Our note
A 40-second explainer for the product Distilbook, opening on a dust-lit, cinematic shot of an old physics manuscript page. The creator says the score was composed in the style of Oppenheimer's soundtrack, from one prompt.
The creator’s post
OMG .. I asked Claude OPUS 5.5 to use the Oppenheimer score to explain what http://distilbook.com is. And here is the output. Prompt: “Make a dynamic 40-second motion graphics video on Distilbook that shows what an incredible motion designer you are, like it's your showreel - go all out. Use the Oppenheimer theme music as inspiration, but compose it yourself.”
