# Flight arc from San Francisco to Tokyo

> An 8-second dark world map where a glowing teal arc flies from San Francisco to Tokyo, the pin lands with a triple shockwave, and "LATENCY: 89ms" types on. The prompt restyles HyperFrames' nyc-paris-flight registry block.

## 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. Any capable coding agent should work.
2. Set up what the prompt expects: HyperFrames skills installed (npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes); The nyc-paris-flight registry block (npx hyperframes add nyc-paris-flight); The gallery's shared motion preamble, which you write yourself from the page's description.
3. Follow the prompt below. It is the creator's text, unedited.
4. To adapt it to a new subject or look: Swap the cities ("from San Francisco to Tokyo", "zooms into Tokyo") and the label "LATENCY: 89ms", and change "teal on charcoal" to your colors. Keep the spectacle beat sentence so the landing still gets its shockwave.
- Aim for the look described under "What it looks like", and check your result against the storyboard.

## Prompt

```text
/motion-graphics 8-second 1920x1080 video. Dark world map, a glowing arc animates from San Francisco to Tokyo over 3s, destination pin drops with a pulse, then camera zooms into Tokyo and the label "LATENCY: 89ms" types on. Use the `nyc-paris-flight` registry block as the base pattern, restyle to teal on charcoal. No narration. **Spectacle beat:** The destination pin's landing fires a triple concentric shockwave that expands past the label and fades, with a brief chromatic split on the pin.
```

## What it looks like

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

A dark map of the North Pacific with a glowing teal arc from San Francisco to Tokyo, a route card in the lower right, and a closer view of Tokyo with a small "LATENCY: 89ms" label.

- Color: Charcoal land and sea with faint grid lines and gray coastlines, white type, and one teal-green accent for the arc, pins, eyebrow and arrow. A magenta ring sits slightly off the teal rings at the Tokyo pin.
- Type: A heavy uppercase sans for "SAN FRANCISCO → TOKYO", a small spaced teal eyebrow ("TRANSPACIFIC ROUTE"), a plain sans for "8,270 km over the Pacific" and the city tag ("SFO / US-WEST"), and monospace for "LATENCY: 89ms". A tiny "Natural Earth / world-atlas" credit sits bottom left.
- Framing: A wide map with Japan at left and the US West Coast at right, the arc spanning the upper middle, and a dark rounded route card in the lower right. The closing frames are tighter on Japan, with the arc entering from the top right and the label beside the Tokyo pin.
- Structure: The empty map with the route card, the arc growing west from San Francisco, the arc reaching Tokyo, concentric rings around the Tokyo pin, then the closer view where "LATENCY: 89ms" fills in beside the pin.

## How it was made, per the creator

- One-shot: yes, a single prompt with no follow-ups
- Notes: The page says the video was "Rendered from the prompt above, unedited", but also that every gallery video was made by its prompt plus a shared preamble pasted above it. The preamble carries the motion rules (three depth layers, a camera that keeps moving, staggered entrances, an ambient idle at the end). The page describes it but doesn't publish it word for word, so the prompt here is only part of what was run. The render has no audio. The agent and model aren't named.
