Toy-brick townhouse builds itself
A red toy brick slides, leaps and a canal house snaps together around it. Copy this toy brick build animation into Claude, swap the brand, and render the MP4.
A single red 2x4 brick slides across a sunlit oak floor, brakes, rocks and leaps in a somersault onto a green baseplate. Garden tiles, hedges and facade bricks snap into place around it. The camera then pulls back to show the finished townhouse beside a velvet sofa, and the product box slides in.
Change the brand name on the studs and box, the parts count and the word after it, plus the hero brick, door, flowers and box band colours. Facade bricks, shutters and planters can be restyled too. The 9:16 frame suits TikTok, Reels and Shorts toy or product teasers.

What happens, beat by beat
- 0 to 1.5 s, hook. Camera 4 cm off the floor, 17 cm away, slow push-in, focus on the brick. It enters fast from the right, friction-brakes to a stop at 1.2 s, tips onto its…
- 1.5 to 2.35 s, leap. A parabola with one full somersault onto the doorstep spot, then a tiny bounce. Four green 12x12 baseplates slap down under it. The camera cranes up and back, its look-at riding…
- 2.4 to 4.9 s, garden in bursts. Path tiles fly in from behind the camera, then edging, hedges with flower studs, flower beds popping outward from the path, a round tree of stacked round plates, a…
- 5.15 to 10.35 s, facade. A 16-stud-wide house rises one course every 0.15 s in running bond: plinth, a ground floor with door and two windows, a white cornice, two upper storeys of three bays, then…
- ~10.4 to 11.6 s, tag. A white pill pops above the pediment: a tiny brick icon, a number counting up from 92% to [your count, e.g. 412], then [your word, e.g. pieces]. Small pop on landing…
- 11 to 14 s, reveal. Pull back to the house on the floor, bright French window behind, sofa at the right edge. The box slides in from the right (11.85 to 12.45 s) just like the…
Light it like late afternoon through a window
- One shadowed directional sun, low, from a big French window behind and left of the house, travelling toward the camera so stud edges and brick tops get a rim and…
- Window cookie in every lit shader. Patch the sun light so each point is traced back to the window plane: soft mullions, sheer curtain folds and drifting leaf dapple. The…
- Fill from a warm PMREM room (bright window, sunlit wall, a tall softbox strip for a gloss line down every front face), plus a front bounce light scaled per material…
- Plastic: physical material, roughness 0.28, clearcoat 0.45, plus a pigment-tinted scatter term for that ABS glow.
- Floor: procedural herringbone oak in the shader (analytic tiling, per-plank tone, ring grain, pores, dark bevelled seams) with a planar reflection: the world rendered mirrored into a mipped half-res target…
What you can change
- Expose brand, count, count word and the three colours as composition variables. Draw the box art on a canvas from them: sunset sky, a flat…
How the prompt opens
Make a silent 14-second, 9:16 (1080x1920), 30 fps macro product film in Three.js. A single red 2x4 toy brick slides across a sunlit herringbone oak floor, stops dead, leaps, and a canal house with a garden snaps together around it brick by brick. The camera pulls back to show the finished model on a living-room floor beside a green velvet sofa, and the product box slides in. The bricks carry an invented brand (e.g. a toy brand called BLOKKA): make it [your brand name] on the studs and box art. Never use a real toy brand.
