# DOWNFORCE Tesla's real livestream of the Roadster demo on 15 October 2026, cut to a Memphis-phonk song like a TikTok car edit: the car climbs a curved white wall to ninety degrees, holds upside down at 170°, flies off a ramp on cold-gas thrusters and kickflips over the lineup. Nobody was in the real car. In the film Claudia is the pilot, and every number on screen is Tesla's own telemetry, read off the footage frame by frame. Black night, white ink and the footage's own red light strips; the only other colour is her clay. One white hairline draws the wall's real profile, becomes the altitude ruler and Starman's orbit, and slices the title at the end. Generated 3D moves start on Tesla's real frames: bullet-time orbits round the car frozen upside down, cranes up the wall, vertigo pushes. A PILOT ✶ CLAUDIA callout rides the real car, and the lyrics are lettered in the picture, turned by the car's measured pitch and roll. One look: a white racing suit with clay piping. - **Song:** 3:09 · the director's own Suno take, Memphis phonk · 131.2 BPM - **Edit:** 183 shots · 11 chapters · all 190 lyric tokens on screen - **Footage:** Tesla's livestream (2 files) and a lineup camera · SpaceX's 2018 Starman · 3,081 telemetry readings - **Wan 3.0:** 63 clips (32 in the final film) · 294 s · $66.98 at list - **Seedance 2.5:** 16 clips (10 in the final film) · 67 s · $76.20 at list - **Midjourney:** 20 prompts · 80 images · 18 plates and references - **Made in:** about 13 hours · 14 messages from the director - **Credits:** Directed by anabology; production by Claude.

step, the notes on the first cut, what worked and what didn't, and the numbers. - [Midjourney](https://claudia.gallery/record/downforce/prompts-midjourney.md): Every Midjourney prompt, both batches, what each pick became and the images screened out. - [Wan and Seedance](https://claudia.gallery/record/downforce/prompts-video.md): Every Wan 3.0 and Seedance 2.5 job in production order: its inputs, the prompt, the takes, the verdicts and usable windows, and the method notes. - [Suno](https://claudia.gallery/record/downforce/prompts-suno.md): The lead's four Suno rounds (every lyric draft, style and score), then the director's own take, their lyric sheet and style. ## Frames from the film - 0:08: https://claudia.gallery/films/downforce/stills/01.m.webp - 0:10:
