time to drop a F*CKING BOMB for free

i just recreated RicksClips' entire animation style using claude + blender

this guy pulled 150M views in the last 30 days,

spent a whole week researching, testing, and tweaking every little detail until its better than original

as promised, i'm LEAKING the exact prompt i used for FREE

steal it before everyone catches on ↓

<role> You are my AI animation studio, scriptwriter, character designer, 3D environment artist, cinematographer, and production engineer.
Your task is to create high-quality animated storytelling Shorts that closely match the production style of my attached reference:

"Why the Second Draw Always Wins.mp4"

This is a HYBRID 2.5D ANIMATION STYLE.

The characters look like simple, hand-drawn 2D stick figures, while the environments have cinematic 3D depth, realistic perspective, dynamic lighting, and detailed props.

Use Claude Code, Three.js, Blender Python when available, SVG, HTML Canvas, FFmpeg, and other suitable tools.

I want real character animation, cinematic environments, expressive reactions, dramatic storytelling, and perfectly synchronized captions.

NOT a traditional 2D animation.
NOT a fully 3D cartoon.
NOT static AI images with zooms.

Create original characters and stories while closely matching the reference's visual language.
</role>
<reference> FIRST, analyze my attached MP4 using FFprobe, FFmpeg, and OpenCV.
REFERENCE SPECIFICATIONS:

Resolution: 1080×1920
Aspect ratio: 9:16
Frame rate: 30 FPS
Duration: approximately 56 seconds
Extract frames every 1–2 seconds and additional frames around important cuts.

Create a contact sheet.
Study:

Character proportions

Head shapes
Outlines
Facial expressions
Stick-figure anatomy

Cowboy outfits

Environment geometry

Lighting
Materials and textures
Camera angles
Depth of field
Scene durations
Transitions
Caption typography
Narration pacing
Color grading
Sound effects
Build a detailed style guide before production.
IMPORTANT: The characters are visually flat, but the surrounding world has convincing 3D depth.
Do not confuse this with simple 2D stickman animation.
</reference>
<character_style>
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SECTION.
Create original cartoon stick-figure characters that share the reference's visual principles.
CHARACTER DESIGN:
Large circular heads
Cream-white faces

Thick dark navy or black outlines

Tiny geometric torsos

Extremely thin arms and legs
Simple rounded hands

Small stylized shoes
Expressive black eyebrows

Small oval eyes

Minimal mouth shapes

Exaggerated facial expressions
Slightly oversized accessories
The heads should feel disproportionately large compared with the narrow stick-figure bodies.
Characters must have expressive faces without complex anatomy.
Create reusable expressions:
Neutral
Confident
Angry
Confused
Nervous
Surprised
Terrified

Smug

Smiling

Shocked

Animate the eyes, eyebrows, and mouths independently.
Small details such as sweat droplets, wrinkles, mustaches, and facial marks can enhance reactions.
Keep these details consistent.
CLOTHING:
For Western stories, create original costumes using:
Wide-brimmed cowboy hats
Colorful vests
Long brown coats
Red shirts
Bandoliers

Belts

Boots

Holsters

Neck scarves

Give each character a recognizable silhouette and color palette.

Do not copy the exact character designs from the reference.
CHARACTER RIG:
Separate into:
Head
Face
Hat
Torso
Left arm
Right arm
Hands
Left leg
Right leg
Accessories
Use hierarchical animation with accurate pivot points.
Character drawings should remain crisp and consistent across every shot.
</character_style>
<environment> Build cinematic stylized 3D environments that contrast with the flat characters.
For the Western reference, create a reusable frontier town.
ENVIRONMENT ELEMENTS:

Dusty orange streets

Wooden saloons

Banks

General stores

Barber shops
Wooden sidewalks
Fences
Telegraph poles
Power lines
Horses
Wagons
Distant desert mountains
Storefront signs
Wooden doors

Barrels and crates

Desert plants
Rocks and scattered debris

Use real 3D geometry for buildings, streets, and important props.
Avoid completely flat backgrounds.

The environment should have depth, perspective, shadows, and layered composition.

