This week I have one excellent AIGC film, and two very similar AI-generated content pipelines to highlight.

“Paperclip Heart” is the latest film by Tim Simmons of Theoretically Media. Wow.

Of course, Tim also posted another video all about his production pipeline. He implores you to:

“Don’t buy (or sub to) an AI film studio — build one! This is the future workflow of AI filmmaking: a complete production office that lives in one folder on your desktop, and you can download the whole thing free.”

The production office model uses an LLM, an MCP and martini.film to organize the project, cast it, storyboard it and generate shots. The filmmaker in Tim then edits the footage and mixes the sound and music traditionally.

Note that Tim gives you free access to his Claude skills files!

If all this seems a tad overwhelming, see Tao Prompts version of a very similar method: Master 95% of AI Video in 15 Minutes.

The main difference is that this method is more hands on and avoids MCP automation.

Note, both pipelines work best with a great idea — and script — first!

My take: this protocol is the state of the art for AI-generated content in June 2026: use Claude (with a Skill) to design the look of the film, the characters, prompts, locations and storyboards. Use these images to generate shots in Seedance. Edit as usual. I predict that as more and more folks discover this method, the quality of your ideas, script and editing will become much more important.
