## 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. Set up what the prompt expects: Your product's website, for logos, screenshots, and reels; Optional: real footage of your product in use.
3. Follow the prompt below. It is the creator's text, unedited.
4. To adapt it to a new subject or look: Replace "www.hovercast.events" with your product's site. The prompt is posted in Unicode italic letters; it closely follows @moritzkremb's plain-text SaaS launch prompt (linked below), with the "showreel for a resume" lines added at the end.
- Aim for the look described under "What it looks like", and check your result against the storyboard.

## What it looks like

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

A dark-mode launch film: bold two-line headlines with a cyan second line beside tilted screens of the product's studio, chat, and reminders, real livestream clips, a row of fundraising results, and the Hovercast Events logo.

- Color: Deep navy and indigo with a faint perspective grid, white headlines, cyan and periwinkle accents, and gold figures in the results row.
- Type: A heavy geometric sans for headlines with the second line in cyan or blue (A studio that runs the show., Reminders, handled., They take action., Clip your best moments for social.), one wavy word (boring), small UI labels with callout tags (Speakers on stage, Featured comments, Lower thirds + meters, Live chat + moderation), and large gold figures ($4M, $345K, Since 2020).
- Framing: 16:9 with headlines on the left and an app window tilted in 3D on the right, callout tags on thin leader lines, a phone clip at right, and a centered logo on the grid.
- Sound: A soundtrack synthesized in Python (drums, Rhodes, harp, strings, and vocal chops), according to the creator.
- Structure: Your supporters expect more than another boring Zoom call. over a faded video grid, the cyan logo mark in a burst of light, A studio that runs the show. with a labeled studio window, Reminders, handled. with notification cards and a LIVE National Run For Office Day screen, a live chat beside a stream (Let's hit this goal!), They take action. with an I WILL VOTE page, Clip your best moments for social. with a phone clip at 12.3K likes, Some of the largest political livestreams ran on Hovercast with three result cards, then the HOVERCAST EVENTS logo.

## How it was made, per the creator

- One-shot: no
- Agent time: One night
- Reported spend: About 95% of a week's usage on the Claude Pro plan, by the creator's count
- Notes: The creator lists the model as "Opus 5.5 Max" and says they used just Claude, with no other tools through OpenRouter. Claude took the logo, screenshots, and hero reel from the website, and the creator added clips from real events. The animation is HTML and GSAP, rendered frame by frame in a headless browser at 1080p60, and every sound (drums, Rhodes, harp, strings, vocal chops) was synthesized in Python. Five versions plus final tweaks came from plain-English notes such as "The music is a little cheesy, try something more like Four Tet or Burial." The creator caught motion problems, a stuttering source clip and a stray bump, which Claude fixed when pointed out. At the end it packaged the project with a README so the film can be rebuilt.
