AI vs Human: Remaking a Claude-Made Video by Hand A client sent me a 20-second video made with Claude and one line: “Remake this by hand.”
Same brief. Same story. Here’s what changed: → 20s → 30s, 30 fps → 60 fps → No sound → music and sound design on every beat → Placeholder cards → real product moments: Google search, Maps, a ChatGPT answer, a booking, a live dashboard
It started with a 34-frame storyboard in Figma, then 17 shots in After Effects.
AI made a decent draft. It took a human to make it a video. Scroll through to see the side-by-side, the storyboard and the full build.
