Style prompt (Claude Motion or Opus 5.5)
Make a 1-minute 16:9 timeline film for [viewers] about [period or story] for [who will watch, e.g. people who know the story only by name]. Use the people's own accounts and a reliable history from [sources]; pick five to nine moments, place them by their real dates on a time axis drawn to scale, quote the people who were there, and make the interval the story is about visible. Use only the dates and quotes in the sources I give below; don't change a word or number. End on the interval that matters, held for 3 seconds.
Nothing to install: paste this into Claude Motion (Team or Enterprise) or give it to Opus 5.5 for a similar look. The result changes from run to run; the skill works from your own material and renders on your computer.
