# Pelican on a Bicycle · Opus 5.5 Coastal Retry

consumer451 revisited the coastal cycling animation in the Claude web app with the author-reported Opus 5.5 High setting. The author described reusing Simon Willison’s animation code with a short request for 3D animation. The published scene offers several camera views, auto-orbit, pause, and speed controls. The author reported an improvement and noted that the web app’s system prompt or skills could also have changed. The two versions are related, distinct model outputs.
