Living ski mountain rescue dashboard
A 9:16 animated ski resort dashboard: a low-poly mountain runs itself under glass panels, a rescue plays out, then night skiing. Copy it into Claude.
A low-poly ski mountain runs in afternoon sun while frosted-glass panels spring in with live counts. The camera locks onto a rider leaving a chairlift, follows them down a red run past a skier who falls, then a patrol snowmobile fetches the casualty on a sled. Snow starts and floodlights switch on.
Change the dashboard and resort names, the patrol red, snow and pine colours, the two followed units and the run name. Set the final skier count, lift wait and fresh snow, or skip the night ending. The vertical frame suits Reels, TikTok, Shorts and resort app promos.

What happens, beat by beat
- 0.0 Wide on the whole mountain in low afternoon sun, everything already moving. Top bar springs in.
- 0.5 Three KPI cards spring in 80 ms apart; patrol tracker and lifts table rise from the bottom.
- 1.5 to 3.0 The glide drops onto the chairlift. A ring and floating label lock onto [rider name, e.g. Rider 4471]; a detail panel slides in from the right; the tab pill moves to Lifts.
- 5.0 The chair tops out, the rider slides off: Skiers on mountain rolls up to [skier count, e.g. 1,284].
- 6.0 The rider drops into [run name, e.g. Red 7 · Falcon]; tab to Runs. Speed, altitude, turn count and a speed sparkline update every frame.
- 9.0 A skier ahead catches an edge and tumbles (snow burst, skis fly off). Everyone after steers wide. Tracker: Reported.
- 12.0 The chair loads three from the queue: Lift wait rolls down to [wait, e.g. 4] min and the table re-sorts with a slide.
- 12.5 to 13.0 Rider hockey-stops into the queue; the ring releases and hands off to [second unit, e.g. Patrol 2] leaving the patrol hut. Dispatched; tab to Patrol.
- 17.0 Snowmobile stops above the casualty. On scene. The patroller walks over and kneels.
- 19.5 Assessed; the casualty is lifted onto the sled under a blanket.
Light
- Day: low warm sun from top-left at 28 degrees, cool hemisphere fill so shadows on snow go blue-grey, long pine shadows, PCF soft shadows from one 4096 map, ACES, no…
- Dusk (26.0 to 26.75): pink alpenglow sky and sun.
- Night (by 27.5): dim blue moonlight, sky #1C1A2E, warm #FFB45E point lights on each mast with emissive heads that overshoot as they switch on, #FFD27A windows. Bloom only at night.
- Snowfall: up to 9,000 soft sprite flakes in a box round the view, building from 25 to 28 s.
How the prompt opens
Make a 30-second, 9:16 (1080x1920), 30 fps Three.js film of a low-poly ski mountain that runs itself. One continuous camera glide follows a rider off a chairlift and down a red run past a skier who falls; a patrol snowmobile fetches the casualty on a sled; then snow starts and the mountain switches to floodlit night skiing. Frosted-glass dashboard panels count every step live. The brand is an invented example (e.g. a resort ops app called [your brand, e.g. Summit] for [your resort, e.g. Tarnhorn Ski Area]). Land every event on a 120 BPM grid (15 frames per beat); score with an upbeat ambient bed and real recorded ambience.
