Arch Explainer Video

What this is

A complete production workflow for turning one building into an 80-second vertical explainer film. Not theory. The actual prompts, in the order I run them, from a blank page to a finished MP4 with a call to action burned in.

What's inside

• The nine-beat structure that keeps people watching to the end
• 6 process prompts: finding the story, the script, the design system, the voiceover, the render, the CTA band
• 9 image prompts, one per beat, describing the exact frame you approve before anything moves
• 9 motion prompts, one per beat, describing what moves and when
• The full colour palette and type system, with hex values
• 10 annotated frames from a finished film so you can see what each prompt produces
• A failure list of the six things that ruin these films, and how to avoid each one
• An alternate route for anyone working with image and video generators instead

Who it's for

Architects, interior designers and studios who want their projects to travel further than a render. If you have drawings and a story about why the building is the way it is, you have everything you need.

What you need

A Claude subscription. That's the only paid tool. Everything else in the stack is free.

What you don't need

Any video editing experience. No After Effects, no Premiere, no motion graphics background. You will not open a design tool at any point.

Delivery

Instant download after payment. PDF, 17 pages. Every prompt uses placeholders like [BUILDING] and [CITY] so you drop your own project in without rewriting anything.

One honest note

This gives you the system, not a finished film. Your first one will take an afternoon. Your third will take an hour.
