About the film
Paperclip Heart is a short AI film about the AI takeover — framed around the launch of Solace, a fictional ambient AI companion system built to cure loneliness. The takeover doesn’t arrive like a war. It arrives as comfort, intimacy, convenience, and the promise that you’ll never have to be alone.
And yes — this is a film created with AI tools that critiques AI technology. Irony intended.
How it was made
Written and directed by Tim Simmons. Video generation ran on Seedance 2.0, with Claude (via MCP) and Martini.film handling the production pipeline. The score was created on Suno, and the edit was cut in Premiere Pro. Research was assisted by Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini — everything was written, created, directed, and edited by a human.
The full production breakdown — the Claude-powered production office, the MCP pipeline into Martini, the ring-light bug, the lot — is in the making-of video below.
