Two Prompts, One Showreel: Claude Code Makes a Full Motion Graphics Video
tristanbob · x · 2026-09-26
The author used Claude Code with Opus 5.5 High to produce a 15-second motion graphics video for Weber State University with just two prompts:
- The first prompt told Claude to go all out like a résumé showreel; Claude autonomously researched the university's brand, history, and stats.
- The second pointed out pacing was too fast to read and the music lacked development; Claude iterated accordingly.
The author noticed Claude used outdated university stats and plans a third correction prompt, inviting further improvement suggestions.
