Show HN: The Perfect Fit – A Valentine's day story

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwFgRjhKay0
1•hotrod46•1h ago
One week ago, in the true spirit of Valentine's day, I decided to made a short film with AI.

In keeping with the Valentine's day theme, I'm calling it "The Perfect Fit".

At first glance it seems like a bunch of shapes moving around. Being completely honest, that's all it is. The interesting bit is - everyone you know (you included) - will naturally assume that it is a love story.

Was your brain playing tricks on you this whole time? Yes and no - the concept for this short film was inspired from a 1944 study by scientists Heider and Simmel. Participants of the study were shown a 90 second animation of shapes moving around.

When asked to describe what they saw - they told stories about how the shapes interacting described bullying, the fight of good over evil, how love conquers all, etc.

All of these complex, emotionally layered stories, just for a bunch of triangles and circles moving around.

The point was to show that - by nature, humans love giving human like qualities to everything around them. This is the same impulse that makes you see a face when looking at the front of the car.

I'm a sucker for all things human psychology - and this was too good of an idea to not steal.

Brass tacks wise - it was a good benchmark to see how far LLMs have come at solving and reasoning with math problems.

As the whole animation was written in Python by Claude and Gemini - for Blender - the models were in complete control over the timeline, keyframes, and visual effects. Consistently blown away by how fast these models are progressing.

There's a GitHub link for code if you're into that sort of thing (repo includes a blender plugin that hot reloads the blender project when the code changes) -
