How Fable 5.2 makes video
Video generation with Fable 5.2 means asking it for a scene or a short film and letting it build the whole thing as a program: the models, the camera, the lighting, often the music. Some makers render it to an MP4; others share the scene as a page you can open and move around in.
- 0kncn's 90-second anime was built shot by shot in Blender from Python, with a soundtrack written in numpy.
- Marcel's golden ship is pure Three.js, with no Blender and no outside models: about 38 minutes and $17 on medium effort.
- Peter Gostev's Istanbul, the most liked of all, ran on Fable 5.2 Max for about $46.
- Dante's UFO film came from one sentence and used three.js and Remotion, with no textures or stock audio.
How to make one in Claude Code
Start Claude Code on Fable 5.2
Fable 5.2 needs a Pro plan or higher, or API access. For a scene you can share as a page, an empty folder is enough; for Blender, have Blender installed so Fable can drive it from Python.
mkdir my-film && cd my-film claude --model claude-fable-5-2Describe the scene, or the film shot by shot
One sentence works ("make me a 30 second video of a UFO visiting Area 51 and greeting humans, ultra detailed, cinematic lighting"); long, precise briefs like the Paris 1888 prompt below give you more control.
Ask it to render, or to keep it live
Ask for an MP4 at a set resolution and frame rate, or for a single HTML page you can open in a browser and share.

A 90-second anime short: a steam locomotive becomes a robot
0kncn (@0kncn) · 409 likes · 69.5K views
Hand-drawn-looking 2D anime from one prompt: Fable built every shot in Blender from Python, rendered it and inked each frame in a second pass, then wrote the score note by note with numpy.
Show the prompt (as the maker shared it)
Create a 2D anime short. It must look completely like real Japanese anime, as if it were taken directly from a finished theatrical anime film. This is traditional-looking, hand-drawn 2D anime, not a 3D animation, a moving illustration, or a stylized web graphic. Build everything in Blender from Python, render it in Eevee, then ink and paint every frame in a second pass. Deliver one 1920x1080, 24 fps MP4 with a synthesized soundtrack. Use any tools, libraries, references, guides, literally anything, as long as the final result looks 100% like hand-drawn 2D anime. Use theatrical anime as the art style reference for the design, line work, painted backgrounds, color and atmosphere. The film is 90 seconds long (2160 frames), in 42 shots. Its hero is a steam locomotive that transforms into a robot. No people appear in the film. HERO No. 9, a 1940s 2-8-2 freight locomotive with a four-axle tender, 23 m long, asleep for decades in a mountain engine shed: matte black boiler with rust runs, faded red wheel centres and buffer beam, brass number plate "9", one large headlamp, two amber marker lamps, moss on the running boards, ivy through the cab windows, and a stork's nest on the cab roof. As a robot it stands 21 m tall with its shoulders at 17 m. It is an original design, not a character from any existing series. It moves on twos, slow and heavy. Its wheels never slip and its feet never slide. TRANSFORM One transformation, at full speed, 120 frames, in five stages of 24 frames. Every part is rigid: nothing stretches, nothing vanishes, nothing appears. Each part travels on a hinge or a slide you can see. 1. Legs: the tender uncouples, splits lengthwise and swings down; its two bogies lock as feet, the coal stays in bunkers on the calves. 2. Hips: the cab drops and widens into the pelvis; the trailing truck folds onto the lower back. 3. Torso: the boiler tilts upright, firebox at the waist, smokebox at the top; the chimney and steam dome end on the upper back and keep venting. 4. Arms: the running boards swing out with the cylinders as shoulders, the piston and connecting rods as forearms, and hands with three fingers and a thumb unfolding from the valve gear; the front driving wheels ride up as shoulder discs, the rear ones fold to hips and knees. 5. Head: the smokebox door hinges forward as the chest plate with the headlamp at its centre; a riveted helmet rises from the smokebox with one dark visor slit and the two marker lamps as amber eyes; the cowcatcher folds up as a collar. The cab roof panel rides up to the right shoulder and carries the stork's nest, never tilted more than 10 degrees. Stages 1-3 happen on the rails, with the first strides landing on the ballast either side of the track. Stages 4-5 happen in the air. WORLD A single-track mountain railway at real scale. At the top, an ore mine with a loading bunker and a rake of twelve four-wheel hopper wagons. The line descends through larch forest and a short rock tunnel to a viaduct: seven 18 m steel girder spans on stone piers, 126 m long, the deck 17 m above a turquoise meltwater river 3 m deep. Beyond it, a small station: a stone engine shed, a water tower, a semaphore signal with an alarm bell, a signal box, a siding ending in a sand drag. Snow peaks behind, a cliff face above the viaduct, telegraph poles along the whole line. STORY A clear spring morning in the valley. Meltwater loosens the cliff: a rockfall hits the middle pier of the viaduct, the pier collapses into the river and the two girders it carried sag into a V, held only by the rails. Up at the mine the shock snaps a coupling and the twelve loaded wagons start to roll downhill, unmanned. At the station the semaphore drops to danger and the bell rings. In the dark shed the firebox glows, the pressure needle climbs, the headlamp lights; the stork flies up. No. 9 bursts through the shed doors tearing ivy and rust, and charges up the grade with the wagons coming down the other side. On the approach it transforms at full speed, leaps from the abutment, lands crouched in the river, wades to the fallen pier, and lifts the sagging joint onto its shoulders and raised hands. The wagons hit the viaduct: it sinks 0.3 m as each one passes over and holds. The rake runs through the station into the sand drag and stops. No. 9 does not come back out. It locks its knees and stays as the new pier. The steam thins, the stork returns to its nest, the visor dims. LIGHT High-key anime light, never murky: a morning sun from the south-east, a saturated cobalt sky, white cumulus with lavender shadows, snow peaks with blue shadows, fresh green larch, a turquoise river with drawn white water. Light only changes with a cause you can see: rock dust dims the gorge for 3 seconds, steam whites out a frame, the firebox throws orange onto the shed walls. Cel light with hard shadows, gouache backgrounds, ink lines on every machine, rail and building, effects drawn on twos: steam as inked rolling shapes with a flat shadow tone, water as inked sheets with foam crowns, dust as drawn clouds, never particle mush. SOUND A synthesized orchestra on a 144 bpm grid: one beat is 10 frames, and every cut lands on a multiple of 5 frames. A hopeful theme on clarinet and horn, the collapse in E minor, a 12/8 chase with the exhaust chuff as percussion at four beats per wheel revolution, a heavy 3/4 for the hold with one low drum per wagon. 16 hits land exactly on the picture: the rockfall, the pier, the coupling, the signal arm, the shed doors, each transformation lock, the landing, the lift, the first and last wagon. The steam whistle is heard twice: once on waking, once on the hold. FORMAT Write the film as a Python story clock: one state per frame for every pose, camera, wheel angle, rod position, transformation part, wagon, effect and sound cue. CHECKS Before the final render a script tests every frame on the real meshes: no part of No. 9 goes through another part, in either form or at any frame of the transformation; the total volume of its parts is the same in both forms; every wheel on a rail turns exactly as far as it travels; planted feet do not move; No. 9 never goes through the track, the shed, the viaduct or the riverbed; the wagons stay on the rails and never touch each other except at the couplings; the camera never enters a mesh, the cliff or the water; nothing jumps between frames.

