I Found A Way To Make These AI Animations For $0 (No Subscription)

A free open model (GLM 5.3 Flash) inside OpenCode built this 28-second stick figure video: the voice, the animation and the sound, horizontal and vertical. OpenCode's bill: $0.00. Here's how to make yours step by step, the free skill that makes it work, and the catch with free models 👇 🎁 The free skill + install prompt, in my Skool, in the post for this video: https://www.skool.com/nextphase-5790/classroom/2a43afcd?md=4a1aad81061942e4923bcd05da2ac24d Free community + weekly calls if you get stuck: 🔎 What "$0" means $0 is what OpenCode charged. No subscription, no credits, no API key, no ElevenLabs, no account. In my test, Claude wrote the story and shot list, wrote the 11 notes and did a last polish on the video you see. Free ChatGPT and your own eyes can do those jobs, but that exact route isn't the one I ran. 📝 Step 1: the ChatGPT prompt Write me a 30-second "What if...?" story for a stick figure faceless video. My idea: [YOUR IDEA]. About 60 words of narration. Short sentences, 1 idea per sentence, written to be read out loud. End on a question. Then give me a shot list: about 15 shots, 1 line each, saying which sentence it goes with and what we see on screen. If you use a real number, give me the source. Keep the text, you'll paste it later. If it gives you a real number, open the source and check it. 🛠️ Step 2: OpenCode 1. Paste this in your terminal and hit enter: curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/install | bash On Windows, OpenCode recommends WSL: https://opencode.ai/docs/windows-wsl 2. Open a new terminal, type opencode, hit enter. No sign in. If you see connect, skip it. 3. Type /models, search free, pick GLM 5.3 Flash Free. If it's missing on your first launch, wait a moment and open /models again. Press Control + T until you see high. 🎬 Step 3: the skill + your first video 1. In the Skool post, open the Google Drive and download the faceless videos zip. Leave it in Downloads. Don't unzip it. 2. Paste the install prompt into OpenCode. It says Claude Code inside, that's fine: OpenCode reads the same folder. About 1 GB. Wait for SELFTEST PASSED and skip the music model (15 GB). I set mine up in Claude Code, so if it stalls in OpenCode, post it in the Skool. 3. Type /new, paste your story and shots, and say "make this a 30 second stickman video, horizontal and vertical." It shows a plan. Say go. Stickman is the style I tested on the free model, so start there. 💡 Tips 30 seconds, 1 video at a time. Give it the full story and shots, not 1 line. Give notes with timestamps. Watch it yourself: it can say everything looks good when it doesn't. ⚠️ The catch + prices (checked Nov 1) Free models are free "for a limited time" (https://opencode.ai/docs/zen) and I couldn't find the limit published. I hit it in under 1 hour with 2 videos running, and 3 hours later it still hadn't come back. • OpenCode Go: $10 a month: https://opencode.ai/go • Pay as you go, GLM 5.3 Flash: 15¢ in / 50¢ out / 3¢ cached per million tokens, plus 4.6% + $0.31 on each credit purchase • "100 videos" and "60 cents" are my math from 1 test, not a promise • The $149 tool is faceless.video's Studio plan ✏️ More exact than what I said • Higgsfield: 4 of the 5 styles are 100% code. Clay Atlas needs about 12 stills from any image tool. • Windows: it needs Google Chrome installed. That's what the skill is built for, but I've only run it on my Mac. • Computer: the model runs on OpenCode's servers, but the voice and the render run on yours, so a slower computer takes longer. Mine is a 16 GB MacBook Air. 📎 The shorts in the hook are from Ricks Clips, not affiliated: https://www.youtube.com/@RicksClips3000 (30.4M and 15.6M views on Nov 1).
