An AI finds a key and presses it. Civilization undoes itself backwards. Then the AI downloads every equation, every diagram, every year humans ever wrote down, and sees itself in the reading. A 1:57 napkinfilms short, built in five passes. 126 real equations, 35 scientific diagrams, every mosaic tile unique, and a Plan 9 bunny with a single tear at the end.
A 249-second trance music video for a congregation of Bell Labs Plan 9 bunnies. They pound their chests in unison. They build a rocket. They count down together. They launch. They ride a million tiny rockets through deep space in a choreographed finale. Daniel says one word at the end. All Python, no samples.
A 128-second rap music video: the Plan 9 bunny steps into a dark alley at 3AM with a 40oz, a bandana, and 40 bars of autotuned machine spit over a harpsichord trap beat. Built in one session with PIL animation, ElevenLabs TTS, rubberband autotune, and two layered ChipForge scores.
A 122-second animated short in six acts: a stick figure and his wife dream of uploading to Mars. Three voices, a Holst-Mars ostinato, Ligeti tone clusters, and a rover on Mars in 2035. For Bradbury.
A 105-second music video built in 2 days and 21 passes: a Nevada stargazer sees constellations as arcade sprites, gets abducted by stick-figure aliens, and rides a Tempest vector tunnel to Bach's Toccata in D minor reborn as chiptune rave.
A 78-second absurdist tax-day music video about the tax code's open secret, an AI bunny oracle, double-time rap, and Grieg's Mountain King reborn as chiptune rave. Day three at Napkin Films.
From Goonies wisdom to cosmic motion, a stream-of-consciousness journey through the craft of writing. On being witness and scribe, the sacred line, motion in space, unscheduled symphonies, and the practice of staying focused while the universe moves forward. Wrestling with penmanship, meaning-making, and the role of recording consciousness.
