# Joy-Cons snap onto an SVG Switch and boot

> A 7-second SVG animation from a one-sentence prompt: Joy-Cons snap onto a Nintendo Switch and the screen boots to the logo. The creator reran the prompt from their Gemini 4 Pro test on Claude Opus 5.5 at max effort, using 27% of a session on the $20 plan.

## 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. Follow the prompt below. It is the creator's text, unedited.
3. To adapt it to a new subject or look: Replace "a Nintendo Switch" and its two moments ("the controllers getting snapped into the console", "the screen booting up with the logo") with your own device and its moments.
- Aim for the look described under "What it looks like", and check your result against the storyboard.

## Prompt

```text
Create an SVG of a Nintendo Switch, with an animation of the controllers getting snapped into the console, and the screen booting up with the logo
```

## What it looks like

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

A clean SVG product shot: a black Nintendo Switch on a pale gray backdrop, its blue and red Joy-Cons dropping onto the sides, and the screen turning red to show the Nintendo Switch logo.

- Color: Pale gray gradient backdrop, glossy black console, neon blue and neon red Joy-Cons, and a bright red boot screen with a soft red glow on the floor.
- Type: Only on the boot screen: the white Switch logo mark over a small caps wordmark, NINTENDO SWITCH.
- Framing: 16:9 with the console centered on a soft floor shadow. It starts small and fills more of the frame once both Joy-Cons are attached.
- Structure: The bare console, both Joy-Cons above it, the left one snapping on with small click marks, both attached, a closer view, the screen filling red as the logo draws in, then the finished logo held.

## How it was made, per the creator

- Reported spend: 27% of a session limit on the $20 plan, at max reasoning
- Notes: A rerun, a week later, of the prompt from the creator's Gemini 4 Pro vs. Opus 5 post, which this post quotes. Asked whether that was really the whole prompt, the creator answered "That is the prompt". The creator agreed with a reply that preferred Gemini's version and said the controller sizing looks slightly off in this one.
