Electric seaplane midnight launch
A 60-second 16:9 product launch film of an electric seaplane in a black studio, from X-ray to take-off. Copy the prompt into Claude and make it yours.
A black-carbon seaplane appears in a dark studio through a quick montage of heat-map, X-ray and thermal looks. Slow macros cross the carbon and a bronze trim line while the name rises behind it. Cyan air bends over the wing, a glass wipe reveals the batteries, a system diagram follows, then it takes off over a night sea.
Edit the two-word product name, maker, opening line and the claims, including the battery line that builds letter by letter. Change both stats and the diagram title and subtitle. Widescreen at 60 seconds suits launch events, YouTube, landing page heroes and investor decks.

What happens, beat by beat
- 0-5.25 s, flash montage, 21 shots of 1-3 sixteenths: heat-map silhouette (the first frame), X-ray with skin points blowing off aft, motor close-ups (box matrix, dashed selection frame), a chart panel drawing on, clay with a…
- 5.25-12.75 s, macros: a bead of light running the bronze waist line (20 degree lens, shallow focus); spinner collar from below as [opening line] sweeps in; a polished leading-edge seam; the aircraft alone on black.
- 12.75-24 s: the giant name rises behind her; winglet macro rolled 6 degrees; airflow from above the wing as eight props spin up; wingtip vortices from above and astern; float macro.
- 24-30 s, batteries: glass wipe tip to tip over 2.25 s; thermal flash; cells as charge climbs; float-pack cutaway, bus bars drawing up to each motor in turn while [claim 1] builds letter by letter.
- 30-36.4 s: top-down on eight blur discs and cyan streams with [claim 2, two lines]; prop macro with [big claim] standing in space; fin macro.
- 36.4-43.5 s, blue hour: navy sky, one ember afterglow, black gloss water mirroring her; stats [640 km / Range on one charge] and [22 min / Dock charge to 80%]; glass aircraft with charge lines drawing…
- 43.5-48.4 s, system diagram in 2D: core ring [Flight Core], hub [Energy router], four nodes [Wing packs, Float packs, Eight motors, Shore charge] with notes. A 2D camera tracks the lines as they draw, then pulls…
- 48.4-55.9 s, take-off: radar ring on the sea from 36 m up, red [Traffic ahead] turning cyan [Clear to fly]; on the step at water level; lift-off seen low and astern with [closing line].
- 55.9-60 s, end card on a faint navy glow: name, bronze rule, [tagline], then the maker mark alone, slow scale drift to the last frame.
X-ray, heat and data looks
- Every solid has an additive fresnel twin. Ribs, spars, cell packs, stators with ember windings and bus bars exist only in X-ray. One gain per shot.
- Glass wipe: a world plane clips solids on one side and twins on the other, with a bright edge riding it.
- Heat-map: draw the aircraft white on black into a multisampled mask; a domain-warped noise field flows round it, laminar upstream, curling wake behind, a bright rim where flow meets the…
- Look pass after tone mapping: box matrix (the frame redrawn as hollow boxes sized by luminance), thermal palette (black, violet, magenta, orange, white), hard row smear, invert, vignette, 2% grain.
- HUD on a 2D canvas, no text: small boxes pinned to projected skin points with leader lines, flickering every 3 frames.
What you can change
- Expose every line, stat, label and colour as a variable. Swap the aircraft for [your vehicle or product] and keep the cut list. GLSL safety…
How the prompt opens
Make a 60-second, 16:9 (1920x1080, 24 fps) product launch film in Three.js, cut to an 80 BPM music bed with recorded wind, motor whine and spray. A black-carbon electric seaplane is revealed in a dark studio: a flash montage of heat-map, X-ray, data-box and thermal looks, slow macros over carbon and a bronze trim line, its giant name rising behind it, cyan air over a blown wing, a glass wipe that turns the wing to X-ray to show its batteries, a system diagram, and a take-off run inside a radar ring on a stylised night sea. The aircraft and copy are invented examples (e.g. a seaplane called Selkie Eight from a maker called Tidewright Aero): swap in [your product name…
