## 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: A repo with your company's assets and about-page copy.
3. Follow the prompt below. It is the creator's text, unedited.
4. To adapt it to a new subject or look: Replace "will explain the same story as our “about-us” page" with your own story and "whimsical hand drawn collage style" with another look. "Use assets from our repo when possible" lets it reuse your images.
- Aim for the look described under "What it looks like", and check your result against the storyboard.

## Prompt

```text
Create a pure javascript animation. 30s-60s whimsical hand drawn collage style with appropriate audio that will explain the same story as our “about-us” page. Use assets from our repo when possible.
```

## How it was made, per the creator

- Notes: Run on Opus 5.5 at medium effort; the creator says they didn't check the setting and wonders what max would do. The prompt points the model at the company's about-us page and the assets in its repo.
