How to make looping pixel-art physics reels with Claude

A step-by-step guide to this format: what @planckpixel does, why a reel with 796K views works, the Claude prompts to make your own version, and how postreadygo posts one every day at the best time on every platform.

“Why does a V12 scream?” A pixel-art supercar opens up to show twelve cylinders firing in order, with the numbers ticking on screen. The reel reached 796K views in four days, on an account with 34.6K followers that posts physics, math and nature as looping pixel art.

What Claude is and how to get an account

Claude is an AI assistant made by Anthropic. It can research, write scripts and prompts, and write the code that draws an animation in your browser.

  1. Go to claude.ai or install the Claude app.
  2. Sign up with your email address or your Google account.
  3. Type your first message in the box at the bottom.

Step 1: Claude plans the loop

Claude plans the loop prompt

Plan a 30-second looping reel: “Why does a V12 scream?”
Give me 5 captions of 4 words or fewer and say what the animation shows during each.
Check the numbers (cylinders, strokes, bangs per turn) and tell me your sources.

Read what Claude gives you and change anything that does not sound like you.

Step 2: Claude codes the pixel loop

Claude codes the pixel loop prompt

Build this as a single HTML file on a canvas, vertical 1080x1920, pixel-art style.
A cutaway of a V12: 12 cylinders firing in order, an RPM counter and a bangs-per-second counter.
Make the last frame match the first so it loops. Add a Record button that downloads the video.

If something looks wrong, tell Claude what you see and it fixes it.

Why posting by hand holds you back

  • Five apps, five uploads. The same video, the same caption, again and again for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and Threads.
  • The wrong time. You post when you remember, not when your audience is online.
  • One busy day breaks the streak. Then two, then a week, and the account stops growing.

With postreadygo, one message to Claude schedules a whole month: one video a day, each at its best time, on every platform at once. That is 30 posts a month per platform, without opening a single app.

Step 3: Connect postreadygo to Claude

  1. Go to postreadygo.com and click Get started for free. Then open Linked and connect Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or any other supported network.
  2. In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector.
  3. Name it postreadygo and paste: https://www.postreadygo.com/mcp
  4. Click Connect, sign in to postreadygo and press Allow.
  5. Test it: “List my postreadygo accounts.”
