Writing Visualizations with Remotion

Remotion is having a bit of a moment at the moment, and I decided to play around with the Claude Code integration. Here are a couple videos I was able to make in <10 minutes summarizring data on my blog.

First, here is published posts over time. I had Claude write some scripts to generate this dataset, and then did a series of prompts to get the right visual. It was pretty straightforward, worked well, and I imagine I could have gotten to the right video much faster if I’d had a clearer destination when I started.

Second, here’s a video of showing the published blog posts over time, my most frequently used tags at that point in time, and how many posts I published at each employer along the way.

Altogether, this was a really fascinating to see how effectively Claude and Remotion together were able to generate fairly complex videos. This is definitely something I could imagine using again.