Build a single self-contained three.js HTML page that renders a 14-second animation (1280x720, 30fps, deterministic: expose window.renderAt(t) so every frame can be captured). Scene: a floating voxel diorama island - Paris, 1888, the Eiffel Tower under construction. Everything is already moving on frame 1. Island: - floating chunk with layered rock underside, the Seine curving across the front with stone quays and an arched bridge - Champ de Mars: dirt work yard, stacks of iron girders, wooden sheds, a steam engine with a smoking chimney - around it: rows of Haussmann buildings with cream walls, grey zinc roofs, chimneys, tiny trees along the boulevards The tower (the hero): - dark reddish-brown wrought iron lattice made of thin voxel beams with real X-bracing, not solid blocks - four curved legs and the first platform finished, the second level half built, the top section only a skeleton - wooden scaffolding towers under the legs, small creeper cranes on the structure lifting girders on chains - glowing orange rivet sparks where workers hammer, small puffs of steam Life (hundreds of tiny voxel people, ~3 voxels tall): - riveting teams on every level with hammers swinging, workers walking along beams - girders hoisted by cranes swinging slowly into place - horse-drawn carts carrying iron across the yard, crowds of onlookers in 1880s clothes with top hats and parasols - a riverboat with a smoking funnel moving along the Seine, carriages crossing the bridge, pigeons circling the tower Camera and look: - wide view of the whole island, slow orbit (~25 degrees) with a gentle push-in toward the tower - warm late-afternoon sun, soft shadows, ambient occlusion, light haze, rounded voxels, ACES tone mapping, soft bloom on sparks

FAQ
Can Claude Fable 5.2 generate video?
Not the way a video model does. It writes code that draws each frame, in Three.js, WebGL, Remotion or Blender, and renders it to an MP4 or runs it live in a browser. That's why the text, logos and fine details come out sharp.
What tools does it use?
Most often Three.js or WebGL in a single HTML file. Others used Remotion for film-style edits, Blender driven from Python, and Python or numpy for the music.
How long does it take and what does it cost?
From about 20 minutes and $7 (the Tokyo ramen stall) to 1.5 hours and 35M tokens (the pirate ship) or about $46 on Fable 5.2 Max (Istanbul).
Can I open these scenes myself?
Four have a live page linked on their card: the golden ship, the pirate ship, the black hole and the galaxy. The rest were shared as videos.
Fable 5.2 or Opus 5.5 for video?
Makers use both. In what people posted, Fable 5.2 was used most for 3D worlds and films, and Opus 5.5 for product launch films and motion graphics, which we collected in Opus 5.5 motion graphics.
