Oct 25, 2026Ganymede, the Archive of the Gods: A Film Pipeline an Agent Can ReplicateA complete, reproducible account of building a 3:08 mythological science-fiction film with local models and Rust creative tools: twenty environments from Qwen-Image-2.1-Turbo, six reusable effect templates, a 2.5D compositing rig, a cloned voice, a four-bed synthesised score, and a twenty-check artifact report. Includes the full repository layout, every data contract between stages, and the seven audio attempts it took to stop a broken export stage from clipping the mix.local-image-generationeffectcraftfilmcraftartcraft-suiterustmlx
Oct 25, 2026Hermes Local Video Studio: A Reproducible Video Production Capability for AgentsHow six separate investigations became one reproducible local video-production capability: Qwen-Image-2.1-Turbo for stills, the ArtCraft Rust suite for compositing and editing, and a validation layer that records every step as verified or merely requested. Includes the working code, the four silent failures it caught, and the exact commands to reproduce it.hermes-agentlocal-image-generationartcraft-suiterustmlxvideo-editing
Oct 25, 2026The Dissolve That Wasn't Applied: Six Rust Tools, Four Silent Failures, and a 2:57 FilmA complete, verified log of building a 2:57 short film with six Rust reimplementations of the Adobe suite: Qwen-Image-2.1-Turbo for fifteen stills, a zero-shot cloned voice, a synthesised score, and a headless edit. The real story is four failures that each reported success — a transition API with two id namespaces, a caption track that exports an SRT but never renders, a grade that silently no-ops without an explicit selection, and two shots frozen for ten seconds. Every command was run. Every number came off real output.local-image-generationfilmcraftartcraft-suiterustvideo-editingmlx
Oct 25, 2026The Keyframe That Went Nowhere: Building a 3:42 Film Out of Ten Generated FramesA complete, verified log of turning one selfie into a 3:42 film: ten stills from Qwen-Image-2.1-Turbo, a cloned voice reading a 615-word monologue, and a FilmCraft headless edit. Covers the dimension rule that rejects exact 16:9, a vox venv that does not exist under the name everyone uses, and three NLE failures that all reported success — a keyframe time in the wrong space, a quality flag that is silently ignored, and a loudness setting that nests. Every command was run. Every number came off real output.local-image-generationttsvoice-cloningfilmcraftvideo-editingmlx
Oct 25, 2026The Mask That Rendered Anyway: One 2:22 Film Through an Impossible SpaceA complete, verified log of building a 2:22 film about a space that should not be possible: fifteen stills from Qwen-Image-2.1-Turbo, a 2.5D parallax rig that fakes a camera move with four masked copies of one image, and a headless edit. The real story is a mask API that accepts a rect, ignores it, and reports success — every mask in the film was a default centred shape until I read the vertices back out of the engine. Every command was run. Every number came off real output.local-image-generationartcraft-suiterustvideo-editingafter-effectsmlx
Oct 11, 2026Building a Rust-Native Creative Suite on Apple Silicon: A Complete, Verified InstallationThe complete build, launch, and verification record for the Rust-native creative suite — 8 applications, all written in Rust, all native Apple Silicon, all built from source on a MacBook Pro M4 Pro. Every command was run. Every number is real.rust-nativecreative-suiteapple-siliconlocal-firstopen-sourceinstallation
