Shared November 3 as Touch Glass, the same 3:19.7 film is titled AERO in its official production notebook. It is the ninth Claudia music video and a sequel to BLISS, not a second entry for the X caption. anabology is credited with direction, Claude in Claude Code with production, and Claudia is the synthetic performer.
Why this video matters
A recreated Windows Vista desktop becomes the stage: Messenger, permission prompts, gadgets and media windows carry both lyrics and action. Claudia’s effort to leave the screen turns interface nostalgia into a character situation. The familiar request to allow an action also gives the film a musical pause, release and visual consequence.
A disclosed division of labour
The notebook attributes song and look decisions, take selection, a revised ending and repeated notes to anabology. Claude is described as handling planning, prompting, production coordination and assembly. The maker’s X clarification says the first half required substantial iteration. The detailed record dates work October 27–November 3, while the release caption says “48 hrs later”; neither establishes an audited labour total or a one-prompt production.
Exact tools and practical techniques
The work-specific record names Midjourney v8.2 for worlds and plates, GPT Image 2.5 for character insertion and first frames, and Seedance 2.5 on Higgsfield’s API and Replicate for moving performances and other shots. Midjourney’s video model supplies loops; Suno supplies the song, without an exact Suno version established here.
A JavaScript/canvas desktop, with WebGL elements, is rendered in headless Chromium. Blender Cycles renders the curved-screen/coastal passages; TripoSG supplies meshes; ffmpeg assembles the result. Vocal-stem guidance and phrase-level alignment address lip sync. Matching still frames at rest makes transitions between the flat desktop and its 3D version coherent. 39 Vista/Messenger interface sounds are reported as retuned into the song’s key across 60 cues.
Counts and cost scope
The maker reports 95 Seedance takes, 43 used, and 163 GPT Image calls. Listed API generation totals are $337.23: $327.76 for Seedance and $9.47 for GPT Image, including three estimated image costs. Midjourney and Suno per-job charges, Claude tokens, render infrastructure and human labour are not included. This is a scoped list-price account, not the film’s total budget. Agent roles are listed, but launch count and total human crew are not established.
