Why it works
The opening types one customer question, then the frame-100 reframe turns it into a conversation without an early cut. Plate 4 measures three hard cuts at frames 810, 870 and 1710; shot 3 then makes detection and action visible through timed UI states and a 45-frame focus reveal at frame 1420. A short dark bridge and the final white card make the solution legible amid mostly pale frames.
Blueprint
The first 2 of 15 plates are open. Claude reads the same plates over MCP.
Plate 01
The format in one breath
A tiny customer exchange becomes a visible operational risk. A narrated turn then shows {{PRODUCT}} moving from detection to action through precise interface states, with a one-second dark logo bridge and a spare proposition card.
Why it works (inferred)
- The first 1.67 s use a typing cursor on a nearly empty field; the jump at frame 100 turns that same question into a compact exchange without spending a cut.
- One danger-coloured message around 6.8 s makes the broad problem concrete, while the actual first hard cut is saved for frame 810.
- Shot 3 supplies proof through status changes and a chart; the focus pull at frame 1420 gives the last example a reveal inside the same shot.
