OUR NOTEA screen recording of 'The Shape of a Bond', an interactive chemistry simulator that renders glowing orbital surfaces for H2, N2, methane and benzene with bond-length sliders, energy curves and orbital diagrams, built in about 20 minutes.
Opus 5.5 generated this simulation of molecular orbitals in about ~20 minutes. I had to prompt for some structures and resonance but I can see the promise of instant educational simulations for any advanced topicTHE PROMPT
Partial prompt — the creator shared only part of it.

Three steps, using what the creators in this index used.- 1 · Copy the prompt
Use the prompt above as your starting point, then change the subject and the style.
HOW OTHERS WROTE THEIRS → - 2 · Direct it like an editor
- Ask for one self-contained HTML file on a fixed 1920×1080 stage.
- Link this video as the reference for pacing and style.
- Send two or three rounds of specific notes.
- 3 · Render it to MP4
A short piece like this can be screen-recorded, or captured frame by frame for exact timing.

The creator didn't name their tools. Most videos like this are HTML, canvas or SVG animation written by Claude and screen-recorded or rendered to MP4 — how that works.
