Project Title: The Pilgrim's Canvas — A Documentary Storyboard Agent
Description:
Ten years ago I walked the Camino de Santiago alone and filmed every step of it. I'm now making a documentary about watching that footage back for the first time.
For this challenge I connected a Claude Code agent to Paper via MCP and asked it to build a production-ready storyboard canvas directly from my documentary shot list — no manual design, no drag and drop.
The agent read seven scenes, chose a cinematic type system (Playfair Display, EB Garamond, Inter), assigned mood colours to each scene that track the emotional arc of the journey, and built each 1920×1080 artboard one by one — confirming each with a screenshot before moving to the next.
The result is a living storyboard canvas a filmmaker can actually use in pre-production. The mood arc runs from cold indigo at the start of the Camino, through warm amber across the meseta, to pale cathedral light at Santiago, and finally deep ocean blue for the present-day reflection.
Total build time: 3 minutes 25 seconds.
Tools used: Claude Code + Paper MCP
