View on XWord Is Bond. The Merchant of Venice, retold as an anime music video. Animation coded with Claude Opus 5.5, music made with Suno. Making this meant turning Shakespeare's bargains, disguises and courtroom showdown into a music video, with code driving the animation and sung lyrics burned into the finished film. My approximate, user-reported production tally: about 23 hours, 118 agent transcripts and 5.36 billion aggregate tokens, roughly 99% cached context, about 62 million cache writes and 3.4 million output tokens. Those are reported aggregate processing figures, not unique generated words or actual spending. Listen to the album: Animation engine based on ClaudeAnimationBase by John Heibel (MIT): AI-generated music and code animation. A Shakespeare adaptation for a general adult audience.
