121 film styles for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Gemini CLI
Make faceless videos with the coding agent you already pay for
Pick a style and give your agent a topic. It animates the film in code on your own computer and hands you a finished MP4. You don't buy credits for Veo, Sora, Kling or Runway, and nobody charges you per second. Your agent runs on the plan you already have.
You pay once, by card or PayPal, and VAT is included. If it's not for you, you get your money back within 14 days. There's also a smaller kit with 30 styles for $19.
- 121 styles, each with an example film
- 41 of them also made for 9:16
- No charge per minute, because it renders on your computer
Every film on this page was made by a fresh Claude Code session that had only the kit to work from. We animate our own YouTube channels the same way, for example Primal Bound and The Money Fools, and several of these styles started there.
Why most AI videos look cheap
If you ask an AI agent for a video and don't tell it what it should look like, you get centered text on a gradient with shapes sliding in. That's what every other AI video looks like too.
A style kit tells your agent what to do. It has the palette, the characters, scene templates and rules for how things move and cut. It also has a checklist the agent uses to grade its own frames before it renders.
We gave Claude Code the same brief twice: "a 10-second video: a young courier rides a scooter through a rainy neon city at night with a parcel, stops at a door and hands it over." Both are the first take, and we didn't pick or retouch anything.
We use these kits every day
ReelStyles started in our own studio. An AI agent on one small server animates the videos for our YouTube channels in code, for example Primal Bound and The Money Fools. The kits hold what we learned doing that, written so your agent can do it too.

From topic to finished film
- Pick a style
There are 121 looks, like cut paper, 80s anime, a toy-like 3D world or a keynote launch. Each one has an example film so you can see it first.
- Tell your agent the topic
Write it in plain words, like you'd brief a designer:
Make a 3-minute video about why the Titanic sank, in the cut-paper documentary style.
- Get a finished film
Your agent plans the scenes and animates them in the style. It checks its own frames against the kit, then renders an MP4 on your computer. If you want a change, edit a line and render again.

What a minute of video costs
Video models charge for every second they generate, including the takes you throw away. A ReelStyles film is drawn in code and rendered on your computer, so nobody charges you by the minute. You pay once for the kits, and your agent runs on the plan you already have.
Prices are from each company's pricing page on 16 October 2026. Video models make realistic footage and ReelStyles makes animation, so pick whichever fits your video. What your agent does still counts toward your plan's limits.
| Tool | Per minute of video |
|---|---|
| Google Veo 3.1 Fast (API) | $6.00-7.20 |
| Runway, Standard plan | about $7-9 |
| InVideo AI | about €20-35 |
| ReelStyles | Nothing per minute, you pay once for the kits |
$49 for the first 20, then $79
The first 20 Full copies cost $49. After that, Full costs $79 and stays there. You pay once and get every style we add later. If you'd rather start small, 6 styles are free and Starter has 30 for $19 (see pricing).

Questions
Which AI agents does it work with?
Any agent that can read files and run commands in a terminal. That includes Claude Code (where it installs as a plugin), Codex, Cursor, Roo Code, Cline, Gemini CLI and GitHub Copilot. We made every example film on this site with Claude Code. The kits are plain markdown, HTML and JavaScript files, so any of these agents can follow them.
What do I get after I pay?
Right after you pay, you land on a page with your zip download. There's also a box for your GitHub username, and we send you an invite to your tier's private repository (Starter has 30 styles, Full has all of them). 6 styles are free in a public repository. Claude Code installs the kit as a plugin, and other agents just open the folder. Setup takes about 15 minutes.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You tell your agent what you want in plain words and it writes the code. Your computer needs Node.js, Chrome and FFmpeg. After you buy, tell your agent "set up ReelStyles". It checks your computer and offers to install anything that's missing.
How long does a film take?
Rendering takes about 1 to 3 seconds per second of film on a normal 4-core computer, so a 3-minute film renders in roughly 3 to 9 minutes. Before that, your agent plans and builds the scenes, and you check stills along the way. We timed our own runs from an empty folder to a finished MP4, using Claude Code on Sonnet on a shared 6-core server. A 10-second Short took 3.8 minutes (median of 29 runs) and a 30-second film took 14 minutes (median of 67).
Can it add a voiceover and music?
Yes. Most kits come with render notes that show your agent how to make a narration and time the shots to it. It can use a free voice that runs on your computer, or ElevenLabs if you have an account. For music and sound effects, use tracks you have a licence for. The clips on this site are silent so they can play on the page.
Which plan do I need for my agent?
The paid plan you already use for your agent. A film uses a fair amount of it, so with a bigger plan you can make more films a day. We don't sell or include any AI plan.
Will my films look like the examples?
We made the examples the same way you'll make yours: a fresh agent, an empty folder and the kit. Your topic and script will be different, but the look stays the same. Every style has its example film in the catalog, so you can see each look before you buy.
Can I use the videos commercially?
Yes. The films you render are yours to publish, monetise and use in ads or for your business. The kits are licensed to you alone and may not be shared or resold.
Is this the same as Claude Motion?
No. Claude Motion is an animation feature in the Claude app, in beta on Team and Enterprise plans. Claude's pricing page lists it as not included in Free, Pro or Max (16 October 2026). It animates in code too. ReelStyles works in Claude Code and other agents on the plan you already have. We are not affiliated with Anthropic. The longer answer.
What if it's not for me?
Email us within 14 days of buying and we'll refund the full price. You don't have to give a reason.
