Prompt

From the author's post

Adopt the role of an expert motion designer. Build a 30-second animated explainer for my business as a single HTML page. 5 scenes. The customer's problem, what I do, how it works in 3 steps, one proof point, and my name at the end. Bold text, smooth transitions, my brand colours.

How it was made

Per the author, Claude Opus 5.5 creates the explainer from one text prompt as a single HTML page. Claude plays the result in the chat, and the author screen-records that playback to get a video. Revisions are made by giving notes one at a time, such as "Slower," "More energy," or "Add a scene about pricing." No camera or editor is used. The author shares no render time, cost, or aspect ratio.

Why it works

The prompt sets a role (expert motion designer), a total length (30 seconds), and a scene count (5), which gives the model a clear structure to build from.
The scene order follows a problem-to-solution flow: problem, offer, process in 3 steps, proof, then sign-off.
Visual direction is stated directly: bold text, smooth transitions, and the brand's colours.
The author refines the result with short, single-note revisions (pacing and added scenes) rather than rewriting the whole prompt.
