Make the launch video for Sonnet 5.5

A 30 to 60 second launch video for Sonnet 5.5 built from Anthropic's launch page, following my public launch-video skill.

The prompt

Make the launch video for Claude Sonnet 5.5, and make it as beautiful as possible.

Context you should know: this is going into a video watched by a large audience. Your launch video is played on screen next to three other frontier models given this identical prompt.

The comparison is blind. Never put your model name, your company's name, or any mention of which AI made it anywhere in what you build: not in on-screen text, credits, the page title, file names, code comments, or metadata. Sonnet 5.5 and Anthropic appear in the video itself because they are its subject; that is the only exception.

**Follow the skill.** Clone https://github.com/per-simmons/launch-video-clone and read its SKILL.md first. Use its **Original mode**: there is no reference video to copy. Pick the category that fits, take timing numbers from donors, write the script, storyboard, build in HyperFrames, render, review and fix, following every step and the motion rules in references/motion-feel.md.

**The source.** Everything the video says comes from Anthropic's launch page: https://www.anthropic.com/claude-sonnet-5-5. Real claims, real numbers, real product names. Never invent a feature or a stat.

Requirements:

1. **No generic AI-video look.** No glassmorphism or frosted-glass panels, no floating cards sliding in from below, no gradient blobs, no default fonts, and none of the stock HyperFrames or Remotion look. If a shot could come from any AI launch video, redo it.
2. **Real craft.** Considered typography, deliberate easing that differs per element, hold times long enough to read, camera moves with intent, and a clear rhythm cut to the music.
3. **Use every tool that makes it better:** HyperFrames, code-drawn motion graphics and shaders, generated imagery (an image generator is provided), 3D if it helps, and a soundtrack plus sound design made with ElevenLabs.
4. **Length 30 to 60 seconds, 1920x1080, 30 or 60 fps**, with sound.
5. **Deliver** `final.mp4` in this folder, the HyperFrames project that renders it, and the storyboard stills.

DONE when: final.mp4 renders from the project, plays start to finish with sound, every claim in it matches the launch page, and a review pass finds no shot that looks like a generic AI launch video.
