Nic — Demo video

Loopa is a three-minute animated short about a maker whose single pencil line comes alive. He scans her, prints her, posts her. The internet loves her, remixes her into a thousand versions, and pays him to erase the one line that made her his. At the film's quietest moment, his original line reignites inside every copy, and instead of fighting the storm, he conducts it. Made in 72 hours, solo. Every video, image, song, and voice was generated on fal: Veo 3.1 (fast and full 1080p, with model-generated ambience on the nature-doc parody) and Seedance 1 Pro for the film's 48-cut body, nano-banana-2 for every keyframe with the character locked by reference conditioning, xAI Grok Imagine for the meme-wave, MiniMax for the original continuous score, and ElevenLabs for the voices. Cut on a beat-grid (librosa), composited locally (datamosh, feed plates, the spiral credits), graded in one pass, and conducted with Claude Code. A few early sketch cameos in the margins came from disclosed personal Google credits. Stay past the credits. The franchise machine has plans for her.
