A 15-second motion showreel in navy and coral: easing curves, kinetic type, a grid and a frame counter, all drawn in code.

## How it was made

Tools: Claude Opus 5.5

Prompt: 619 words, shown to signed-in members on the page, free with an account.

### Process

Claude Opus 5.5 wrote the animation as a single HTML file, 450 frames at 30 frames a second, with no footage and no After Effects.

The creator's own prompt was one sentence: "Make a dynamic 15-second motion graphics video that shows what an incredible motion designer you are. Go all out." The prompt shown here was written afterwards from the finished clip, so it describes what is on screen.

The creator wrote up how to make it follow a brand: https://charliehills.substack.com/p/claude-code-motion-graphics
