Collage-style animated image composition made in After Effects

This MJ style is highly unconventional, but what I LOVE about it is that, completely unprompted, blending it creates a sharply distinct collage effect. The second I saw the outputs, I knew they had to be animated in After Effects. How was it done? ⤵️ I asked Claude Opus 5.5 to: 📜 Isolate the image into layers using Magnific's segmenter: background, cloud chunks, man, watering can, arm, wall, railing, and planter. ✂️ Cut the edges cleanly while inpainting any missing background data. 🔎 Pull from Magnific's stock or generate net-new pieces for the animation (e.g., the sunrise sky, which is just the recolored blue canvas texture). 🦾 Execute the scripts directly inside my local After Effects. --sref 283186162::2 4254894590
