# Motion Prompt
**English** | 日本語
> 日本語の説明は README.ja.md にあります。
> 中文用户：名称一览目前只有英文和日文。把 `make-your-own/prompts/en/01-translate.md` 交给 Claude Code、Codex 等编程 AI，就可以制作中文或其他语言的版本。
> Other languages: the name lists are in English and Japanese for now. Give `make-your-own/prompts/en/01-translate.md` to a coding AI to make a version in your language.
A library of names for the things you ask an AI to make. Each name comes with a moving sample, a one-line meaning and an example of how to ask for it. Six sets are in it now, 24 names each and 144 in all: motion-graphics moves (`motion`), camera moves (`camera`), UI component names (`ui`), landing page and web effects (`lp`), photo looks, lighting and styles (`photo`), and motion-graphics moves, part 2 (`motion2`). It also comes with the prompts to make the same kind of library for your own field, in your own language.

## Why I made this
I posted a few short videos that put names to motion-graphics moves and camera moves, and over the next few days a lot of comments came in. One of them said, in essence, that what had been holding them back was not a lack of imagination. It was not knowing what this kind of movement is called.
Reading that, I thought: if people who know their field, in many languages, laid out the "common language" you need to work well with AI as a library you can look through, it would be really useful. So I tried making that as a GitHub repository.
This is not one style to copy. It is a place where you can use the prompts and instructions here to make motion graphics like these, and to make the same kind of name samples for your own field, in your own language, with whatever look you like.
Another comment said: "this is how you become a creative director". Exactly. I think it would be a wonderful thing if there were more creative directors all over the world, doing great work together with AI.