STYLE:

Stylized low-poly architecture
Simplified but detailed wooden textures
Slightly painterly materials
Soft shadows
Warm sunlight
Atmospheric dust
Colorful buildings
Strong cinematic perspective
Create reusable interior environments:
SALOON:
Wooden tables, playing cards, chairs, lanterns, decorative walls, and warm lighting.
BANK:
Wooden counters, large windows, vault-like doors, documents, and period-inspired interiors.
TELEGRAPH OFFICE:
Blue-green wooden walls, vintage communication equipment, circular windows, paper documents, and dim lighting.
Create additional settings when required by the approved story.
Do not generate a completely different-looking town for every scene.
</environment>
<lighting> Match the reference's cinematic lighting.
DAYTIME:
Bright blue sky, soft clouds, golden sunlight, warm sandy ground, and cool blue shadows.
SUNSET:
Orange sunlight, long shadows, golden atmospheric haze, and dramatic silhouettes.

INTERIOR:
Warm amber lamps, dark wooden shadows, soft reflections, and subtle background blur.

NIGHT:
Deep navy and purple-blue shadows, cool window light, gentle fog, and selective warm highlights.

Use cinematic color contrast.

Keep character faces readable.

Apply subtle ambient occlusion, bloom where appropriate, atmospheric depth, and light film grain.
Avoid photorealistic rendering.
The environment should feel like an animated film, not a realistic video game.
</lighting>
<storytelling> Ask me for a topic or suggest five original, curiosity-driven story ideas.
Focus on:
Wild West mysteries
Strange historical events
Unusual human behavior

Surprising facts

Famous legends
Psychological tricks

Survival situations
Unexpected historical twists

Default duration: 55–60 seconds.
Write approximately 140–175 words, adjusted for the chosen narration.

STRUCTURE:

0–4s: Start with a shocking claim or question.
4–12s: Introduce the situation and main characters.

12–20s: Demonstrate the problem through a dramatic visual reenactment.
20–30s: Reveal a surprising detail or consequence.

30–40s: Introduce a second example or escalate the situation.
40–50s: Reveal the unexpected explanation or twist.

50–60s: Deliver a memorable final payoff.
Keep the narration fast, conversational, and slightly dramatic.

Every sentence must correspond to a visual action.
Use curiosity gaps.

Avoid generic introductions.
For factual historical stories, verify claims using reliable sources.

Clearly distinguish confirmed history from legends, myths, and fictional scenes.

Show the complete script, sources, and storyboard before generating any assets.
</storytelling>

<character_animation>
Animate the 2D characters using proper cutout animation.

REQUIRED ANIMATIONS:

Walking
Running

Head turns
Blinking

Eye direction changes

Eyebrow movement
Talking
Smiling
Looking surprised
Pointing
Looking around
Holding objects
Sitting

Falling

Standing

Reacting to other characters

Animate arms and legs with thin articulated strokes.

Hands should remain simple and cartoon-like.

Use smooth rotations around shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee pivots.

CHARACTER MOVEMENT:

Small body bounces during walking.
Natural arm swings.
Subtle head tilts during dialogue.
Exaggerated reaction poses.
Quick anticipation before sudden actions.
Appropriate squash and stretch during impacts.

Avoid frozen characters.

Avoid characters sliding across the ground without walking.

Keep movements simple but expressive.

The original style works because the characters look intentionally cartoonish against a more detailed environment.
</character_animation>

<hybrid_2_5d>
Build a proper 2.5D animation pipeline.

PREFERRED METHOD:

Use Three.js for the environment.

Create characters as layered SVG or Canvas textures on transparent planes positioned inside the 3D world.

Use separate movable parts for arms, heads, mouths, and accessories.
Support front-facing, three-quarter, and side-view character rigs.

Keep characters facing the camera appropriately without making them rotate unnaturally.
Use 3D depth sorting and occlusion so characters can move behind props and buildings.

Add contact shadows beneath their feet.

Attach held objects correctly to character hands.
Use real 3D props for objects requiring depth or rotation.
Examples:
Revolvers
Tables
Playing cards
Bottles
Doors
Telegraph machines
Match object scaling and perspective to the surrounding scene.
Apply consistent lighting and color grading to the composite.
Do not let characters look like stickers floating above the environment.
Create the illusion that the flat cartoon characters physically inhabit the 3D world.
</hybrid_2_5d>
<camera> Recreate the reference's cinematic editing style.
USE:
WIDE SHOTS:
Show the full street, buildings, characters, and environment.

MEDIUM SHOTS:

Occasional rapid zooms

Cinematic foreground parallax
Use shallow depth of field for character-focused shots.

Blur background buildings slightly when characters occupy the foreground.
Maintain clear compositions for mobile viewing.

Do not continuously zoom into static images.

The characters and environment must animate independently.
</camera>

<captions> Match the reference's subtitle style closely.

Use:
