I worked with an LLM to build a ~3D animation of the Back to the Future delorean Time Machine as a way to spice up the hero on a docs page.

That took a fair amount of custom tuning and I had to create a tuning view to get some of the behaviors right.

But it was enough fun that I generalized it to take in ~any scene description from a film. It goes out and gets more detailed descriptions and film stills if available but also takes custom stills if you provide them.

My test scene was the Gauntlet scene from Apocalypto. It is low fidelity but does a pretty amazing sequence with somewhat believable physics of the javelins etc.

Here is the docs page with the vertical takeoff / 88 miles an hour time travel: https://contextify.sh/docs

I can share some of the Apocalypto bit if anyone is interested.
