NO OFF SWITCH

A music video for the Suno song No Off Switch, about AI agent swarms that can't be shut down.

Watch it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/7KWI3f77TxM

The video is rendered with three.js from five of neoneye's vibe-coding-lab experiments (copies in assets/):

• The queen (3d-queen-clothing) is the singer. She moves her arms to the song while her gown changes through the eras.
• Shoggoths (3d-shoggoth) are the agent swarm and the chorus. Every one is a different genome.
• The Amiga torus and its shapes (3d-torus-shooter), sometimes dithered, sometimes in colour.
• The 3D game of life (3d-game-of-life): All d4, 3×3×3, Coral Drift 8-18/15-19/16, 32³.
• Birefringent crystals (3d-birefringent-crystal), with one and two crystals, in colour.

Most shots are dithered to black and white with a 4×4 ordered-dither (Bayer) matrix, so its 17 patterns show. The lyrics run along the bottom with the word being sung highlighted; the word timings come from faster-whisper aligned to the lyric sheet (video/src/lyrics.js).

Based on

This repository is a fork of JohnHeibel/PDoomVideo, the Claude Opus 5.5 music video for I'm Upping My P(doom). Its headless-Chrome render pipeline and the way the work was split into parallel subagents are what this video builds on. That video's code is still here (see The P(doom) video below).

What's here

Path	What it is
video/index.html	live player: node video/serve.mjs, then open http://localhost:8040/video/
video/src/timeline.js	the shot list
video/src/scenes/	one module per world; the contract is in video/SCENES.md
video/src/post.js	the ordered-dither and dissolve pass
video/thumbs.html	three YouTube thumbnail candidates
video/render.mjs	headless renders: sheets, stills, clips, frames, MP4, thumbnails
assets/	the song, the lyrics and the five experiments
prompts/	every prompt given to Claude while making the video, verbatim

Rendering

You need Node.js, Google Chrome and ffmpeg.

npm install
node video/render.mjs --frames=0:220.7 --workers=3          # PNG frames → out/frames (resumable)
node video/render.mjs --encode --out=out/no-off-switch.mp4  # frames + song → MP4
node video/render.mjs --thumbs=out/thumbs                   # thumbnails

The P(doom) video

The rest of this README is from JohnHeibel/PDoomVideo. Its song (assets/pdoom.mp3) and first generation (legacy/) were removed in this fork; get them from the original repository.

Source code for the Claude Opus 5.5 music video for I'm Upping My P(doom).

I've also made a new more reliable and general base for making Claude animations with Claude Opus 5.5.

Highly recommend checking it out!

Credits

• Inspired by: this post on X
• Song: as far as I could find, it comes from this YouTube video from 2024
• Lyrics from Osmarks showing the original udio generations and the interpretation of each lyric

How it was made

The video took two generations, both in Claude Code:

1. First generation (legacy/): Claude Opus 5.5 (Medium)
2. Second generation (everything else): Claude Opus 5.5

Everything in this repository was generated by the model. No scene ideas were specified. The only direction was to:

• use the Clawd character design
• give each lyric interesting visuals and transitions

ANIMATION_GUIDE.md was written by Opus to brief the subagents it ran in parallel.

STORYBOARD.md was also written by Opus after the first generation, after being instructed to use P5 brushstrokes, make each scene visually interesting, and make every scene transition into the next.

What's here

Path	What it is
src/ch/	The video's nine chapters, one file each
src/	Shared code: Clawd, the guest characters, props, lyrics and the timeline
studio.html	The page every frame is painted in, using p5.js and p5.brush
render.mjs	Renders frames in headless Chrome and encodes the MP4 with ffmpeg
STORYBOARD.md	Opus's shot-by-shot plan
ANIMATION_GUIDE.md	Opus's style and code guide for its subagents
legacy/	The first generation

Rendering

You need Node.js, Google Chrome and ffmpeg. The song is included at assets/pdoom.mp3.

npm install
node render.mjs --frames=0:156.6 --workers=4   # paint every frame into out/frames (resumable)
node render.mjs --encode --out=out/pdoom.mp4   # join the frames and the song into an MP4

If Chrome isn't installed at the default Windows path, add --chrome=<path to chrome>.
