OUR NOTEA two-minute sand-animation-style film retelling 250 years of U.S. history, its sepia grain visible in scenes like the Wright Flyer's silhouette for "1903: First Flight"; built from one unmodified prompt, with music and sound.

THE CREATOR'S POST

Opus 5.5，太牛逼了，我完完全全服。就一句简简单单的 prompt，其他什么都不需要。不用 Blender，不用 Three.js，Opus 5.5 自己就做出了这么精美的沙画动画，连配音和音效都自己搞定了。一个 prompt 到底，没有任何修改。请欣赏。提示词放在👇。

THE PROMPT

Single-paragraph content brief

Make a 2-minute sand animation that tells the story of 250 years of U.S. history. Keep it lively, engaging, and tasteful. Add appropriate background music and sound design.

MAKE ONE LIKE THIS

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 · Long piece? Give Claude a framework
ALL VIDEO SKILLS →
3 · Render it to MP4
For a longer piece like this one, render with a framework so the timing is exact on every take.
CLAUDE CODE + HYPERFRAMES / REMOTION →

HOW IT WAS MADE

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.
