Spotlight — a square social ad template that survives your content.
It’s for anyone launching a product, a menu item or an offer — a café, a studio, a shop — who needs it to move without hiring a motion designer. Every part you’d change is its own named element (logo, headline, subline, product-image, cta, badge): retype the text, drop in your photo and logo, swap the accent colour, and the motion follows untouched, because every movement is relative to the element rather than to its content.
Built entirely through the SVGator MCP from Claude: the full project — layers, live text, named elements, clip mask and the 6-second loop — was authored in one create_project call, verified with get_skeleton, refined with edit_part, then duplicated and re-texted for the second brand before the final swap by hand.
Smart build Jonathan! Spotlight is such a needed template - most small businesses like cafes and shops need motion but can't hire a motion designer every time. Making every element (logo, headline) its own named layer is such a pro move for usability. Survives your content - love that tagline! Great submission!

Hourfield is a 16-second 16:9 launch film for products that organise people's time: calendars, schedulers, booking and reservation apps, planners. Retype a few short lines, drop in your logo and rename the calendar's days and tiles (meetings, table bookings, classes, shifts): the week re-plans itself on screen and the film lands on your logo lockup. Our second version, Maréva, a fictional table-booking app, turns the working week into an evening of reservations on the same animation and timing.
Built end-to-end through the SVGator MCP server. The calendar that re-plans its own week, the orbit that swirls into a single dot and the lines centred by their real letter shapes (fonts measured, not eyeballed) were computed in Python and written straight into a live SVGator project as 780 editable keyframes; I directed every note and finished it in the canvas. Maréva was made the same way, on the same timeline. Everything stays a real layer: 50 live text layers, named elements (headline, logo, product-name, tagline) and one logo image animated in two moments.
Yes, there is a lot to edit: every line of the story, a whole week of calendar tiles, a palette in nine roles. A full rebrand takes longer than five minutes, and that is the honest trade: it shows how much a single SVGator file can carry, and how MCP makes a detailed, story-driven film practical to re-make, not just to watch.

Love the smooth flow and the text animation! Good luck!
Shapeshift is a looping product-carousel ad I designed as a reusable template for any brand with four products to show (flavours, colourways, a menu), made for Instagram and paid social. Every piece is a named layer: retype the text, drop your photos into the four product slots and recolour, and the motion stays the same. Swap in a different shape set (soft, Mughal or geometric) and the same timing takes on a new personality.
I built it with the SVGator MCP. I came up with the concept and art-directed the motion, colours and every rebrand, while an AI assistant made the layer edits through the MCP. Every version in the video (vivid, light, the Bunsmith burger rebrand and the Mughal shapes) comes from that same file.
