In short

A 15-second motion graphics showreel, according to the prompt's length, meant to look like a standout motion designer portfolio opener. The author says it was built as code in Opus 5.5 (max effort) with no image, video, audio or music generators. A second version uses the author's own brand kit. Aspect ratio is not stated.

Prompt

From the author's post

Create a bold, dynamic 15-second motion graphics showreel that feels like the ultimate portfolio piece of an exceptionally talented motion designer. Showcase a wide range of advanced techniques: kinetic typography, smooth transitions, 2D and 3D animation, abstract geometry, fluid simulations, particles, distortion, creative masking, compositing, lighting, depth, and seamless camera movement. Keep the pacing fast, confident, and visually surprising, with every shot transitioning naturally into the next. Make it feel meticulously art-directed rather than like a random collection of effects. Push the creativity, polish, timing, and visual impact as far as possible. This should feel like the opening reel that gets a motion designer hired.

How it was made

The author says the video is code written in Opus 5.5 (max effort) and that no image, video, audio or music generators were used. They also made a second video with their own brand kit, and the first video has no brand. The full prompt is shared. No other tools, render steps, time or cost are stated.

Tools: Claude Opus
Effort: Author states Claude Opus 5.5 at max effort; no image, video or audio generators used.

Why it works

The prompt sets fast, confident pacing with every shot flowing into the next, so the reel reads as one continuous piece.
It asks for a wide mix of techniques (kinetic type, 2D/3D, particles, distortion, masking, lighting, camera moves), framed as a single art-directed look rather than a pile of effects.
The prompt names a clear goal, an opening reel that gets a motion designer hired, which gives the piece a focused brief.
The second version swaps in a brand kit, showing the same prompt can be reused with a client's identity.
