Prompt

Build this in Layerz Canvas using the layerz-canvas MCP.

Make a 30-second showreel, 1920×1080 at 60fps, in which Claude acts as a small branding studio for startup founders and builds five invented identities from scratch in Layerz Canvas. Every brand is fictional and drawn here — no real companies.

Look: studio white #F6F5F1 base, ink #141414, and each brand brings its own two-colour palette. Studio type: SF Pro Display Bold, tight tracking. A small header in the top-left stays on screen the whole time: "Claude — Brand Studio" with a pulsing violet #7C5CFF dot when Claude is "working".

Beats:
- 0.0–3.0s A blank grid of 12 columns draws on with thin grey lines. "Brands for founders." types in large, then slides up and out.
- 3.0–23.0s Five 4-second case studies. Each one follows the same rhythm so the viewer learns it:
  1) a one-word brief appears (e.g. "fast", "calm", "loud", "precise", "warm"),
  2) a mark is built from primitive shapes on the grid — circles snapping together, a square rotating 45°, a stroke drawing on,
  3) the mark morphs into its final form and the wordmark types beside it,
  4) the palette swatches drop in below and the background floods with the brand's main colour,
  5) quick mock applications slide past: a business card, an app icon, a poster.
  Brands: "Volt" (#FFE600/#111), "Stillwater" (#BFD8D2/#2F4F4F), "HONK" (#FF3D7F/#1B1B1B), "Gauge" (#E8E8E8/#0047FF), "Ember" (#FF7A3D/#2B1A12).
- 23.0–27.0s All five marks shrink into a 5-tile contact sheet; tiles flip in 2.5D one after another, revealing the brief words on their backs.
- 27.0–30.0s Tiles fold away; centred end card: "Designed by Claude in Layerz Canvas", small chevron mark beside it.

Camera: a gentle push during each build, a fast lateral push transition between brands.

Craft notes: each mark must be geometrically different; the brief word always predicts the motion style (fast = snappy, calm = slow eases, loud = overshoot); never show a mark half-finished at a cut.

Edit it yourself

  • Change colours, text and type in the inspector.
  • Drag keyframes, reshape easing curves and retime any move.
  • Ask Claude for changes through the MCP, then fine-tune by hand.
  • Export it as an image, a video, Lottie or a web page like this one.
