Octobawa | Simlish Halloween | Claude Opus 5.5 Music Video

Skip the intro: the song starts at 1:10. Oktobawa (Octobawa) is a Halloween anthem sung entirely in Simlish, the made-up language of The Sims, as an epic choir song in the spirit of "Baba Yetu". A grandpa carves a pumpkin on his porch and greets the trick-or-treaters with "Sul sul!", the whole street sings, the kids knock door to door for candy, and the night ends at the churchyard, where the ancestors climb out of their graves for one last dance before the first snow of winter. A claymation-style Simlish Halloween song for the spooky season: skeleton dance, ghosts, jack-o'-lanterns, a choir and a children's choir. Made with AI: the song and vocals are by Suno (v6); the Simlish lyrics were drafted by Claude from my idea. The video was built in code (Three.js) with Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code: clay puppets, rigs, the street and the churchyard, all modelled and animated in code, with no AI video. The only generated images are the cartoon eye sheets (Google Gemini). The slop-o-meter at the end scores how much AI went in. The clay look was inspired by SavannahXYZ's "Spooky Scary Skeletons - ANIMATORS BEWARE" (   • Spooky Scary Skeletons - ANIMATORS BEWARE  ). Go watch it: it's hand-made and wonderful. Other influences: Psychonauts, Brütal Legend and Costume Quest (Tim Schafer / Double Fine), The Nightmare Before Christmas, Coraline and Corpse Bride. Our characters are our own designs.

Where the AI went: Song and vocals made in Suno v6 (+15) Simlish lyrics drafted by Claude from my idea (+11.2) Clay puppets, rigs and world coded by Claude (+8) Claude built the shots; I gave notes, 10 rounds (+7.5) Gemini drew the eye sheets only ($0.32) (+2.5) Haiku judges checked motion and hands (+1.5) Vocal stem split with demucs (+1.5) No lyrics on screen; whisper timed the cuts (+1.2) None: AI video. By hand: the idea, the clay look and brief, every note, picking the take. Credits Song: Suno (Simlish lyrics drafted by Claude). Video: Claude Opus 5.5 (Claude Code), rendered with Three.js (MIT). Eye sheets: Google Gemini. Some dance motion (the Charleston and the salsa) is from the CMU Graphics Lab Motion Capture Database (mocap.cs.cmu.edu), created with funding from NSF EIA-0196217.
