Give it a song. Get a music video.

It listens to every word and beat, then writes the code that draws each frame: cut paper, collage, ink and print.

Music videos

Every word on the beat

Original songs. Every frame drawn by code. Sound on.

    How a song becomes one: Drawlicious separates the voice, times every word, finds the beats and the sections, plans the scenes, has image plates made, and writes the code that cuts, tears, tones and moves them. Claude directs each one. Send a song. Music videos are in early access.

    Chapter two · Films and cards

    Little films, drawn from scratch

    Each one started as a single-line brief. Story, drawing code, voice, music and sound effects came out of the Drawlicious pipeline. Press play, with the sound on.

      From a sentence to a film in four steps: a brief, a short story with a turn, a storyboard of stills you comment on before anything renders, then the film, with voices, music, sound and captions.

      The code

      Edits are sentences

      One line becomes the code that draws it. A frame is a function of time, so any moment can be redrawn exactly: ask for a change in plain words and that line of code changes, and nothing else does. Try it:

      One scene, three ways to draw it

      A style decides how every line, fill, paper and letter is drawn, so the same film can be ink and pencil, chalk on a board, or a blueprint. Same code, every one of these.
