10 animation style prompts for Claude Code

We flew one kite through these 10 worlds in a single reel, made with Claude Code and Remotion. Each prompt describes the technique behind a world, so you can use it for your own idea.

A kite flying over the Charminar in the Pixel Art style

1. Pixel Art

Chunky blocks and stepped motion, like an old video game.

Prompt

Make a 4-second 1080x1920 Remotion video of [your subject] moving through [your scene], drawn only with SVG and React. Use a pixel art style: build everything from square cells on a 12px grid with crisp edges, a small limited palette and banded sky colours. Update the motion only 10 times a second so it steps instead of gliding.

A kite flying over the Charminar in the Chalkboard style

2. Chalkboard

Chalk lines that draw themselves on a green board.

Prompt

Make a 4-second 1080x1920 Remotion video of [your subject] moving through [your scene], drawn only with SVG and React. Use a chalkboard style: a dark green board with soft smudges, a wooden ledge and chalk sticks at the bottom. Reveal every outline with animated stroke-dashoffset. Use feTurbulence and feDisplacementMap for a dusty chalk edge, and change the seed about 8 times a second so the lines shimmer.

A kite flying over the Charminar in the Neon Glow style

3. Neon Glow

Glowing outlines on a dark night with a retro sun.

Prompt

Make a 4-second 1080x1920 Remotion video of [your subject] moving through [your scene], drawn only with SVG and React. Use a neon style: a near-black purple sky with stars, a large striped sun on the horizon and a cyan perspective grid floor that scrolls towards the camera. Draw thin bright outlines and add glow by layering two Gaussian blurs behind each line. Let a few lines flicker.

A kite flying over the Charminar in the Comic Book style

4. Comic Book

Thick ink, halftone dots, sun rays and a big sound effect.

Prompt

Make a 4-second 1080x1920 Remotion video of [your subject] moving through [your scene], drawn only with SVG and React. Use a comic book style: thick black outlines, flat bold colours, halftone dot patterns made with SVG patterns, a rotating sunburst behind the subject and black speed lines. Pop in a jagged starburst holding one large sound word. Move at 12 frames a second and add a white panel border.

A kite flying over the Charminar in the Flat Vector style

5. Flat Vector

Clean shapes and bright colours with no outlines.

Prompt

Make a 4-second 1080x1920 Remotion video of [your subject] moving through [your scene], drawn only with SVG and React. Use a flat vector style: simple geometric shapes, solid bright colours and no outlines, with a soft half-shadow on buildings and trees. Scroll the layers at different speeds for depth, and add small moving details such as birds and traffic.

A kite flying over the Charminar in the Paper Cut style

6. Paper Cut

Stacked paper layers with real shadows and depth.

Prompt

Make a 4-second 1080x1920 Remotion video of [your subject] moving through [your scene], drawn only with SVG and React. Use a paper-cut style: build the scene from flat layers, each with its own soft drop shadow, plus a sunset sky of stacked paper circles. Add a light paper grain with feTurbulence. Move each layer at a different speed, on every second or third frame, for a handmade stop-motion feel.

A kite flying over the Charminar in the Watercolour style

7. Watercolour

Soft washes of paint bleeding over rough paper.

Prompt

Make a 4-second 1080x1920 Remotion video of [your subject] moving through [your scene], drawn only with SVG and React. Use a watercolour style: warm paper with a grain texture, large overlapping colour washes distorted with low-frequency feTurbulence and feDisplacementMap, and multiply blending so the colours mix. Fade the washes in as if the paint is spreading, add a few small splatters, and keep a thin pencil outline on top.

A kite flying over the Charminar in the Blueprint style

8. Blueprint

A technical drawing that plots itself line by line.

Prompt

Make a 4-second 1080x1920 Remotion video of [your subject] moving through [your scene], drawn only with SVG and React. Use a blueprint style: a deep blue sheet with a fine and a coarse grid, a white border and pale blue lines only. Reveal the drawing with stroke-dashoffset. Add dashed centre lines, construction circles, dimension marks, monospaced labels and a title block in the corner.

A kite flying over the Charminar in the Soft Clay style

9. Soft Clay

Round, squishy shapes that look like modelling clay.

Prompt

Make a 4-second 1080x1920 Remotion video of [your subject] moving through [your scene], drawn only with SVG and React. Use a soft clay style: pastel colours and very rounded shapes. Build one SVG filter that blurs the shape's alpha and passes it through feDiffuseLighting and feSpecularLighting so every flat shape looks puffy, then add a soft drop shadow. Move at 15 frames a second with a little squash and stretch.

A kite flying over the Charminar in the Warli Folk Art style

10. Warli Folk Art

White figures on red-brown earth, inspired by Warli painting.

Prompt

Make a 4-second 1080x1920 Remotion video of [your subject] moving through [your scene], drawn only with SVG and React. Use a style inspired by Warli painting from India: a textured red-brown mud background and only off-white shapes. Draw people from two triangles with stick limbs, and add triangle huts, a rayed sun, a triangle border and a circle of dancers. Move at 9 frames a second and add a slight brush wobble.

How to use them

  1. Open Claude Code in a new, empty folder.
  2. Copy a prompt and replace the two parts in square brackets with your own idea.
  3. Ask Claude Code to render the video, then describe any changes you want.
  4. To make a reel, ask for the same subject in several styles and join the clips with a wipe.

Your first result may need a few follow-up messages, and it will not match our reel exactly. Claude Code needs a Claude account, so check its current plans, and check Remotion's licence if you are making videos for a company.
