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

1. Work in Claude Cowork with Claude Opus 5.5, or the closest equivalent you have.
2. Set up what the prompt expects: A folder of your app's screenshots.
3. Follow the prompt below. It is the creator's text, unedited.
4. To adapt it to a new subject or look: The request is short: point Claude at your own screenshot folder and ask it to "create an Apple style marketing video using screenshots from attached folder". For more control over the look, start from the longer prompt the creator posted (linked below) and fill in your brand color.

## How it was made, per the creator

- One-shot: no
- Notes: Made in a single Claude Cowork chat with access to the app's folder and a folder of screenshots, with no MCP servers or plugins. The creator described the cinematic style, told Claude to use any tools it had, and asked for a few changes to pacing and visuals. Claude planned the sequence, wrote the on-screen copy, and built the phone in three.js; it didn't use a phone model the creator had downloaded. In another comment the creator posted a longer prompt for this look as a starting point. It isn't the one they used, but another user made a launch film from it.
