Prompt template for a 15s HyperFrames motion-graphics launch video made with Opus with Claude Opus

Originally posted by @ik_builds on X · posted Sep 26, 2026 · curated by MotionHunt, updated Oct 16, 2026

In short

A 15-second motion-graphics launch film with no voiceover and no footage, made from one prompt that the author says one-shots it. The author says they asked Opus 5.5 (medium) to build it in HyperFrames and GSAP, with a paper-light style, kinetic type, and music-synced hits. The product name and final render are not shown in the text.

Prompt

From the author's post

Create a 15s motion-graphics film explaining {{PRODUCT}}. HyperFrames + GSAP, no voiceover, no footage.
Style: paper-light canvas, marker notes that draw on, real physics, huge kinetic type,
hard light/dark switches, a new idea every 1.5–2 s, a sound on every hit.

COPY: read {{POSITIONING_DOCS}} first. {{ONE_LINER}} For {{AUDIENCE}}. {{WHAT_IT_DOES}}
Name what the product learns, never the abstraction.

RULES
- No chrome (scrubber, timecode, fps, headers). No animator jargon on screen
  ("squash", "stagger", "easing"...). Every word speaks to the buyer.
- No invented results: no %, multipliers, customer names or figures.
- Never use: {{BANNED_WORDS}}.
- Logo: real mark {{LOGO_FILE}} + "{{PRODUCT}}" in {{WORDMARK_FONT}}; never a boxed logo file.

CRAFT
- Colours {{COLOR_CANVAS}} / {{COLOR_INK}} / {{COLOR_ACCENT_1}} / {{COLOR_ACCENT_2}}; notes in the
  accents; dark mode = charcoal matching the palette.
- Fonts {{BRAND_FONTS}}; Anton for kinetic type; Caveat handwriting via stroke-dashoffset.
- Real easing, squash/stretch, stagger, overlap, onion skin, smear, follow-through. Check the
  HyperFrames registry first. Set every from-state at t=0 (seek-safe); never cover an exit.
  One primary move per transition; no generic push/slide/rotate-swing.
- Music in sections: drums drop on the dark switch and while the ball is airborne, slam back
  on the type and the logo. SFX: pops, pen scribbles, whooshes, logo sub-hit. CC0 or generated
  only; log sources. Master -14 LUFS, -2 dBTP, re-measured after AAC encode.

How it was made

The author says they asked Opus 5.5 (medium) to create the video from a single prompt, which specifies HyperFrames and GSAP as the build tools. The prompt also calls for music and sound effects from CC0 or generated sources, with sources logged, and a loudness master of -14 LUFS and -2 dBTP. The author did not confirm how these audio targets were met, and did not share timing or cost details.

Tools: Claude Opus, HyperFrames
Effort: One-shot generation with Opus 5.5 at medium effort, per the author

Shot breakdown

0:00-0:15Full film as specified by the prompt: a 15s motion-graphics explainer on a paper-light canvas, with marker notes that draw on and a new idea every 1.5-2 s. Hard light/dark switches separate sections.
Not statedDark-mode sections in charcoal matching the palette, where drums drop on the switch and while the ball is airborne.
Not statedHuge Anton kinetic type and Caveat handwriting drawn via stroke-dashoffset, with drums slamming back on the type.
Not statedLogo beat: the real mark plus the product wordmark in the brand font, with a logo sub-hit sound. Placement in the timeline is not stated.

Breakdown written by AI from the prompt and post, reviewed by MotionHunt.

Why it works

The prompt sets pacing with a new idea every 1.5-2 s, which keeps a 15-second runtime moving through many beats.
Hard light/dark switches are tied to music drops, so audio and visual changes reinforce each other.
Handwritten marker notes drawn on with stroke-dashoffset contrast with huge Anton type, mixing hand-made and bold display styles.
Copy rules (no on-screen chrome, no animator jargon, no invented figures or customer names) keep every word speaking to the buyer.

Remix it for your product

Create a 15s motion-graphics film explaining [PRODUCT]. HyperFrames + GSAP, no voiceover, no footage. Style: paper-light canvas, marker notes that draw on, real physics, huge kinetic type, hard light/dark switches, a new idea every 1.5-2 s, a sound on every hit. COPY: read the brand's positioning docs first. State the one-liner for the target audience, then explain [FEATURES]. Name what the product learns, never the abstraction. RULES: No chrome (scrubber, timecode, fps, headers). No animator jargon on screen (squash, stagger, easing). Every word speaks to the buyer. No invented results: no percentages, multipliers, customer names or figures. Avoid any banned words listed by the brand. Logo: the real mark file plus the product name in the brand wordmark font; never a boxed logo file. CRAFT: Use the brand's canvas, ink, and two accent colours; notes in the accents; dark mode is charcoal matching the palette. Use the brand fonts; Anton for kinetic type; a handwriting font drawn via stroke-dashoffset. Use real easing, squash/stretch, stagger, overlap, onion skin, smear, and follow-through. Check the HyperFrames registry first. Set every from-state at t=0 (seek-safe); never cover an exit. One primary move per transition; no generic push, slide, or rotate-swing. MUSIC: In sections, drums drop on the dark switch and while the ball is airborne, and slam back on the type and the logo. SFX: pops, pen scribbles, whooshes, logo sub-hit. Use CC0 or generated audio only and log sources. Master at -14 LUFS, -2 dBTP, re-measured after AAC encode.
