Turn three dance clips into a 15-second motion graphics showreel
A three-step chain of pose images, short dance clips, and an Opus 5.5 edit, driven by a prompt framed as a résumé showreel.
The Japanese creator AbaneChan shared a short workflow on X for a 15-second motion graphics video built around their character. The poses come from an image model, the movement from a video model, and the final motion design from Claude Opus 5.5 working with the clips.
The prompt adapts one posted by @shneural, who gave Opus 5.5 and GPT 6 Astra the same request and preferred the Opus result. That comparison is one person’s impression from a single prompt, not a benchmark.
The three steps
First, generate three key dance poses as still images with GPT sol. Second, turn them into three six-second dance clips with Grok. Third, give all three clips to Opus 5.5 and ask for a 15-second motion graphics video with the character’s name as its title.
Why the prompt works
Instead of listing effects, the request asks the model to show how good a motion designer it is, as if making the showreel it would attach to a résumé, and to hold nothing back. Stating the purpose tells the model who the audience is and what quality bar to aim for. A reply to the post singled out that one line of purpose as the part doing the work.
Copy the prompt
An English version in our own words. Replace the title.
From the three attached dance clips, make a 15-second motion graphics piece that demonstrates everything you can do as a motion designer. Think of it as the reel you would send with a job application, and push it as far as you can. Title: [title].
What to check
Short generated clips can drift in costume details, hands, or faces from shot to shot. Review each clip before handing them over, and cut anything off-model. Use a character you own or have permission to use.
