I built a mascot animation pipeline 100% with Claude

👋 Hey Indie Hackers!

Built ForageCast — a CLI pipeline that turns static mascots into lip-synced music videos.

The stack:

- Blender + Python automation

- LibROSA (beats) + Rhubarb (phonemes)

- Offline, reproducible, 3-12 mins per clip

100% built with Claude.

Why? Animation is expensive and slow. AI outputs are unpredictable. The real problem isn't AI capability — it's clarity of intent.

Architecture-first. Documented. Open source.
