An open-ended motion piece where Opus picked its own subject: 'One Second, a Field Guide,' showing light circling a glowing Earth 7.5 times per second with HUD readouts and a timeline.
The creator’s post
With everyone sharing Opus 5.5 made motion graphics animation - I had to give it a try. It really is THAT GOOD! I gave Claude zero direction - I just told it to destroy Astra. Here’s the prompt: “Please do not reference any previous memories or skills. I've been seeing all of these motion graphics examples on X of people making cool videos with opus 5.5. So - I want you to just show off for me. You pick the design style, the look, subject etc. I just want to be extremely impressed by the motion graphic video that you create. I want you to destroy GPT 6 when it comes to motion graphics video - because astra just wants to give me a stupid glorified powerpoint presentation.” Opus 5.5 High effort
