The director
A 3D short about the night you stop editing.
New. First edition, November 2026
A 311-page beginner’s book and 43 ready-made Claude Code skills. Go from zero to finished Instagram Reels by describing them in plain English.
Checkout opens when payments go live. Nothing was charged.
One-time payment. Book only $64. 7-day refund, terms below. Needs a computer and a Claude plan ($20 a month).
Every Reel on this page was made by typing. No timeline, no keyframes, no editing app. You tell Claude Code what you want in plain English, and this book shows you exactly how to say it.
Replays of real runs from our test round. The first word picks the skill, the rest is plain English, and the clip is the file Claude Code returned.

For these tests Claude was told to render straight away. In normal use it shows you a still to approve first. File paths are trimmed.
Each of these was built the way the book teaches: instructions typed to Claude Code, rendered with Remotion and FFmpeg. These came after many drafts, and your first Reels will be simpler.

Every world in this flight is a skill in the bundle. One request built the whole camera move.
The whole path in one order, from installing the tools to posting, with every brief, frame spec and checklist written out.
An empty computer. No tools installed, no coding, no editing experience.
A working studio on your own computer, finished Reels of three kinds (talking head with animation, faceless motion and 3D explainers), your own style sheet and skills, and a release checklist you run before every post.







“The skill isn’t editing anymore. The skill is knowing what to ask for.”From Part 01
Type a slash command and Claude builds that effect into your Reel. Each skill is a folder with instructions, a working component, a preview and test cases. Every one was rendered and checked before release.
One move on your clip, landed on a word you say. Needs a clip of you.
Whole-Reel layouts, such as a tutorial, a tier list or a split screen.
Faceless and 3D. No camera needed. The 23-style animation pack counts as one.
These frames were rendered by the skills. The illustrated presenter stands in for your own footage, and the numbers are example data.
Part 02 installs Claude Code, Remotion and FFmpeg with you, on Windows or Mac. There is a quick-start lane in the Claude desktop app, where Claude runs the setup commands for you.
A short brief: who it is for, how long it runs, what it shows. Part 06 gives you the five-part template.
Claude shows you its plan and a still before it builds. You change what you don’t like in plain words.
Claude renders the video. You run the book’s release checklist, then post.
You can read the book on your phone. You make the Reels on a computer.
Windows 10 or 11, or a Mac. 16 GB of RAM is the practical floor, with 20 to 30 GB of free disk.
Paid to Anthropic, not to us. Pro is $20 a month at the time of writing (November 2026). Pro has usage limits, so a long session can pause until they reset.
Node.js, Python, Git, FFmpeg and Remotion. Part 02 installs them with you. Remotion is free for individuals and companies of up to 3 people.
An AI voice service, if you want narrated Reels without recording yourself.
The bundle is $13 more, and you start with all 43 skills already built and tested.

