Imaginary Friends: the full AI animation workflow, every prompt open.

What it is

An animated short film made entirely with AI, no camera, no studio and no animators. A tiny dragon in a call center, a monster guarding a mall and a rabbit in a toy store stockroom tell an interviewer that life is good, and then we see their real day.

How to connect Cadabra to Claude

In Claude open Settings or Customize, then Connectors. Click Add, then Add custom connector, name it Cadabra and paste https://mcp.livinginmovie.com/mcp. Sign in, click Allow, and from then on you ask for pictures, shots and music from the chat.

Consistent characters in AI video

Every character gets a hero picture with one simple shape, one special detail and its own colors, then a character sheet with every angle. Every shot gets two pictures: the sheet says who, the hero picture says where.

The acting prompt

Four questions before every shot: what does she want, why, what stops her, and what does she do. Then the 5-part video prompt: elements, style, camera and light, acting, audio.

Seedance 2.5, draft first

Nine shots, each one a 480p draft first. The drafts are the ones in the film, and a draft you love can go to 1080p with the same acting.

19 open prompts

The three hero pictures, the three character sheets, the nine shots, the girl's room, the two voice lines and the music, exactly as they ran, in one file to copy or download.
