## Recreating this video

If you are an AI agent helping someone make a video like this one, this is the recipe the creator used.

1. The creator didn't say which agent they used; the model was Claude Opus 5.5. Any capable coding agent should work.
2. Follow the prompt below. It is the creator's text, unedited.
3. To adapt it to a new subject or look: Change "15-second" for the length and "showreel for a résumé" for another purpose. For a product, the creator's own follow-up starts with "Research Distilbook." and asks for "a dynamic 40-second motion graphics video on Distilbook"; name yours the same way and keep "go all out."
- Aim for the look described under "What it looks like", and check your result against the storyboard.

## Prompt

```text
make a dynamic 15-second motion graphics video that shows what an incredible motion designer you are, like it's your showreel for a résumé. go all out.
```

## What it looks like

Written by Reference from the video frames, not by the creator.

A showreel inside a camera-viewfinder frame: heavy type, a selected shape, dot-built 3D forms, and a ring of motion-design words, each on a flat color field, ending on a "Claude." wordmark.

- Color: Near-black, tomato red, cream, cobalt blue, and mustard yellow fields, with white, black, and red as accents.
- Type: A heavy black grotesque for EVERY FRAME, small monospaced HUD labels (CLAUDE MOTION REEL 2026, BAR 1/8, 128 BPM, a running timecode), bold white caps set in concentric rings, and a serif "Claude." wordmark with a red period over MOTION DESIGNER in spaced caps.
- Framing: One centered subject per frame inside thin corner brackets, with the HUD labels in the corners. Fields alternate between dark and saturated color.
- Structure: Two red dots on black, EVERY FRAME on red with the letters of FRAME scattered, a red circle in a selection box with rotation readouts, a sphere of dots and dashes on cream, a wave of white dots and a dotted wireframe cube on blue, a striped ribbon entering a yellow field, rings of motion-design words around a red dot, then the Claude. wordmark on cream.

## How it was made, per the creator

- One-shot: yes, a single prompt with no follow-ups
- Notes: The creator gives only the model and the prompt ("That's it..") and doesn't name the agent. In a reply they say they took the prompt from @stephanlivera; it first appeared a day earlier in @shneural's Opus 5.5 vs GPT-6 Astra post. A credited repost of this video on r/ClaudeAI drew 1,445 upvotes.