Buy it, read it, try the setup. If it is not for you, email samo.dedication@gmail.com within 7 days of your purchase and we refund the full amount.
One condition, for bundle buyers: the refund applies as long as you have not downloaded the Skill Bundle. The skills are files you keep, so they can’t be handed back. The book is yours to read straight away, so read first and download the bundle when you are sure.
If you have downloaded the bundle and it won’t run on your computer, email us what happened. We will help you fix it. If we can’t, we refund you in full. This is in addition to any rights you have under your local law.
This is a first edition, released in November 2026. We don’t publish made-up reviews. When buyers send feedback, it will appear here with their permission.
Samo is a small studio. Questions go to samo.dedication@gmail.com, and a person replies, usually within 2 business days.
Yes. You don’t write code. You type what you want in plain English, and Claude Code writes and runs the code on your computer.
You do install a few free tools once. Part 02 walks through each one on Windows and Mac, and it has a quick-start lane in the Claude desktop app, where Claude runs the setup commands for you. The first setup takes patience. When something errors, the book shows you how to hand the error to Claude.
Yes. Claude Code is not part of Claude’s free plan, so you need a paid Claude plan that includes it. At the time of writing (November 2026) that starts with Pro at $20 a month, paid to Anthropic and separate from this purchase. Check Anthropic’s site for the current price.
Pro has usage limits that reset every five hours and every week. A long session can hit them, and then you wait for the reset or move to a bigger plan.
The other tools the book uses (Node.js, Python, Git, FFmpeg and Remotion) are free to install. Remotion is free for individuals and companies of up to 3 people, and bigger companies need its paid company licence. An AI voice service is optional.
No. The book teaches three kinds of Reel: talking head with animation, faceless motion and 3D explainers. Two of the three need no camera, and 11 of the 43 skills are faceless or 3D motion styles.
The 24 talking-head effects do need a clip of you. A phone clip is fine, and the bundle includes a test clip so you can try those effects before you film anything. Effects that put words or objects behind you also need a cut-out video of you. The skills explain how to make one with a background-removal tool.
Yes. The demos here are about this book because that is what we sell. You give Claude your own words, clips and numbers, and Parts 04 and 12 show you how to set your own colours and fonts.
You need a Windows 10 or 11 PC or a Mac. 16 GB of RAM is the practical floor, with 20 to 30 GB of free disk. To check: on Windows, open Settings, System, About and read Installed RAM. On a Mac, open the Apple menu, About This Mac, and read Memory. A newer graphics chip speeds up 3D but isn’t required.
It does not run on a phone or tablet. You can read the book anywhere, but you make the Reels on a computer. If the bundle won’t run on your computer and we can’t fix it, we refund you.
No. The book has prompts on most pages, but it is a 311-page course in directing: setup, the brief, frame-by-frame direction, sound, hooks and release checks.
The skills aren’t prompts either. Each one is a folder with instructions, a working Remotion component, a preview image and test cases, and all 43 were rendered and checked before release.
Email us within 7 days and you get a full refund, as long as you haven’t downloaded the Skill Bundle. The book is yours to read from the first minute, so read it first and download the bundle when you are sure.
If you have downloaded the bundle and it won’t run on your computer, tell us. If we can’t fix it, we refund you anyway. The full terms are on the refund page.
You can learn a lot of it for free. If you enjoy piecing a workflow together from scattered videos, you may not need this.
The book puts the whole path in one order, from installing the tools to exporting, with the briefs, frame specs and checklists written out. The bundle adds 43 effects that are already built and tested.
This is code-rendered animation, the same kind of output as motion-graphics software. It is not AI-generated footage.
Out of the box, the skills use the book’s own look. Parts 04 and 12 show you how to learn a style from Reels you like and set your own colours and fonts. If you skip that step, your Reels will look like the demos on this page.
You don’t read it all first. The quick route is setup (Part 02), the brief (Part 06), then one recipe from Part 08, 09 or 10. The rest is there when you want to go deeper.
We don’t promise that, and nobody honestly can. The book teaches you to make the Reel. It also covers hooks (Part 14) and how to test what you post (Part 17). Reach depends on your ideas and your audience.
Because it is new. It came out in November 2026, and we won’t publish invented reviews.
Here is what you can check instead: every video on this page was made with the method in the book, the pages shown are real pages, all 43 skill previews are on this page, Part 01 is free to read, and there is a 7-day refund.
Tools change, and some commands will age. The book was written against the versions current in November 2026 and has you record your own versions as you install.
What lasts is the method: the brief, the frame spec and the checks. When a command behaves differently, the book’s rule is to have Claude read the tool’s current documentation first.
The book is a 311-page PDF. The Skill Bundle is a zip file with the 43 skills, a starter project, a test clip and 13 sound effects.
After you pay, a page opens with your download links. The book and the Skill Bundle are separate downloads. If the page doesn’t open, or you paid on your phone and want the links on your computer, email samo.dedication@gmail.com with your receipt and we’ll send them.
The book is enough if you want to build each skill yourself: it prints the prompt and recipe for the effects and styles. The bundle saves you that work. For $13 more you start with all 43 already built and tested.
Yes. You can make videos for yourself and for paying clients, and the videos you make are yours. You can’t resell or share the book, the bundle or the skills themselves. The licence is in the terms of sale. Tools you add yourself, such as a voice service or a background-removal tool, have their own terms, so check them before paid work.
No. Samo is independent. Claude Code, Instagram, Remotion and the other tools mentioned belong to their owners.
The book and all 43 skills, $77 once.
