Traffic light figures clock off
A 3D traffic light animation: LED figures dance, swap lamps and switch off, then type your headline. Copy the prompt into Claude and edit it.
A photoreal three-lamp pedestrian signal stands in a neon-lit night studio. The LED figures in the red, amber and green lamps stretch, dance and climb down between the housings, bounce on the green lamp's ground line, swap lamps and wave. Then they switch off one by one. Last, your headline types itself across the lamps in light.
Edit the headline, the LED colours of the stop, wait and walk lamps, and the left and right neon rim lights by asking Claude. The 1080x1920 portrait format suits TikTok, Reels and Shorts, and a 25-second run works as a title sting or a playful end-of-shift post.

What happens, beat by beat
- 0-0.6 s: tight on red, caught mid-yawn. Neck crack, a relay blink, snaps to attention.
- 0.6-2.2 s: pull out to the full stack. Green walks in place, then freezes mid-stride. All lamps blink. Red looks left and right.
- 3.2-5.4 s: red stretches (squash, arms up, lean left, lean right). Amber copies a little. Slow 8-degree orbit begins.
- 5.4-7.6 s: red does four jumping jacks; amber joins for the last two, then sags.
- 7.6-9.2 s: red does four disco points; green nods along.
- 9.2-11.9 s: push in. Red sits on its bottom edge, legs stretch down through the gap into amber and kick. Amber jumps, grabs the feet and backs away; the legs stretch like taffy.
- 11.9-12.7 s: red lets go and lands lying across amber's arms. Two juggles.
- 12.7-15.3 s: red falls into green; the camera whips down with motion blur and jolts on landing. Bounce one: head and cap pop up into amber's floor and hang four steps while amber flinches. Bounce two…
- 15.3-17.5 s: green walks off the left edge and re-enters from the right while red leapfrogs it.
- 17.6-19.9 s: full stack shuffle. Red super-jumps back to the top lamp (amber ducks), amber and green swap lamps and swap back, all three hop together.
Camera
- Orbit rig (distance, yaw, pitch, height), 28-degree lens. Distance runs from 106 cm (hook) to 250 cm (full stack), yaw -9 to -23 degrees so the hoods show depth. Layer…
- For the whip, compare camera height half a frame back (180-degree shutter) and run a 24-tap vertical blur only when the smear exceeds 1.5 px.
How the prompt opens
Make a 25-second, 9:16 (1080x1920, 30 fps) Three.js film. A photoreal three-lamp pedestrian signal stands in a neon-lit night studio. At the end of their shift the LED figures in the red, amber and green lamps break the rules: they stretch, dance, climb down through the gaps between housings, bounce on the green lamp's ground line, swap lamps, wave and switch themselves off one by one. Then [your headline, e.g. "Time to clock off"] types itself across the three lamps in their own LEDs. Swap in your own words and colours.
