# Pixel-block logo built by four cursors

> A square brand animation in which four colored cursors fly in, line up, and build the pixel-block words SHILIU and VIBEKNOW block by block, like collaborators editing at once, before "coming soon" types in. Made with Claude Code, Opus 4.6, and Remotion skills.

## 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. Work in Claude Code with Claude Opus 4.6, or the closest equivalent you have.
2. Set up what the prompt expects: A Remotion project with Remotion's agent skills (the prompt opens with "use remotion skills").
3. Follow the prompt below. It is the creator's text, unedited.
4. To adapt it to a new subject or look: Change the two text lines ("SHILIU" and "VIBEKNOW") and "coming soon" to your own words, and edit the "Color variant" line for a different palette. The "Timeline" list sets the timing of each beat.
- Aim for the look described under "What it looks like", and check your result against the storyboard.

## Prompt

```text
use remotion skills Create a 1080×1080 brand animation video, 8 seconds, black background.                                                              
                                                                                                                                    
  Core effect: Pixel block text-building animation. 4 colored cursors (purple, blue, pink, indigo) fly in from off-screen, scatter to 
  four corners, line up on the left side, then each cursor "builds" its assigned section of pixel text — blocks light up one by one as
   the cursor passes over them, like multiple people collaboratively editing code in real-time.                                       
                                                                                                                                    
  Text: Line 1 "SHILIU", Line 2 "VIBEKNOW" 

  Block style: 20px squares with 3D layered depth effect — dark purple base with concentric inset borders creating an
  embossed/recessed look.

  Timeline:
  - 0–0.4s: First cursor enters from top-left
  - 0.4–0.9s: 4 cursors scatter to different positions
  - 0.9–1.6s: Cursors line up on the left side
  - 1.6–5.0s: Cursors split up and build the pixel text simultaneously
  - 5.0–5.8s: Subtitle "coming soon" types in at the bottom
  - 5.5–8.0s: Cursors float away to the top, gently bobbing

  Color variant: Red edition (replace purple block palette with red tones)
```

## What it looks like

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

Two words in chunky red pixel blocks on pure black, assembled by four small cursor arrows, with "coming soon" beneath.

- Color: Black, brick-red blocks with darker red bevels, cursor arrows in lilac, sky blue, pink, and indigo, and white subtitle text.
- Type: A blocky pixel font built from embossed squares for SHILIU and VIBEKNOW, and a small white monospace "coming soon".
- Framing: A square frame with the two-line wordmark centered in a lot of black. The cursors sit top left in the first frame, along the rows of blocks in the middle frames, and in a loose row above the text at the end.
- Structure: Three cursors at top left on black, all four cursors on the left beside the first few blocks, scattered rows of red blocks, half-built letters, SHILIU complete and VIBEKNOW still filling in, with cursors on the blocks, then the finished wordmark with "coming soon" and the cursors above, held to the end.
