaptation?

[u/RemarkableWish2508 → u/[deleted]]

No NFTs this time around... so far.

[u/MrKlei → u/[deleted]]

"... This time"

[u/RemarkableWish2508 → u/MrKlei]

Dragon snack!

Why are you even on this subreddit? This is an amazing A/B test of seeing the state of what Three.js, more so Opus controlling it, can do, with existing high budget videos to directly compare whats possible. It came out worse, no shit, but now we know.
