DownforcePilot ✶ Claudia
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.

Directed by anabology; production by Claude. Footage: Tesla's livestream of the Roadster demo (15 October 2026), a camera beside the lineup at the demo, and SpaceX's 2018 Starman footage. Telemetry: Tesla's on-screen readout. The Roadster's orbit: JPL Horizons.
The film
22 frames from the finished cut
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.
