Three hearts and blue blood.
A 32-second animation showcase from 10 September 2026: illustrated frames, a moving camera and an English narrator.
Press play and turn the sound on in the player. It also goes full screen.
An older showcase. Its moving camera shows the animatic approach, while animation films today generate moving footage. The chapters and captions belong to this one film.
Why Octopuses Have 3 Hearts and Blue Blood.
Four chapters in half a minute: three hearts?, the hearts, blue blood, tired swimmer. A painted red octopus fills every frame, each picture drawn for its line and given a slow camera move, a chapter pill in the corner, a big fitted title with one word in yellow, and karaoke captions under it that light up as the narrator says them. Copper, not iron: that is why the blood is blue.
This vertical preview is 608 × 1080 pixels. Made on 10 September 2026 using OpenCode, this earlier showcase uses illustrated frames under a moving camera. That approach is now offered as an animatic, 5 credits up to 20 seconds and 10 up to 60; animation films generate moving footage. Confirm the available chapter, music and subtitle options for a new order.
The whole request, one line.
Copy it as it is, or keep its shape and change the subject: what it is about, how long it runs, which format, which look, which language.
“Make me a vertical Short, about 40 seconds, animation look, about why octopuses have three hearts and blue blood. English narration.”
In a connected client, kleo_adapt_prompt reads a request like this against the intake (subject,
length, format, look; audience, tone and what must appear are optional), asks for whatever is missing, and
returns the treatment: logline, angle, opening, acts, ending, look, pacing, narrator.
kleo_storyboard_guide then sets out how the storyboard is written, and kleo_create_video
checks everything, states the product and exact credits before you approve the render. At the current tariff, a 40-second film costs 27 credits, while a 40-second animatic costs 10. After approval it
starts the render on a GPU rented for that job. Nothing is charged until that call accepts the job.
Seven things to look for.
- LookAn earlier animation showcase: painted frames, a moving camera and one character carried across the shots. Kleo’s other look, realistic, is generated live-action footage, as in Tether and Signal Delay.
- ChaptersFour, each with its pill in the corner: the question, the answer, the colour of the blood, the tired swimmer.
- On the frameA big fitted title per chapter with one word in yellow, and captions that light up word by word as the narrator speaks — the treatment of this Short asked for them.
- NarrationOne English narrator. Turn the sound on in the player.
- Master4K (2160×3840) at 60 fps, 9:16. Shown here at 1080p, 60 fps.
- Length32 seconds. A Kleo film runs from 15 seconds to 5 minutes.
- Made byAn assistant working alone, following the documented steps of the time: OpenCode read the guide, wrote the storyboard, started the render and waited for the link.

Your own Short, from one message.
Connect Kleo to Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor or another MCP client, then describe your film in one message: the subject, the length, the format and the look. Connecting gives you 5 credits, with no form and no card: enough for a 20-second animatic (a 40-second one is 10). As a film — made only for accounts that have bought a pack — a 40-second Short is 27 credits, so the €15 pack covers it with room to spare. A film render typically takes 25–35 minutes on a GPU rented for that job, and the finished MP4 comes back as a link that stays good for 7 days.
