Claude Design Full Pipeline: From Inspiration to a Cinematic Website

This is the full pipeline I use to go from "just browsing animations" to "a cinematic-level website."

Step 1: Find Inspiration on Pinterest

Hunt for the animation style or visual inspiration you like on Pinterest. Save the few that hit you hardest.

Step 2: Use AI to Generate Background and Character

Paste the Pinterest image into your AI tool of choice, with these prompts:

Prompt 1 (background):

Create a background just like this. It should be abstract since this is the background for my desktop wallpaper.

Prompt 2 (character):

Create a character just like this, expand so their full height is visible.

Step 3: Animate with Seedance 2.0

Take the generated image to Seedance 2.0 on Doubao (小云雀). Prompt:

Animate this, no camera movement, no extra elements to be added, no zoom in and zoom out, looping animation.

Step 4: Build the Site with motionsites.ai

Pick a template from motionsites.ai. If you don't like the default, tweak layout, font size, and color until it fits.

Step 5: Steal Layouts from Landbook

Say you want to build X sections. Use what you saw on Landbook as inspiration, not a copy. Reference structure, whitespace, hierarchy — but implement it yourself so the final product has your own flavor.

Key Points of This Pipeline

  • Inspiration source: Pinterest (static visuals)
  • Asset generation: AI (background + character, guided by reference images)
  • Motion: Seedance 2.0 (static → looping animation)
  • Container: motionsites.ai templates (fast start)
  • Layout reference: Landbook (don't copy, use as inspiration)
