Apple-style vertical film from screenshots
A 31-second vertical Apple-style film for the creator's car-maintenance app, Maintra: a 3D phone in a black void shows real app screenshots. Claude built it in three.js in one Cowork chat from a screenshot folder, a short request, and a few notes.
“everything was built by code in a single cowork chat, I didn’t connect any MCP to it even”
"Really simple one, just asked to use whatever tools Claude has on board to create an Apple style marketing video using screenshots from attached folder"
Make it yours. 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.
You'll need
- A folder of your app's screenshots
How it was made
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.
