how we used midjourney video to add motion to the prism homepage without slowing performance, plus a simple workflow.

Stunning motion doesn't have to drain your budget - if you know the right AI tools.
A scroll-stopping hero section or subtle background loop instantly shows that your brand sweats the details. Until recently that polish required hiring a motion studio, long revision cycles, and thousands of dollars per clip.
AI generation flips the script: we now prototype, iterate, and ship micro-animations in hours, not weeks - freeing budget for growth (opens in a new tab) experiments elsewhere.
Old workflow: design (opens in a new tab) > storyboard > animate > render.
New workflow: prompt a single image > click Animate > download.
Steps:
Midjourney's UX mirrors good design thinking: diverge widely, then converge decisively.
Before: static gradient and generic stock art.
After: a gently looping AI video that signals creativity and technical mastery.
Early results:

Productized execution
AI can compress execution time, but reliability comes from systems. Prism builds repeatable AI workflows that are trackable, auditable, and business-relevant.
