Motion Showreel

motion-showreel

Design and build a 10-30 second motion-design showreel or brand reel in the style of Nate's Opus 5.5 "CLAUDE / MOTION REEL": one brand motif transformed through labeled craft chapters, a persistent HUD, cuts locked to a 120-130 BPM grid, a sub-second flurry, and a held logo lockup that answers the opening. Use when asked for a showreel, sizzle reel, brand reel, motion reel, "a reel like the Opus one", "show off motion design for <brand>", a 15-second brand film cut to music, or to study why a reference reel works and rebuild that energy for another brand.

Install

Run this in your project folder. It works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and dozens of other agents.

$ npx skills add nateherkai/herk-edit-kit --skill motion-showreel

Needs Node.js. Add -g to install for every project, or -a claude-code to skip the agent picker.

How to use Motion Showreel

Once it's installed, Claude reads this skill on its own whenever a request matches what it's for, so you don't have to mention it by name. In Claude Code you can also run it directly by typing /motion-showreel.

It includes scripts that Claude may run on your computer, so skim them on GitHub before you install.
